The 12 Hub Sneaker Podcast Episode 019 | A Sickness: Why Sneakerheads Are Obsessed With Doubling Up
#12hubsneakerpodcast
In this episode, the guys kick things off with a wild story about a $10,000 quote for outdoor lighting that quickly turns into a conversation about the questionable spending habits of sneakerheads. They dive deep into the world of rare and painful Nike ISPA sneakers, discuss the constant delays with Travis Scott releases, and debate why LeBron's signature shoes get no love in the resale market.
The conversation then shifts to the main topic: Why do we double (or triple) up on sneakers we barely wear? They explore the psychology behind needing a backup pair, the state of the resale market, and the obsession with collecting everything from clothes and hats to tech gadgets. From the new Kirkland SB Dunks to nightmare stories about club dress codes, this episode covers all the random thoughts and compulsive habits that define a true collector.
