Headed to the beach? Keep a watchful eye on the ocean for sneaker waves. They're sudden, far-reaching waves that are notorious for catching beachgoers off-guard. Videos of Californians being swept away have gone viral, including a recent incident in Santa Cruz where a lifeguard saved a 10-year old from drowning. KQED's Sarah Wright explains what sneaker waves are, why they're dangerous, and how to stay safe while still enjoying the ocean. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sneaker fetish is back on Hide and Seek. A few years after first joining us, Wayne from SNKRBAR returns to talk about how Melbourne's sneaker fetish scene has grown (including moving couches), what has changed since the early days of SNKRBAR, and why sneakers can carry so much erotic, social and cultural meaning. We unpack sneaker worship, scent, sportswear, lad culture, queer coding, public play, online visibility, consent, hygiene, sneakerhead status, and the difference between loving the shoe, the person wearing it, or the whole scene around it. From TNs and high tops to footy boots, gym shoes and rare collectors' pairs, this episode explores how sneakers can become symbols of desire, masculinity, submission, confidence, nostalgia and community. Whether you're a dedicated sneaker fetishist, sneaker-curious, or just wondering what your shoes might be saying about you, Wayne helps us lace up and step back into the world of SNKRBAR.

Jason Whitlock, an Indianapolis native, breaks it down. Michael Jordan built an empire on "Republicans buy sneakers too" — stay neutral, offend no one. In 1991, it was genius.

It's time to lace up when Jarvis Moore joins us to talk about his love for collecting sneakers. He shares how it grew from a childhood longing into a curated collection that serves as his primary form of personal expression, the systematic approach behind his collecting, and how he navigates the hype-driven world of limited collaborations and grail sneakers. Beyond the collecting itself, he reflects on how sneakers function as cultural shorthand, community building, and self-expression, including the Jordans he wore on his wedding day.Guest BioJarvis Moore (he/him) is a Senior Design Lead for Design Systems at Realtor.com, where his job is to build the infrastructure that makes great design possible at scale. In addition to maintaining and architecting systems, he's spent his career teaching teams how to think in systems before they ever touch a component. His work spans enterprise design systems, AI tooling, and the harder question most orgs avoid “how do you actually build design culture, not just document it?” He speaks and teaches on all of it, because he's lived it. He'll tell you the hardest part of design systems was never the components. It's the people. It's always been the people.LinksJarvis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarvismoore1016/Jarvis on Twitter/X: https://x.com/jmodesigns10CreditsCover design by Raquel Breternitz.

Steve Patino didn't build Ales Grey overnight. After spending more than three decades in the footwear industry—working with global brands, designing for celebrities, learning manufacturing in China, and leading billion-dollar growth—he realized he wanted to build something bigger than a successful company. He wanted to build a legacy. In this episode, Steve shares how his childhood love of sneakers became his greatest superpower, why he quit his executive job while his wife was pregnant to launch Ales Grey, and how staying committed to a purpose-driven mission ultimately helped the brand land on Walmart.com.

At first I was going to simply just write about my love of Phil Alden Robinson's spy thriller, Sneakers (1992), but then I decided it was time to start recording my voice again in hopes of returning to our regularly scheduled program next month. Since I needed something to lift my spirits, I asked friend and Chicago Film Critic Erik Childress to join me to talk for 2 hours all about a movie that means a lot to me. Another "Jim and his dad love this movie" example.Instead of only talking about why it's so great as a bonus episode, I thought a feature-length commentary track was in order, something I haven't done since recording last year with Bill Ackerman for the 4K release of At Close Range, another all-time favorite that I'd consider to be underrated. Erik was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to play a game a Scrabble, hop inside an unmarked van and wire-tap a mathematician in order to get our voyeuristic kicks. Even if you're not a fan or don't own this film to listen along as the film plays, feel free to simply just listen us nerd out for a couple hours about this all-star ensemble cast killing it every step of the way. It's a prescient film that has a lot to say and manages to be a blast the whole way through. Grateful to Erik and hope you enjoy what we have to say here!00:00 - 05:31 - Intro05:32 - 02:11:17 - Commentary Track02:11:18 - 02:17:59 - Outro

From there it is all soccer, and this is where the show earns its keep: a shot-by-shot breakdown of the ten-goal third-place thriller, Spain dominating the final, an actually useful explainer of the offside rule, VAR, and why they keep calling Argentina "boys," plus praise for Trump refusing to leave the trophy photo.

In this special episode of Shoe-In Show, recorded live at the Library of Congress in partnership with the Congressional Sneaker Caucus, Matt Priest joins Representative Jared Moskowitz, footwear designer and educator D'Wayne Edwards, and Sean Williams, Co-Founder of SOLEcial Studies, to explore one of the most powerful cultural forces in American fashion history. From the courts to the classroom and Capitol Hill to the streets, sneakers have transcended politics and socio-economic backgrounds to become symbols of creativity, community, and self-expression. This conversation dives into the historical significance of sneakers, the personal journeys of the people who design and champion them, and what they continue to mean to American culture today. Part of the "Fashion at the Library" initiative, this episode makes the case that what's on your feet has always been about far more than footwear.

How much do we really know about how our clothes and shoes are made? Or even where? While the latter is routinely included on care labels, that's often the end of the story, at least the one the brands want to tell you.

But long before the shelves were filled with books, there was a vision to create a place where knowledge could be shared, challenged, and celebrated.For this episode of Thoughts For The Sole, I sit down with CLASS Bookstore founder David Landry for a conversation that moves far beyond books.We explore the origins of CLASS, the intention behind its carefully curated collection, and why a bookstore can become just as influential to a city as a sneaker boutique, an art gallery, or a neighborhood barbershop. We discuss how literature, hip hop, sneakers, art, and community all shape one another, and why preserving culture begins with preserving stories.David also shares some of the sneakers that have defined different chapters of his life, proving that the shoes we wear often carry memories just as powerful as the books we read. Along the way, he opens up about the books that have influenced his thinking, challenged his perspective, and helped shape the mission behind CLASS.Thank you for taking the time out to tune into today's show.

Send us Fan MailTHE HOT ROCKSeason 17's 4x4 Hacks continues with Peter Yates's return to directorial form and TGTPTU's return to contentious split takes among its hosts with the heist caper THE HOT ROCK (1972).  Based on acclaimed crime writer Donald E. Westlake's 1970 novel of the same name as covered in this week's special book report coverage by guest Shannon and regular Tom, and the first of Westlake's comedic Dortmunder series, the film stars—three years after playing the Sundance Kid—Robert Redford as the lead character John Dortmunder, a recently released (paroled in the book) criminal with, it'll turn out, stomach problems (not in the book) and a brother-in-law (unrelated to Dortmunder in the book) fellow criminal Andy Kelp, played by George Segal.   Kelp ropes Dortmunder into a plan to heist a valuable diamond (an emerald in the book) for The Doctor (called The Major in the book) played Moses Gunn, a gem (the diamond, not Gunn, although many are fans of his work on stage and small and large screens) of great wealth and disputed ownership between two African countries, which doesn't really matter much as Gunn's character won't get the treatment he does in the book. Mastermind Dortmunder and locksmith Kelp recruit two other thieves, the wheels who's really into vehicles and likely can pilot a helicopter and the explosives expert who's also the baby of the group who'll turn out to be the son of a shyster lawyer (unrelated in the book) portrayed by Zero Mostel and his legendary eyebrows in a plot nicely summed by the flick's British release title: How to Steal a Diamond in Four Uneasy Lessons.  Adapted for the screen by pod fav writer William Goldman, the film excises a fifth heist (or sixth, depending on its additional double-cross book ending at an airport) from the book, which, okay, it's not the book. The book is mid, and the movie its Temu version for those who've read the book.     For the two hosts who haven't read the book, the movie plays like an early draft of Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven or TGTPTU's previously covered masterpiece Sneakers, which Ken and Ryan bait the youthful Thomas with The Hot Rock being a better film than Sneakers. Thomas bites and snaps hard. Meanwhile, also having read the book prior to watching Yates' efforts at humor, guest Shannon fears the film takes so long getting started with Redford's Dortmunder leaving prison that the movie might run out of filmstock before reaching its end.    As mentioned at the end of the preceding Krull episode, Sleater-Kinney's 1999 album of the same name took its inspiration from this movie.  Toot!

Mike is back with another Coffee Time Kicks episode, and this one is for anybody who has ever looked at a sneaker photo and wondered how someone made a shoe feel alive.Jared Moody is the photo manager at Sneaker Politics, a contract shooter for Sneaker News, and one of the most intentional sneaker photographers working right now. Born and raised in Dallas, Moody got into sneakers around 2010 through his cousins, got deep once he hit high school, and has been building his craft ever since.In this conversation, Mike and Moody cover the full arc, from the KD 4 that changed how Moody thought about shoes, to what it actually takes to walk into a shoot prepared, to the quiet discipline behind his best work. They also get into building trust with models, shooting events as community acts, and what it looks like to do contract work for two outlets without letting either one look like the other.Moody's advice for anyone trying to break in is as straightforward as it gets: work hard, stay consistent, and stop worrying about the numbers.

We also talk about Kanye, why venues and states continue to allow him to perform despite controversy, J Balvin's Air Jordan 4 collaboration, John Geiger donating to Virgil Abloh's charity, and Gordo's appearance on Sneaker Shopping. On the collectibles side, we discuss ripping Pokémon packs, PSA's grading changes, TAG grading, and where we'd put our money long-term between sneakers, cards, and other collectibles. Plus, Scotty gifts Larry, Larry defends some questionable music takes, and we wrap things up with spicy bowls. In this episode we discuss: The current state of sneaker culture Why runners aren't hitting like they used to The growing boot trend J Balvin Jordan 4 discussion Kanye and live performances Drake's music run and album rumors OVO's evolution over the years John Geiger supporting Virgil's charity Pokémon investing and grading PSA vs TAG grading Long-term collectible investments Scotty's gift for Larry Spicy bowls And much more New episodes every week.   SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL ► https://www.youtube.com/@prvt.selection   LISTEN ON: APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-conversations/id1641605422?ign-itscg=30200S&ign-itsct=podcast_box_promote_link SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wnDrQiUCPcUErprdaBX2b  ALL PLATFORMS: https://linktr.ee/PrivateSelection   ADD US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/prvt.selection/   ALL OF OUR SOCIALS: https://linktr.ee/PrivateSelection Follow the Hosts: Ian (@masterchefian) Full Fit Larry (@fullfitlarry) Scotty (@beammmeupscotty) _________________________________________________________________ #PrivateConversations #Sneakers #Streetwear #Podcast

The whole crew is back. Nick, Robbie, Mike, and Rohit reunite for a full-panel episode of the Sneaker History Podcast, and it feels exactly like catching up with friends who happen to know more about shoes than most people you know.They kick things off with Rockin' and Coppin', covering everything from Nipsey Hussle PUMAs and adidas SL EVOs to a World Cup craze over jerseys and some very real talk about what shoe buying looks like when adulting kicks in. From there, the conversation stretches across World Cup sneaker culture, 3D printing and foam technology in performance footwear, the history of player endorsements in soccer, and how the sport has become one of the most interesting spaces in the sneaker world right now.They also spend time on the rise of Skechers as a legitimate player in the athletic space (yes, really), dig into brand rivalries, talk representation in sneaker culture, and close with a preview of where women's basketball footwear might be heading next.It's a wide-ranging one, but that's the whole squad for you.
