The sneaker resale bubble popped. We break down deadstock market traps, the newest Supreme drop, and downsizing shoe closets.

Hype cycles move fast, but collector bank accounts take the hit. Episode 73 of the 12Hub Podcast dissects the state of sneaker culture, where flooded markets have turned former grail models into outlet staples. From the collapse of modern NMD S1 investments to the reality of sitting on walls of deadstock Nike SB Dunks, the hosts cut through resale delusions to spotlight what actually holds value.

The conversation expands into streetwear quality checks, weighing recent Supreme drops and controversial graphic tees against Palace, Stone Island craftsmanship, and designer frames. Later, the room shifts into an unvarnished debate on corporate America's race to cut headcount through AI, contrasting real creative vision with disposable template production, before wrapping with an honest look at collector fatigue and reclaiming living space from tower-high sneaker boxes.

What You'll Learn:

- The Deadstock Trap: Why holding modern retros and collabs rarely beats cashing out immediately.

- Hype vs. Quality: How Supreme, Palace, and Stone Island compare on build, stitching, and price tags.

- AI in Corporate America: Why middle-management overhead is shrinking and how genuine creatives survive.

- The Downsizing Blueprint: Practical steps to liquidate overflow pairs without losing your shirt on fees.
