#12hubsneakerpodcast #SneakerCulture #JordanRetro #SneakerPodcast #Yeezy #SneakerOfTheYear

Are lace swaps ruining sneaker culture or is it just personal expression? We address the Reddit beef, break down a $10k Virgil Abloh sample, and argue over the definitive Sneaker of the Year list.

Detailed Summary: In Episode 36 of the 12 Hub Sneaker Podcast, the crew returns from hiatus to tackle the biggest debates in the community. We start by addressing the controversial "lace swap" comments that set Reddit on fire—are grown men taking Ls for changing their laces?

We also dive deep into sneaker history, reacting to legendary collections like Jumpman Bostic and Jimbo Slice, before getting into the business of resell. The team debates the validity of a $10,000 Off-White sample surfacing at Got Sole and breaks down the upcoming 2026 release calendar, including the return of the Galaxy Foams and Union LA Jordan 1s. Finally, we build our official "Sneaker of the Year" bracket, ranking the best retros, collaborations (Action Bronson, J Balvin), and new silhouettes from Nike, New Balance, and Yeezy.

#12hubsneakerpodcast #Sneakerhead #JordanBrand #SneakerCollection #NikeSB #SneakerMarket
Is sneaker collecting ruining your finances? We break down a $200k debt confession, why we're selling off "grails," and why the new Jordan releases might sit on shelves.

Detailed Summary In this episode, we dive deep into the current state of the sneaker market. We start with a controversial unboxing of the Supreme Ski Goggles and a review of the bizarre new Nike "Mind" shoe. The conversation gets real as we discuss the financial dangers of the hobby, including a massive $200k debt story and the decision to liquidate a massive Jordan 11 collection.

We also debate the upcoming 2026 release calendar, including the return of the Jordan 17 Lows, the "Reimagined" series, and why we think the Jordan 1 hype cycle is hitting a low point. Plus, we give our unfiltered opinions on the Travis Scott Pink lows, the Nigel Sylvester 4s, and why lace swapping classic Jordans needs to stop immediately.

Did 2024 actually suck for Nike SB, or are we just spoiled? Plus, watch a live $300 Supreme impulse buy that goes immediately wrong.

In this episode of The 12 Hub Sneaker Podcast, we’re breaking down the entire year of Nike SB Dunk releases. We debate whether 2024 was a "trash" year for sneaker culture compared to the hype of 2025. The crew roasts the new LeBron 23 "MLK" colorway, discusses the ethical nightmare of Kanye West’s new Yeezy drops (including the controversial swastika shirts), and pays tribute to the legendary Dallas Penn.

Things go off the rails when we browse the Supreme site live, leading to a ridiculous $350 purchase of snow goggles for a man who doesn't ski. We also dive into sneaker reselling ethics, the "Fresh to Debt" mindset, and why lace swapping your Jordan 11s is a crime against fashion.

Is the sneaker resale game finally dead, or are you just doing it wrong? We break down a $2,000 flip, the "Goat Storage" loophole you aren't using, and why Complex’s Sneaker of the Year list is wrong.

In this episode of the 12 Hub Podcast, we are wrapping up the year with some massive hot takes. We start off debating the Nike ISPA line—is it high-fashion genius or just unwearable plastic? We break down the insane math behind flipping the ISPA Road Warriors (including the used split-toe socks) and whether buying back your "grails" is ever worth it.

We also dive deep into the current state of streetwear, discussing why wearing full Supreme or Polo kits is a red flag, and if camo cargo shorts are officially the "old man uniform." Plus, we expose a tax-saving hack using Goat Storage that every collector needs to know. Finally, we roast the current "Sneaker of the Year" brackets, discuss the Gamma 11 marketing push, and share horror stories about shipping theft.

#12hubsneakerpodcast #SneakerPodcast #Supreme #Jordan4 #SneakerCulture #12Hub

Is it better to get robbed for fakes or real heat? We debate the "dying in fake sneakers" scenario, roast the ABC Crystal Puma disaster, and break down the Supreme x MJ drop.

In Episode 32 of the 12Hub Sneaker Podcast, the crew links up for a chaotic holiday special. We kick things off with a heated debate: If you're held at gunpoint, is it more dignified to have real heat or reps on your feet? The conversation shifts to the latest releases, including a brutal review of the "blind bag" ABC Crystal Puma—is it the worst sneaker of the year?

We also dive into the Supreme x Michael Jackson collection (and why the hoodie design failed), a hands-on review of the Nike GT Future (and its brick-like weight), and the insanity of luxury fashion pricing, specifically an $1,100 Hermes strap. Plus, we discuss selling off massive sneaker collections and give a shoutout to the "Tap Stitch" cheat code for custom streetwear.

#12hubsneakerpodcast #Sneakerhead #Jordan11 #ChristmasSneakers #NikeSB #sneakerpodcast

We debate if the Jordan 11 Gamma is actually "ass" or a future classic, and things get heated over the best Christmas sneakers of all time. Plus, we relive the war zone days of mall campouts versus today's soft SNKRS app drops.

In this holiday special of the 12hub Sneaker Podcast, the crew is packing heat and hot takes. We kick things off with the ultimate holiday debate: Is the Kobe 6 Grinch undisputed, or do the LeBron 8 Christmas and Ugly Sweater SBs take the crown? The conversation turns volatile when discussing the recent Jordan 11 Gamma release—are they a clean essential or a lazy cash grab?

We also take a trip down memory lane, swapping war stories about surviving mall riots at PG Plaza and camping out for Galaxy Foams, contrasting it with today's Gen Z reseller market. Later, tensions flare over Jeff Staple's relevance in the culture, we break down the disappointing "Sneaker of the Year" lists, and we finally pull out our personal grails for a Christmas showdown.

In Episode 29 of the 12hub Sneaker Podcast, the crew hits the "Dirty 30" era with a massive Black Friday recap. We discuss the current state of the sneaker market, reacting to viral videos of resellers "crying" about low margins and the Cool Kicks drama.

We also dive deep into tech and luxury, sharing a hands-on look at the fully specced-out 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium and why buying practical cars might be the new flex. On the sneaker front, we debate Nike's mismanagement of the Kobe Bryant legacy, the underwhelming Supreme Box Logo drop, and review the Jordan 4 Black Cats (and their quality control issues). Finally, we react to the internet’s latest main character: Akash Singh’s wife and her viral podcast clips.
