39:28 – Stephen Watch (Post–Under Armour Sneakers)

We take a deep look at Stephen Curry’s sneaker rotation since leaving Under Armour. From what he’s been spotted wearing to what those choices could signal, we discuss whether Curry is simply experimenting or quietly auditioning brands during his sneaker free-agent phase. We also debate which brands make the most sense for him moving forward.

50:51 – J Balvin x Jordan 4 (Rumours)

Next up, we break down the buzz around a rumoured new J Balvin Jordan 4. We discuss early speculation, how it could fit into Balvin’s previous Jordan releases, and whether this collab still has the same excitement it once did. Is this another hit in the making, or is the magic wearing off?

59:18 – Adidas Baseball

We switch lanes and look at Adidas’ push into baseball, examining the new line, athlete endorsements, and how Adidas is positioning itself in a space traditionally dominated by other brands. We also talk about why performance footwear expansion matters for brand relevance.

1:05:55 – Jordan 3 RM (Is It Necessary?)

At this point, we question the existence of the Jordan 3 RM. We break down the design, intended audience, and market strategy behind the model, asking the honest question: Is this silhouette actually needed, or is it just more product noise?

1:15:50 – Nike x Def Jam Air Force 1
