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.

The "Sickness" of Collecting: Why We Buy Shoes We Don't Wear
#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.
