Over 20 severed human feet have mysteriously washed ashore along the coastlines of British Columbia and Washington since 2007—each one inside a sneaker. With no matching bodies, and no clear foul play, the phenomenon captured global attention and ignited a firestorm of urban legends, hoaxes, and theories.In this gripping true crime deep dive, we explore the eerie timeline of these chilling discoveries, uncover the forensic science that explains how feet can naturally disarticulate, and examine the media frenzy that turned a natural phenomenon into modern-day folklore.Was it a serial killer? A string of tragic accidents? Or something even stranger?We're telling that story tonight

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we give a tariff update. The steep tariffs on China were delayed yet another 90 days, but tariffs on countries including Switzerland are now in effect, wreaking havoc on the luxury fashion industries. We also talk a bit about Gildan acquiring HanesBrands — both brands are giants in the world of comfortable plain T-shirts. Finally, we talk about the controversy around Adidas and Willy Chavarria's Oaxacan Slip-On. Later in the episode, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska joins us for a roundtable discussion on the state of the sneaker market. There was a gold rush of sneaker collaborations and category expansions through the late 2010s and early 2020s, but now the market is evolving. New players like On and Hoka are taking market share from traditional stand-bys like Nike. And experimental new silhouettes — from the slim-fitted Adidas Samba and Puma Speedcat to the wilder sneaker-loafer and sneaker-ballet flat hybrids — are becoming more popular. For this discussion, we also spoke with Alex Lotier, CEO of sneaker-focused Culture Media; Noah Thomas, formerly of Highsnobiety and currently the associate fashion director for men's and kid's at Macy's; and Brendan Dunne, senior director of customer, community and engagement at StockX. Below are a few highlights from the conversation.

Unser Thema: schlechtes Gewissen. Gibt es etwas, was euch auf der Seele liegt oder was ihr bereut? Vielleicht habt ihr ja mal beim Shoppen was mitgehen lassen, im Streit unfaire Dinge gesagt, noch ein paar neue Sneaker gekauft, obwohl ihr schon 50 Paar habt, die Freunde wieder nicht angerufen oder den Geburtstag eurer Partner:in vergessen. Wie geht ihr damit um? Habt ihr Tipps oder habt ihr sowas noch nie erlebt, dass euch das schlechte Gewissen plagt?
Ever wondered what happens when you mix high fashion, premium bourbon, and fighting cancer? The Suits and Sneakers charity event delivers a uniquely exhilarating experience that's changing the fundraising landscape in Northwest Arkansas.This fifth annual celebration, scheduled for Friday, October 17th at the Fayetteville Town Center, brings together bourbon enthusiasts, sneakerheads, and philanthropists for an unforgettable night of giving. As Lisa Bores of Sazerac and Catherine Tapp from the American Cancer Society share with the B-Team crew, this year's theme, "Cheers to Five Years", promises a birthday party atmosphere on a grand scale, complete with new surprises that build on the event's stellar reputation.Bourbon takes center stage thanks to Sazerac's exceptional offerings. This year's whiskey pool allows attendees to enjoy unlimited pours of allocated bourbon throughout the evening, take home a commemorative glass, and receive a surprise bottle, all for a $100 contribution. The signature auction will feature an exclusive Eagle Rare barrel experience, following last year's Buffalo Trace barrel that raised an impressive $30,000.What truly sets Suits and Sneakers apart is its fashion component. "Sneaker police" roam the event, issuing "citations" to guests with exceptional footwear, directing them to a sneaker stage for recognition. Categories include most innovative, most spirited, and most sparkly, with winners receiving coveted prizes. The event has even spawned a thriving custom sneaker industry in Northwest Arkansas, with artists creating one-of-a-kind designs specifically for the occasion.Beyond the bourbon and fashion, entertainment abounds with a human slot machine featuring Buzz Balls, a fashion show showcasing cancer survivors alongside athletes, and Buffalo Trace root beer floats during the dance party. All proceeds support the American Cancer Society's critical mission of funding cancer research and providing essential services like transportation and lodging for patients.Don't miss your chance to participate in this extraordinary event where doing good feels this good. Tickets and sponsorships are available now at suitsandsneakersAR.com. Secure yours before they're gone!

This week, Josh and Fabs dive into the end of the “main character” sneaker era — those once-untouchable hype shoes that ruled the game, from the Balenciaga Triple S to Travis Scott's AJ1s. Sneaker culture has shifted, and it's no longer about one shoe dominating everyone's rotation. We talk about how the scene has exploded into a mix of styles — from runners and skate shoes to dress sneakers and hiking kicks — and what that means for collectors, casual wearers, and the brands trying to keep up. We'll break down why hype isn't dead, but different… and why that might actually be the best thing that's happened to sneakerheads in years.
Our U.S. Thematic and Equity Strategist Michelle Weaver discusses what back-to-school spending trends reveal about consumer sentiment and the U.S. economy.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michelle Weaver, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Thematic and Equity Strategist here at Morgan Stanley.Today -- we're going back to school! A look at the second biggest shopping season in the U.S.. And what it can tell us about the broader market.It's Friday, August 8th, at 10am in New York.It's that time of the year again. With parents, caregivers and students making shopping lists for back-to-school supplies. And it's not just limited to school supplies and backpacks. It probably also includes laptops or tablets, smart phones and, of course, the latest clothes. For investors, understanding how consumers are feeling—and spending—right now is critical. Why? Because back-to-school spending tells us a lot about consumer sentiment. And this month's data has been sending some mixed but meaningful signals.Let's start with the mood on Main Street. According to our latest proprietary consumer survey, confidence in the economy is sliding. Just under one-third of consumers think the economy will improve over the next six months—which is down from 37 percent last month and 44 percent in January. And that's a pretty big drop from the start of the year. Meanwhile, half of all consumers expect the economy to get worse.Household finances are also feeling the squeeze. While around 40 percent expect their financial situation to improve, closer to 30 percent expect it to worsen. The net score is still positive, but down from last month and even more so from January.The takeaway? Consumers are feeling the pinch—and inflation remains their number one concern.We did see a bit of a brighter picture though around tariff fears. And tariffs are definitely still a worry, but we're past that point of peak fear. This month, over a third of consumers said they're “very concerned” about tariffs—down from 43 percent in April, post Liberation Day. And fewer people are planning to cut back on spending because of them: that number is just 30 percent now, compared to over 40 percent a few months ago.In fact, almost 30 percent of consumers actually plan to spend more despite tariffs. That's a sign of resilience—and perhaps necessity—as families prepare for the school year.And that brings us back to back-to-school shopping, which is a relative bright spot.Nearly half of U.S. consumers have already shopped or are planning to shop for the school year—right in line with what we saw in previous years. Among those shoppers, 47 percent are spending more than last year, while only 14 percent plan to spend less. That's a significant net positive at 34 percent.What's in the cart? More than 90 percent of shoppers are buying apparel, footwear, and school supplies. Apparel leads, followed by footwear, followed by supplies.If we look beyond the classroom at other things people are spending on, travel is still a priority. Around 60 percent of consumers plan to travel over the next six months, with visiting friends and family as the top reason. That's consistent with where we were a year ago and shows that experiences still matter—even in uncertain times.The big takeaway from all this data: Consumer sentiment is cooling, but spending—especially spending for seasonal needs—is holding up. Back-to-school categories like apparel and footwear are outperforming, making them potential bright spots for retailers.As we head into fall, keep your eyes on U.S. consumers. They're not just shopping for school—they're also signaling where the market could be headed next.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is making headlines this week as his monumental 30-date residency No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí continues to electrify Puerto Rico. The excitement across San Juan is palpable, as thousands of devoted listeners pour into the Coliseo de Puerto Rico for weekends filled with music and spectacle. Bad Bunny's choice to focus this year's live performances on his homeland, rather than traditional international touring, further cements his unique role as an ambassador for Puerto Rican identity and culture. According to Thred, Bad Bunny wanted fans to “meet him in his home, Puerto Rico,” underscoring his ongoing commitment to his roots and his people.The show itself is generating international buzz, from sentimental Instagram posts like one from The Cut describing tears of joy watching Benito perform at El Choli, to news that the first nine dates were reserved exclusively for Puerto Rican residents. Ticket demand has been overwhelming—80,000 sold in hours at local malls and markets. Now, global ticket buyers are flying in, some securing bundled hotel-and-ticket packages for the experience. Bloomberg even projects that the residency could add over $200 million to Puerto Rico's economy. The residency, running through mid-September, headlines every weekend and is both a celebration of Puerto Rican resilience and a statement about the artist's global influence.On the music front, Bad Bunny just released a brand new single, “Alambre Púa,” debuting it live as the opener for his San Juan residency before dropping it on streaming platforms. Variety reports that “Alambre Púa” marks his first new music since January's No. 1 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, blending high-energy performance with his signature lyrical honesty. The residency's 30-song setlists mix this fresh release with anthems from his chart-topping albums, uniting deep cuts and dance-floor classics. His album continues to dominate charts, still landing in the Top 10 months after its early January release. Bad Bunny's continued chart presence reaffirms his place at the forefront of global Latin music.The cultural footprint of Bad Bunny extends beyond the stage. In partnership with adidas Originals, he's celebrating five years of collaboration with a sweeping, multi-sensory “cultural takeover.” According to Adidas press news, the festivities have included everything from a historic Formula 1 demo run through the streets of San Juan—making history as the first ever in Puerto Rico—to a pop-up archive and exclusive product previews. The buzz intensified when Bad Bunny debuted the new, unreleased AdiRacer GT sneaker on stage, building anticipation for the upcoming Adidas and Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team collaboration.The social media ecosystem is buzzing, too, with visuals, reactions, and exclusive content flooding Instagram. CNN noted the “sense of excitement permeating Puerto Rico” as the homegrown superstar unites fans both locally and around the world. Sneaker culture is also in celebration mode, with 150 pairs from Bad Bunny's Adidas collaborations displayed in The Archive popup, and images of Benito's residency performances circulating widely.Bad Bunny isn't limiting himself to music: listeners are also looking forward to seeing him alongside Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore 2, set to release later in July, with other fan-favorite cast members returning. From sold-out concerts to movie screens, his impact remains universal.Thanks for tuning in for the latest on Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico—where music, culture, and community meet center stage. Come back next week for the most current updates on Benito and more stories from the world of music and culture.

Coming to you from the JRE Tobacco Aladino Studios, Nick is joined by his dad, Jim, for some cigars and conversation. Nick fires up the Camp Aladino Maduro gorbusto while Jim lights a Villiger Cuellar Caribe robusto.

Stand-up comic Roy Wood Jr. is also an author and is back on The Bonfire to promote his new book "The Man Of Many Fathers." Roy's father was a civil rights journalist and womanizer. He relates to Bobby about growing up without a dad who was present and tying to raise his own child without knowing fatherly love. As a kid, Roy chose his sneakers based on being just cool enough not to get bullied over. Jay brings up the topic of tattoos and remembers Joe DeRosa getting ink because George Carlin said something generic to him. Roy Wood Jr's book "The Man Of Many Fathers: Life Lessons Disguised as a Memoir" is for sale anywhere you buy books. *To hear the full show to go www.siriusxm.com/bonfire to learn more FOLLOW THE CREW ON SOCIAL MEDIA: @thebonfiresxm @louisjohnson @christinemevans @bigjayoakerson @robertkellylive @louwitzkee @jjbwolfSubscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of The Bonfire ad-free and a whole week early.

In this episode, I talk about if the Tom Sachs Mars Yard 3.0 in-app challenge release was made exclusively for the unemployed. I also talk a lot about recent sneaker releases and give an update on 2JsKicks having champagne wishes and caviar dreams at Nobu. I also warn sneakerheads to be wary whenever a company declares itself a “sneaker culture company”. Finally I talk about some recent sneaker content creator blues, and if you've been providing enough value for the brands lately (no, you have not, straighten up will ya). A lot of show, a lot of fun, all killer, no filler!New socks are also available in very limited quantities: https://shop.sockjig.com/Timestamps00:00 Intro02:41 New Sockjig Socks Available Now04:17 On Feet: Off White Presto05:32 Pickups: adidas Orion Terry Fox 45th Anniversary07:23 Patta Air Max 90 Waves07:44 JJJJound Asics Gel Quantum 36008:20 JJJJound Puma Mostro09:07 AMM AF1 & AM9510:48 Levi's Air Max 95s Release Recap14:13 Who Decides War Jordan Flight Court15:28 Air Jordan 4016:45 Paris Fashion Week: JFG 200017:16 Get Clint to Debut Your Sneaker17:39 Does a Kids of Immigrants FNF Sneaker Make Sense?19:30 Adidas Jellyfish20:52 Clipse Sambas23:13 Kith New Balance 204L23:50 Abc x Fantastic Four x Puma27:50 Premium Goods Air Max 1 for the NYC Mayor29:15 Tom Sachs is Keeping The Mars Yard Lore Intact37:47 TwoJsKicks Update40:11 Brendan Dunne to StockX47:41 Sneaker Content Creator Blues53:55 Outro

We assess both cities across a number of metrics to see who comes out on top.___________________________________________________________YOU CAN FIND EUGENE & THE SNEAKER LAUNDRY HERE:

Show Notes: In 1997, the world was stunned by the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult in San Diego. But one detail stood out in every photo of that tragic scene—the matching black Nike Decade sneakers on each body. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore how these now-infamous shoes became a dark symbol of the cult's final ritual. We trace the origins of Heaven's Gate, led by Marshall Applewhite, the apocalyptic beliefs tied to the Hale-Bopp comet, and the eerie details of that last night—right down to the poisoned applesauce.
