#12hubsneakerpodcast
On Episode 15 of the 12hub Podcast (Sneaker Edition), the crew welcomes special guest and fellow content creator, Drew The Sneakerholic! The conversation kicks off with @TheDru-SneakAholic's journey from Philly to Texas, sparking a hilarious debate on regional food staples like pizza, BBQ, and the controversial use of ranch dressing.
The crew dives deep into the modern sneaker world, discussing the ethics of replica sneakers, the problem with reselling fakes, and the confusion surrounding pre-distressed releases like the Nigel Sylvester AJ1 Lows. Drew shares his 20-year collecting journey and how he went from being embarrassed by his collection to becoming a popular TikTok creator.
The discussion also covers the "good old days" of camping out for releases like the Galaxy Foamposites, the current state of Nike SB, whether non-skate shoes should get the SB treatment, and a full breakdown of the crew's most anticipated upcoming drops. Things take a wild turn with an in-depth investigation into the bizarre "Labubu" collectible craze that's sweeping the nation.
To cap it all off, the hosts and Drew share their definitive Top 10 "Brown Sneakers" of all time. Settle in for an episode packed with hot takes, sneaker history, and lots of laughs!
