Sneaker Podcast 2.0 Episode #003: Crackheads, Contracts & Kicks

The Hub Sneaker Podcast

#sneakerhead #sneakerpodcast #culture #fashion
The crew dives deep into everything from wild run-ins with crackheads to sneaker resale regrets and celebrity drama. We talk about the top 10 times someone tried to kill us (yes, seriously), sneaker podcast fatigue, and how Shannon Sharpe might need an NDA starter kit.
We unpack the rise of Nocta, why Drake’s velour sweatsuits still hit, and how fashion’s obsession with luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Burberry plays into sneaker culture. There’s also a $715 impulse buy (and cancel), a sneaker cop caught live on air, and the true cost of clout.
If you love sneakers, chaos, and culture—this is the pod for you. Tap in for laughs, real talk, and some brutally honest takes.
