Why would two friends who'd been working at the highest levels of product design at Nike, Under Armour, and Puma — and in some of the biggest product categories (soccer, basketball, and running) — set out to create a hyper-specific, hyper-performance trail running shoe company? We talk to the co-founders of Speedland, Dave Dombrow and Kevin Fallon to get the answers; to learn about their paths to becoming directors of design and innovation at some of the biggest brands in the world; and to discuss the design elements of what a “hyper-performance” trail shoe looks like to them.TOPICS & TIMES:What is Speedland?

We got a real one on the show this week. A Chi town legend, author, journalist and the man with one of the coldest nicknames in the game, Robert “Scoop” Jackson. Unfiltered is the best way to describe this episode as Scoop sits down with Will and Arthur on Hoop Dreams The Podcast to dive deep into his origin story, from growing up in South Shore, where he still lives today, to hooping all over the city of Chicago. His mother's focus on education for her children led to him going to four different grammar schools by the time he was in grade 8, which means he basically went to school with everybody! He talks about the power basketball can provide for youth and how his love for the game, combined with the confidence his mother instilled in him, helped him to fit in and make friends when he was the new kid at a new school. Scoop reflects on his mothers integrity and compassion for kids in the neighborhood and the influence that had on him growing up. He shares stories about his days at Xavier University and receiving a Masters in Arts degree from Howard. His passion for writing, basketball and hip hop eventually led to a career as a journalist covering sports for publications such as SLAM, ESPN, The Source, Vibe, USA Today and many others. Nike even commissioned him to write Sole Provider: 30 Years of Nike Basketball chronicling the inside story of Nike and its influence on the sport.

Leading all recruiting efforts for the Cardinal program, Cohen was instrumental in landing one of the best recruiting classes in school history for 2020. Stanford's 2020 class was regarded by nearly all the recruiting services as a top-10 class, led by top-five signee Ziaire Williams, the highest-rated student-athlete in program history. Cohen has played an important role for a Stanford team that won 19 contests overall, finished third in the Pac-12 and won 11 conference games – its highest finish and most conference wins in 10 seasons – in 2018. The Cardinal earned a postseason berth for the first time in three years. Regarded as one of the game's rising young coaches, the NABC named Cohen to its prestigious 30-under-30 Team, recognizing the nation's top assistant coaches, at the 2016 Final Four in Houston.

Cohen arrived on The Farm prior to the 2016-17 season, after serving as an assistant coach at Vanderbilt for two seasons. He helped guide the Commodores to 40 combined victories and postseason berths in his two years in Nashville. Vanderbilt won 19 games and reached the NCAA Tournament in 2015-16. Prior to Vanderbilt, Cohen was an assistant coach at Harvard. During the 2013-14 campaign with the Crimson, he helped guide the program to its fourth straight Ivy League title, an NCAA Tournament appearance, and program records for overall victories (27) and conference wins (13). He helped develop several All-Ivy selections, including Player of the Year Wesley Saunders. Cohen broke into coaching during the 2012-13 season, serving as an assistant coach at Rice. He oversaw the Owl's recruiting efforts, where he recruited all-conference and all-academic selection Marcus Jackson.

Stanley Lumax is the founder of African Chop House, which celebrates African culture through good food, music and people. As a professional marketer and a photographer - Stanley’s also worked with Nike Basketball, the NBA, Converse, Beats By Dre’. Growing up in a Ghanaian household, Stanley combines all of his experiences to ignite the African Diaspora together. His latest endeavor is the restaurant Teranga, a Harlem-based Pan-African restaurant led by celebrated Senegalese Chef Pierre Thiam. In a candid conversation about giving back to our heritage (and homeland), Stanley challenges us to think about how we live in a society that is not always welcoming. But ultimately, he believes that all people of color are stronger together - as fighting separately keeps us from reaching our goal of eradicating inequality faster, together.

Who is Estaban Weaver? If you remember the name then this one will give you chills. For those of you who don’t then this is a story that you definitely need to take the time to learn about. We always hear about the High School phenoms such as Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and LeBron James. Estaban Weaver got more hype than any of these Hall of Fame names at a younger age. He was known as the "King of Ohio", invited to the Nike All American camp as an eighth grader, held a press conference as an eighth grader to announce his High School choice, and he was the number one ranked High School player nationwide as a freshman.Weaver was an absolute magician with the basketball. With the lift on his left-handed jumper, the no-look passes, hypnotizing spin moves, defensive intensity, and electric bounce; there was nothing on the basketball floor that Estaban couldn’t do. We are beyond honored to have him on the show today to hear more about his story and his amazing documentary titled “WHO IS ESTABAN.” We had such a great time learning more from the legend himself. He is such a high character guy, and the peace and love he still has for the game of basketball is something that we truly admire. He has the respect and love from both former and current NBA players as well as the whole city of Columbus OH, and that's something that money can never buy. His legacy is still very well respected by his peers and honestly, we believe his legacy is just getting started. Thank you Estaban Weaver!

Part 2 of our Brand & Partnership Building conversation with Glenn Chin... Long-lasting and mutually beneficial Brand Partnerships are built based on the deep understanding of the different parties. We talk shop with Glenn Chin, a respected brand executive in the sports and gaming industries, who has held leadership positions at EA Sports and Nike, amongst several others, where he helped launch and marketed some of the most iconic sports videogames in our era, such as Madden and NBA Live, or launched sports & tech products like Nike+. He also led the Global Brand operations of Nike Basketball, around the time of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the “Redeem Team”, as well as luring into the Nike stable NBA superstar Kevin Durant. Nowadays Glenn runs his own brand strategy consultancy firm, Most Prolific, where he continues to develop great creative ideas in the apparel, eSports, tech and sports industries. The story of Glenn, who is a friend and a mentor, is perhaps also the story of all of us here at The Connect too. All of us got introduced to the sports industry by playing the sports we love, whether that is basketball, baseball or soccer. Each of us had hopes of having a pro career, but when we realized that this was not an option, we simply could not stay away from the sports industry.

It's been a wild ride for Kevin Durant's signature sneakers. After starting out strong and arguably being the hottest signature model on the market, KD shoes have been on a decline for a while in terms of energy.
