Each week, we tap in with collectors, creatives, entrepreneurs, and everyday heads who keep the culture moving. From wild stories in the resale game to navigating life, family, and business — we keep it real, insightful, and unapologetically rooted in the culture.

Episode 28 | Kanye West = The King Of Affordability (The $20 Truth)
#12hubsneakerpodcast #Sneakerhead #Yeezy #Streetwear #Podcast #JordanBrand
Is Kanye West the new hero of affordable fashion, or is the new Yeezy drop just cheap basics? Plus, I reveal my embarrassing $200 mistake buying the wrong size on GOAT.
Detailed Summary: In this episode of the 12Hub Sneaker Podcast (Episode 28), we dive deep into the current state of streetwear. We're roasting the quality of high-end brands like Stone Island and asking if Chrome Hearts is actually worth the hype or just an "influence" scam.
We also break down the evolution of the sneaker game, from the nostalgia of bulky 2000s skate shoes (Osiris D3s, anyone?) to the current market where Black Cat 4s are sitting. We debate the ethics of wearing fake sneakers, the reality of "aging out" of streetwear trends, and why smart toilets might be taking technology too far.
