00:00 – Intro
We kick off the episode by setting the tone for the week and previewing the major sneaker conversations ahead.

42:32 – Horse of the Year Sneakers (Nike & Jordan)
We take a closer look at the Horse of the Year–themed Nike and Jordan sneakers, breaking down the inspiration, execution, and whether these themed releases still feel special or are starting to blend into the noise.

1:01:11 – Jordan 3 Denim
The Jordan 3 Denim is back in the spotlight. We break down the materials, design choices, and overall appeal of this release, while debating whether it deserves its place among notable Jordan 3 colorways.

1:16:20 – Zadeh Kicks Sentencing
We cover the major news surrounding Zadeh Kicks, as the owner is officially sentenced to federal prison. We unpack what happened, how this impacted the sneaker resale community, and what lessons the industry should take from this case.

1:24:10 – Fragment (Collab Fatigue?)
Is the Fragment Design collaboration formula starting to feel tired? We discuss Fragment’s long history in sneakers, recent releases, and whether the brand’s minimal approach still excites today’s audience.

1:38:44 – Collaboration Fatigue
This leads us into a bigger conversation: are sneaker collaborations causing fatigue across the culture? We talk about over-saturation, lack of storytelling, and whether fewer, more meaningful collabs would benefit the game.

1:42:37 – Steph Watch
Stephen Curry’s sneaker choices continue to spark speculation. We break down the latest sneakers Curry has been wearing this week and discuss what they could signal as his sneaker free-agent watch continues.

1:52:44 – Sneaker Court of Public Opinion
It’s time for Sneaker Court. We bring questionable sneaker behavior and industry nonsense to trial, deliver verdicts, and let the culture decide who’s guilty and who gets a pass.

1:58:44 – Discount Topics
A rapid-fire segment covering smaller but relevant sneaker stories, including quick news, rumors, and trending conversations you may have missed.

2:14:30 – Outro
