The Hub Sneaker Podcast
Welcome to The 12Hub Sneaker Podcast – Where kicks, culture, and convos collide.
Hosted by Hugh Mulzac, Dakari Boddie & Mike Wavs, The 12Hub is more than just another sneaker podcast. It’s a space where we break down the latest drops, unbox the grails, and talk about what sneakers really mean in the bigger picture — music, identity, hustle, and legacy.
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.

Episode 021 | The Decision 2
#12hubsneakerpodcast
This week, we're breaking down two massive stories rocking the culture: LeBron James' cringey 'Second Decision' Hennessy commercial and the shocking federal raid on Cool Kicks. Is LeBron just leaning into the corniness? And what does the Cool Kicks situation mean for the entire sneaker resale market?
We also get into our latest pickups, including the new J.Tips Sauconys, the Shai Converse, and the Adidas AE 2s, plus a whole lot of hilarious debates and wild stories.
