On this episode, I sit with Sneakerhead/Sneaker Enthusiast , Ashley Dawson (solesandpearls_) to have a conversation about all things sneaker. We discuss everything from what is a "sneakerhead," to how the "sneakerhead" and sneaker community, as a whole, have evolved over time and we even shared our craziest/wildest sneaker stories. My hopes for this episode is for sneakerheads that share the same feelings as we do to know that they are not alone and for future sneakerheads to know that it isn't easy out here being a sneakerhead! LolAshley was featured on Nice Kicks' "Small Town Sneakerhead," a mini-series highlighting the unique grind of being a sneaker collector and aficionado from the secluded pockets of America off the beaten path.

Quintin Williams takes us on a journey from athlete to footwear designer and how he created his own path to success by starting Q4 Sports, an independent performance footwear brand currently worn by NBA players around the league. Coming from a small town in Georgia, Quintin Williams was raised on old school values. Hard-work and commitment were a couple that his mother and father not only instilled in him, but showed him by example. Quintin was a gifted athlete but also had an artistic side that was screaming for an outlet. Through hard-work, commitment, determination and good timing that outlet revealed itself into the form of sneakers.

"Apply what you learn [online] and actually do something—even if it's not for making money—just make something. Do something with what you're learning and practice it." Matt Halfhill, founder of Nice Nicks, is not a monolith or a cliche ‘sneakerhead’. The son of college professors who moved to California from the Midwest, Matt played in a Dixieland Jazz band as a kid, fell in love with sneakers in the Caribbean in Grenada, and dropped out of college to start the Internet’s first-ever sneaker blog. Today, what started as a blog has become a digital media brand that is one of the most trusted in the footwear industry with over 4 million followers on Instagram. From experimenting with web development in the late 90s to learning to sell overstocked sneakers on eBay from his first job, Matt developed a love of technology and digital communication as a youth. Halfhill joins MoS to discuss the story of Nice Kicks, its mission to be inlusive of all folks wanting to become a fan of sneakers no matter their level of knowledge about the industry, as well as how the company has evolved over the years. We discuss the shift of content marketing from brands, what it was like to open and then later popular brick-and-mortar sneaker shop, as well as why news is a commodity and our voice is all we have to sell that is truly unique when it comes to building a digital media brand. Matt's love of sneakers and his hacker-like mentality for figuring things out has led to a lifelong career in a billion dollar niche at the intersection of sport, culture and fashion.

Tori Boykins is a creative with many layers. A boxer, entrepeneur, graphic designer and gritty midwesterner, Tori joined the show to discuss her long journey breaking into the sports design scene, first at the Kansas City Chiefs, and currently as a graphic designer with the Kansas City Royals. From majoring in interior design at a Big Ten university known for engineering, to starting a business in college and running it six years, Tori has had quite an eclectic career. We attempt to peel back the many layers of her story beginning with a love of art and geek culture as a kid in Cincinnati, Ohio. We discuss how she got sucked into "old school mentality" choosing to attend community college to get an associates in graphic design after already obtaining a Bachelors in Interior Design years earlier and founding a small business. Tori also elaborates on how a black-owned design studio in Texas gave her a chance as a design intern, as well as how pitching free projects to real, underserved sports brands such as women's boxing and a local basketball team led her to an interview with an NBA team and an eventual gig in the NFL. Throughout the episode, we discover a common theme of Tori's midwestern grit and hustle, as well as how important humility and risk-taking are when it comes to pursuing your dreams in the sports business. Lastly, Tori touches on the importance of learning new skills and why she hopes to leave a positive legacy for minorities that come after her in the sports design industy.

We drink. We talk. We movie. About the movie: Pete Bell (Nick Nolte) is a college basketball coach who has to improve his team's standing -- by any means necessary. His hopes are pinned on a trio of talented players: Neon Boudeaux (Shaquille O'Neal), Butch McRae (Penny Hardaway) and Ricky Roe (Matt Nover). But in order to get them to sign to his school, Bell will have to illegally pay the players off. If he's caught, it could destroy Bell's coaching career and cast a cloud of shame over his team. Will he risk it all to win? Release date: February 18, 1994 (USA) The Guests: Ian Stonebrook: With a jumper, a cross over and a mean drive to the hoop - Ian is a true baller and shot caller. He is also a man that gives back to community and helps kids in need of a role model. Bonus - his fashion sense is on point. Matt Halfhill: My name is Matt Halfhill, and I am the founder of Nice Kicks. I was born in Fresno, California and that’s where I lived for the first 15 years of my life until my family moved to the Caribbean and then Canada. I always had an interest in sneakers, starting from when I wanted a pair of the Iverson’s in 8th grade, but my passion got really jumpstarted when I got a job at one of Canada’s big sneaker stores in Victoria when I was 16. It was called Athlete’s World and it was sort of like Canadian Footlocker. The hosts: Jason Dick: Bud Light, pizza loving man that has whit and charm like the international comedian that he is.
