Pair of Kings
Hosted by Sol Thompson and Michael Smith, Pair of Kings is a fashion podcast exploring streetwear culture, designer pieces, and the relationship we have with our clothing through themes of identity, sustainability, and collective affinity. Each weekly episode dives into streetwear outfits, emerging designer brands, archive fashion, and the stories behind Grailed finds that define modern menswear.
The podcast exists between legacy fashion media and new-age influencer coverage, highlighting creatives who push the envelope—from streetwear hoodies designers to luxury sneaker collaborations. We cover everything from techwear essentials to vintage band tees, Rick Owens shoes, Japanese denim to Chrome Hearts jewelry, examining their distinctive impact on the fashion world.
Whether you're into Yeezy Gap drops, Archive Raf Simons, Nike Tech Fleece,
Patagonia Baggies, Salomon Sneakers, Arc'Teryx Jackets, Helmut Lang vintage, CP Company Google Jackets, or just building your personal style uniform, Pair of Kings focuses on what's new, invigorating, and notable in contemporary menswear—from Stone Island technical pieces to thrifted gems, New Balance 550s to Balenciaga runway analysis.
