The ‘Dirty Triple White' Nike Air Force 1 is the most viral sneaker this year. It's a shoe from Nike's Dot Swoosh division that's made to look like it's been worn-in right out of the box. The shoe is supposed to get cleaner as you wear it, revealing a crispy white Air Force 1 underneath. Why are people so mad about it? On this episode, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss the sacred status of the white-on-white Air Force 1s, the less-talked-about black pair, and the real thing you should be mad about when it comes to Uptowns. Also on this episode, a preview of New Balance's Grey Day celebration, a recap of the best sneakers of the year so far, and the upcoming Undefeated x Air Jordan 4. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of shoepodcast, we're joined by Alfred Banks as we dive into the wild world of Nike's “What The?” sneakers! From chaotic colorways to iconic mashups, we rank our favorite (and least favorite) pairs from the legendary series. Which ones nailed it—and which ones missed the mark? Tune in and find out!Check out Alfred Banks:

I want to tell you the story of a kid, born in 1937 into segregated Washington, D.C. He's 9 when his father dies and 13 when his mother has a mental breakdown, disappears, and is institutionalized. He's effectively orphaned. This is how George Raveling's story begins. Despite being dealt one of the worst cards imaginable, George, now 87, went on to become the most revered basketball coach in the world. He played against Jerry West, the man on the NBA logo. He became only the second black basketball player for Villanova University. And he went on to become the first black coach at several American universities. He'd go on to coach and mentor players like Michael Jordan. And chances are, you probably would've never worn—or even heard of—Air Jordan sneakers if it wasn't for George.  Yet, in all his decades of coaching, the words Head Coach never appeared on his door. Instead, it always read: “George Raveling, Educator.” George has had a bit of a Forrest Gump life, somehow showing up at the most important events in American 20th-century history. He stood next to Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington. He met presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Harry S. Truman. And he traveled the world promoting basketball as an international sport. This is a man who made his own breaks, continues to break glass ceilings, and embodies the American dream. Today on Honestly, Bari Weiss sits down with George to discuss his extraordinary life and his new book, What You're Made For: Powerful Life Lessons from My Career in Sports, which he wrote alongside Ryan Holiday.

You may have missed it, but there's a new gang of train robbers in the American West — and they're suprisingly like the bandits of old. For over a decade a team comprised mostly of Mexicans from the state of Sinaloa has been jumping aboard freight cars, sometimes at 70mph, and grabbing…Nike sneakers. Yes, these enterprising thieves have got their eyes on a very particular prize: unreleased, limited-edition Nikes, mostly Air Jordans. And they're good at it. This week's show digs into the gang's MO, what can be done, and some heists of yesteryears — including Butch Cassidy, Jesse James, and a remarkable gold heist that shocked Victorian London.

We love Air Jordans—and we've spent a lot of time discussing the best ones—but let's be honest, there have been some truly awful Jordan releases in the past 40 years. In this episode, co hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty pick out their least favorite Air Jordans of all time. Who is responsible for the J2K “Filbert” Jordan 7? Why do the “Plaid” Air Jordan 5s exist? And are the Dub Zeroes really that bad?

Back at it with episode 80, Nick holds the fort down this episode. We kick things off with a celebration of one of the greatest hood movies of all time: Friday. The movie turns 30 in 2025, and Nick asks if it is the greatest hood movie of all time, over Boyz in the Hood, Menace 2 Society, and more. His answer may surprise you based on quotables, longevity, cast, and messaging in the movie. After that, social media is flooded with pictures left and right of Mt. Rushmore on certain subjects from Air Jordans, comedians, basketball players, etc. One that has struck with Nick for this episode to discuss is a picture of white rappers on Mount Rushmore. Nick gives his thoughts on the picture and gives his opinion of his version. Later, rapper Dody6 featured on Kendrick Lamar's "Hey Now" is now blaming him for being homeless after Dody claims that the song didn't do anything to help him financial wise. Nick asks questions about the entire situation and gives advice for Dody about what to do next. All that plus, shout outs, album recommendations and more!CHAPTERS:1:42: Friday's 30th Anniversary20:00: Can Last Friday work?26:38: White rapper Mount Rushmore37:50: Dody6's grievances w/ Kendrick Lamar43:04: Shoutouts & Album RecommendationFollow the show on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram: @lowendmaraudersFollow the marauders on Instagram: @dj_young_franky, @supreme_excel & @nycholasfuryShop the store: lowendmaraudersshop.comSOURCES:Mike Epps on Last Friday: https://hiphopdx.com/news/mike-epps-confirms-role-ice-cube-friday-plea-chris-tuckerWhite Rapper Mount Rushmore: https://www.complex.com/music/a/shawn-setaro/camron-mase-top-3-white-rappers-mount-rushmore-debateDody6 on Kendrick Lamar: https://hiphopdx.com/news/kendrick-lamar-called-out-dody6

Can you fund your retirement by selling Air Jordans? We learned that Hermès Birkin bags have averaged an annual increase in value of 14.2%, outperforming the S&P 500—but are they truly investments? Investors often view illiquid assets positively because they're tangible, whereas stock investments can be up one minute and down the next. We explore the world of alternative investments in collectibles, including designer handbags, sneakers, cars, fine art, baseball cards, and more.

Those looking to pick up a pair of the brand's Air Jordan 1 High sneakers could shell out an extra $18 on top of their current $180 price tag after the new tariff goes into effect April 9, industry sources told The Post. The 46% tariff on Vietnam would add another $8.28 to the total cost per pair, which adds up when its multiplied by 8,000 – or the number of sneakers that can fit in to a shipping container. But Nike is likely to negotiate deals with its factories to mitigate these costs — or as many industry experts believe, the tariffs will change as the countries negotiate deals.

It has probably happened to you before.You and a friend are talking—not texting, not DMing, not FaceTiming—but talking, physically face-to-face, about, say, an upcoming vacation, a new music festival, or a job offer you just got.And then, that same week, you start noticing some eerily specific ads. There's the Instagram ad about carry-on luggage, the TikTok ad about earplugs, and the countless ads you encounter simply scrolling through the internet about laptop bags.And so you think, “Is my phone listening to me?”This question has been around for years and, today, it's far from a conspiracy theory. Modern smartphones can and do listen to users for voice searches, smart assistant integration, and, obviously, phone calls. It's not too outlandish to believe, then, that the microphones on smartphones could be used to listen to other conversations without users knowing about it.Recent news stories don't help, either.In January, Apple agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the company had eavesdropped on users' conversations through its smart assistant Siri, and that it shared the recorded conversations with marketers for ad targeting. The lead plaintiff in the case specifically claimed that she and her daughter were recorded without their consent, which resulted in them receiving multiple ads for Air Jordans.In agreeing to pay the settlement, though, Apple denied any wrongdoing, with a spokesperson telling the BBC:“Siri data has never been used to build marketing profiles and it has never been sold to anyone for any purpose.”But statements like this have done little to ease public anxiety. Tech companies have been caught in multiple lies in the past, privacy invasions happen thousands of times a day, and ad targeting feels extreme entirely because it is.Where, then, does the truth lie?Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with David Ruiz, we speak with Electronic Frontier Foundation Staff Technologist Lena Cohen about the most mind-boggling forms of corporate surveillance—including an experimental ad-tracking technology that emitted ultrasonic sound waves—specific audience segments that marketing companies make when targeting people with ads, and, of course, whether our phones are really listening to us.“Companies are collecting so much information about us and in such covert ways that it really feels like they're listening to us.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts, plus whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your...

There's no debating that Michael Jordan has the best signature sneaker line ever in the Air Jordans, but who comes next? How close is Penny Hardaway to the top tier of signature shoes with designs like the Foamposite? And where do Bo Jackson and Ken Griffey's shoes stack up? Does Carmelo Anthony deserve a spot in the tier list? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty put together a tier-list ranking of all-time Nike signature lines in this episode.

Sarah's under the weather, but we can't let it get in the way of our 900th episode celebration! Susie tells us that a rare Charizard hit the market, and it's a Cheeto. We're pretty psyched about it, but not as psyched as whatever fool paid $90K for it. There's still time to bid on the Cheeto that looks like the Air Jordan logo though, so don't sleep on that. Susie is obsessed with the Gene Hackman death mystery and how it had the wildest ending imaginable--perfect for a movie...just saying. Sarah is a ChatGPT enthusiast, so we debate whether AI should be used to write emotional texts like obituaries, thank you notes, and breakup letters. Two men died recently looking for Bigfoot (maybe Bigfoot killed them?). And Munchausen by Proxy now has a digital version and it is WILD. Hear why one woman bullied her kid anonymously via burner phones, and what the motive could possibly be for that insanity.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:Go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandy to get 40% off your first box PLUS get a free item in every box for life.

Het kan gek lopen, zo bewijst Elon Musk. Leiding geven aan Tesla, daarna bezuinigen bij de Amerikaanse overheid en nu opeens een oorlog bekokstoven. Niet de kleinste ook nog, want het gaat over een tussen Amerika en China. Musk mocht als belangrijke adviseur van president Trump bij een briefing daarover zijn. Opvallend, want normaal gesproken zijn die briefings uiterst geheim. Nóg opvallender is het omdat Musk met zowel Tesla als SpaceX nogal actief is in China. Of we ons zorgen moeten maken over de invloed van Musk op een mogelijke oorlog, dat hoor je in deze aflevering. En daarin blikken we ook vooruit op ons pensioen. Als beursbedrijven trendsetters zijn, dan gaan wij over 30 jaar BNR uit de problemen redden. Steeds meer hebben een pensionado aan het roer. Dat gebeurt ook bij Nike. Daar werd gerekend op een dramatische terugval van de omzet in het eerste kwartaal. Maar de schade blijkt beperkt. Het gaat ook over een andere trend: kleine beleggers die het opnemen tegen grote hedgefondsen. En nee we hebben het niet over het Reddit-leger, maar over Europese beleggers die springen op defensie-aandelen. En we kijken terug op de beursweek. Een waarin Google z'n grootste overname ooit deed, Nvidia-topman Jensen Huang urenlang voor niks op een podium stond en Fed-baas Jerome Powell zich niks aantrok van Trumps handelsoorlog.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1975, the University of North Carolina basketball team were being led by two men... A 44 year old coach named Dean Smith, and a 19 year old Freshman Point Guard by the name of Phil Ford. The two of them were about to change the program forever. The ACC tournament was Ford's coming out party as he averaged 26 points a game and was named the MVP of the conference tourney as he helped the Tar Heels shock David Thompson and the defending champion Wolfpack in the finals to advance to the NCAA Tournament. Ford would go from there to have one of the greatest four years in UNC basketball history finishing as the school's all-time leading scorer. As it turns out, this kid was golden as well. Playing for Smith again, he guided Team USA to a Gold Medal win in the 1976 Olympics. His junior season he led the Heels to the Final Four and the title game as a consensus first team All-American and in his final season, he once again was a first team All-American before winning the coveted John R. Wooden Award given out to college basketball's top player. When he done, #12 would hang from the rafters and he still to this day is the $4 all-time leading scorer in North Carolina basketball history. An eye injury would derail his promising NBA career which started as the #2 pick of the Kansas City Kings. He would finish his first year as the NBA Rookie of the Year and was well on his way to a long professional career before his vision was forever altered. His playing days over, Ford would return to Chapel Hill in 1988 as an assistant coach under Dean Smith and in 1993 was on his staff for Smith's 2nd national title and first since another freshman sensation by the name of Michael Jordan won it all in 1982 for the Tar Heels. Ford would stay with Smith until he retired and then another three seasons before leaving in 2000. He tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast how much he loved and admired Coach Smith and how his spiritual guidance may have saved his life. He talks about that sensational ACC Tournament that in 1975 that led him to being on the cover of Sports Illustrated and how a year later he was one of 4 UNC players to bring home an Olympic gold medal for the USA. And he talks about the famous "Four Corners" offense that Coach Smith came up with, and Ford helped him perfect. Before there was an Air Jordan, there was Phil Ford... the best point guard in the University of North Carolina's history and one of the best ever to do it... and he shares his insights and stories with us on Past Our Prime.

Fardad Khayami is a rare gem on the Los Angeles dining scene as a hospitality jack of all restaurant trades inside Muse, his French ode to growing up a European inspired gourmand. And it's all laminated dough work, the duck pressing UK mentor, emotional lamb chops, extra butter in the notes, Fabergé tiramisu, and the welcoming smile and service of a young newcomer. But first, Jordan and Max review a recent meal at Dan Tana's with Neal Moritz and Uncle Pints, where it was all Hollywood, buttered bread bolognese dips, committing to the chip, naughty notes for the best dish of the night, Jordan's steak etiquette, a Tana's salad ranking, and Max's alleged quote reviewing the meal.

In today's PT. 2 episode, George Raveling, basketball legend and Civil Rights leader, opens up about his close bond with Michael Jordan, the question he asks himself every morning, and why serving others holds more value than any accolade.As one of the most revered basketball coaches of all time, George has mentored legendary athletes and worked alongside coaching icons like Bob Knight and John Wooden. He played a pivotal role in persuading Michael Jordan to collaborate with Nike on Air Jordan, guided the 1984 U.S. men's Olympic team to gold, and even became the unexpected guardian of the original, handwritten copy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” speech.

How far would Nike possibly go when it comes to bringing grail sneakers back out of the vault? Could untouchable sneakers like the “Red October” Air Yeezy 2 and the Nike Mag actually see some sort of retro? Would people line up all over again for a classic like Sean Wotherspoon's corduroy Air Max 1/97? What about the return of Virgil Abloh's Off-White x Nikes? In light of Nike bringing back heat like the Wu-Tang Dunks and Undefeated x Air Jordan 4s, co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty debate the merits of that kind of retro in this episode. Also in the episode: the best Air Jordan retro era ever, Stussy's Nike Baltoros, and the leopard print Adidas Sambas. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 100-year-old diner in downtown Los Angeles has shuttered, and Jordan made light of the closure which lost him Instagram followers, so the fellas discuss LA institutions, where The Original Pantry Cafe ranked amongst the LA greats, and if Jordo was grave dancing or not with his Tommy Lee Jones gif post. Then, KB's parents are staying with Max, so Jordan uses the oppurtunity to educate everyone on tips for when the parents of the people you're shtupping are staying with you. Plus, two listeners sit-in and rate the live Air Jordan experience, nipple tape when wearing James Perse, social media hate following, Jordan's throat acts up, taking the pod to video, and another layer of disturbing truth is peeled back on the Max onion.

ASICS' sportstyle sneakers, including runners like the Gel 1130 and the Kayano 14, have been on a tear for the last couple of years. Where did the hype around these Y2K running sneakers come from?

The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 might feel like too sacred, special, and recent a shoe to get a retro treatment, but rumors are circulating that Jordan Brand is planning to bring the Virgil Abloh design back out as a retro at the end of this year. What's the truth behind those rumors? And is it right to bring the shoe back so soon? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss that in this episode. They also recap the controversial ‘Bred” Air Jordan 1 85 retro, do an in depth review of the 2025 “Galaxy” Foamposite retro, and talk about the fate of the PlayStation x Nike Air Force 1, another grail-level bring back from Nike.

STYLE! (Part 2). In the final installment of a special two-part series on Style, serious style is apparently found at…Costco? While Chris begs to differ, Matt makes a case for a closet full of Kirkland Signature and – provided Roman chic someday makes a comeback – at least one quality toga. Clearly, the 3Q3D crew is not afraid to break all the rules as they arrive for this second serving of style with a fresh batch of questions (including a frenetic lightning round finale) and 3 new drinks that are as varied (and, in one instance, as regrettable) as the style trends discussed. You may regret your style decisions of years past, but you won't regret listening to this classic episode of 3Q3D!Drinks in this Episode: Bâtonnet cocktail  >> 1 part cognac, 4 parts white wine, 5 parts tonic; 2 cinnamon sticks. Mix cognac, white wine and tonic in a tumbler with ice and pour into a cocktail glass. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and, like a Hefty bag of old clothes you'll be donating to Goodwill, forget this drink ever existed.  Classic Martini (Stirred, not shaken) >> 2 1/2 oz vodka; 1/2 oz dry vermouth (spring for the good vermouth, you'll thank us); 1 dash orange bitters. Garnish: lemon twist. Add the vodka, dry vermouth and orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until very well-chilled, about 20 to 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a lemon twist and go ahead, buy that fancy Costco dress shirt you've been eyeing. YOU DESERVE IT.   Jack Rose Cocktail >> 1 1/2 oz applejack or apple brandy; 3/4 oz lemon juice, freshly squeezed; 1/2 oz grenadine; Garnish: lemon twist. Add the applejack, lemon juice and grenadine into a shaker with ice, and shake until well-chilled. Fine-strain into a coupe glass, garnish with a lemon twist and no, that pair of Air Jordan's doesn't make you look cool. It makes you look like a middle-aged Dad wearing Air Jordan's.    If you've been enjoying the 3Q3D podcast, please subscribe and consider giving us a rating, a review, or sharing an episode with a friend. Follow our social sites here: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/3drinkspodcast/?hl=en  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/3Drinkspodcast

The biggest sneaker release of the year so far is the 2025 retro return of the original black and red “Bred” Air Jordan 1. It's going to be an expensive shoe at $250, and a hard one to get with around 10,000 pairs floating around. How good of a job did Jordan Brand do in recreating its most seminal sneaker? Does this year's iteration of the black and red “Banned” Jordan 1 actually feel like a premium shoe? And does anyone even care about all the little details? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty answer those questions on the latest episode. Also here, they discuss the “Ruby Red Slipper” version of the Wizard of Oz x Nike SB Dunk Low, the recent JJJJound New Balance 993, and Lorenz.OG's hectic New Balance drop. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's the best non-original Air Jordan 3? How good is the “Cool Grey” Jordan 3? Does the “Mocha” Jordan 3 deserve a spot? Also on this episode, the panel discusses ethics around sneaker leaks, the impact on the resale market of Stadium Goods closing its New York City store, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The legendary Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 is getting a legit retail release. Tom Sachs and Nike are back working together. Which will be the biggest sneakers this year? And will some of these highly anticipated pairs—like the “Banned” Air Jordan 1—not live up to expectations? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss those topics on their first episode back in the new year. Also, Brendan live cops sneakers, Joe swings by JD Sports to do some buying of his own, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
