Watched the whole podcast, loved the hot takes.

to be very honest, when i think about the uk and sneakers, i dont think about jordans, because it's not apart of the uk culture, im big on culture and preserving culture, so as uk people, embrace being the best in air max's and new balance and adidas and leave the americans with the jordans ting. so please dont follow the "jordan mids are bad" argument , which to me is garbage, cause in the early 2000s jordan ones were mids and not one person had a problem. to close, embrace your culture more and the shoes y'all are great at

[@thee_others]

Hahaha,I'm thinking about that balenciaga shoe whoever can afford it wanna appear like a begger? That's some next level stuff I can't understand. Secondly, I do not own any NB as I can't vibe with the design of the shoe. Last, I prefer sb dunks over aj over time as I find the silhouette of dunks suits my pants and tops , the flatter toe box of aj feels less updated to me. The adidas nmd s1 are nice too, bought 2 pairs of these.

what old balance over jordans 🤣😂 yeah right

[@thebatman1019]

Jordans are the most overpriced and overhyped clown shoes in existence.

[@monokey2059]

In terms of mids… I think for a lot of the younger generations the Jordan 1 name stops after they hear the number 1. They don’t care if it’s a high, a mid or a low. They’ve just seen jordan 1’s on tik tok and they want something similar. I think most don’t even know the difference tbh.

[@Foxy-N]

All aj1s have the same inferior leather material. High, mid, low. All people are paying for is hype. People should just buy what they like and not listen to others

[@Foxy-N]

All air jordan 1s, highs, mids, lows, have the same crappy leather material. All people are paying for is the brand and the hype.
Don’t buy into it!
