What happens when a sneaker obsessive spots a gap nobody else is filling? In this episode of Shoe-In Show, Matt Priest sits down with Devonn Vidal, Founder and CEO of Sneakky Klean, to talk about one of the most unexpected and exciting entrepreneurial journeys in footwear today. Starting in Miami in 2019, Devonn built a premium sneaker cleaning and restoration business from the ground up — creating a professional care category that essentially didn't exist at scale. From free pickup and delivery to locations in New York, Zurich, and the brand's first franchise in Canada, Sneakky Klean is proving that what's on your feet deserves the same care you put into buying them. A conversation about sneaker culture, entrepreneurship, and what it means to build a brand around the idea that you should restore over replace. With special guest: Devonn Vidal, Founder and CEO, Sneakky Klean Hosted by: Matt Priest, FDRA

The sneaker industry has a problem and it's the lack of identity in the community. Everyones a hypebeast. Lets discuss!

Jason Mayden walked into Jordan Brand in 2001 as its first design intern. He designed the Air Jordan 2009 and the Jordan CP3.II, left in 2014 to build his own companies, and came back a decade later to run design for the entire brand. This past May he stepped out of that job into one that did not exist until he took it, VP of Jordan Visioneering and LA28 Creative Lead.We talked about the Air Jordan 41, and about almost everything except the spec sheet.He explains what he had to unpack coming back into the building, and lands on the line that frames the whole conversation, that this is a reverential era and not a referential one. He responds to what Leo Chang and Donald Kelsey found on the road this year, six months of research across three continents where not one young athlete asked for the heritage colors. He makes the case that the women's game is where the next real change in basketball footwear comes from, and explains why he studies technical boxing to think about design.He talks about the Air Jordan XX3 and working alongside Mark Smith, Tinker Hatfield, and Tom Foxen when the fight was over solvent free glue. He talks about the crew building the game shoe now, and what it was like to watch them come into their own. He talks about criticism, and why indifference is the only reaction that would bother him.And he tells the story of being seven years old in a hospital bed, fighting a blood infection, imagining himself as Lucius Fox working for Michael Jordan, who he thought was Bruce Wayne. That is where the word visioneering comes from.One line from this conversation has stayed with me since we recorded it. You never really finish an Air Jordan, you just run out of time.Nick Engvall has worked in the sneaker industry for over two decades. He built the original Eastbay Blog during his time at Sole Collector, led the first dedicated sneaker team for Complex, led the first UGC and seeding programs for Finish Line, was employee number 9 at StockX, and was Sr. Director at Stadium Goods.The Sneaker Newsletter: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.comSole Collector: https://www.solecollector.orgSmall Luxuries: Sneakers, out October 2026 from Motorbooks: https://bookshop.org/a/122044/9798317900854SUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallSupport On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistoryIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.com[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Justin Bieber has spent the past few days writing a surprisingly intimate little chapter in his biography, blending domestic calm, fashion hustle, and a touch of awards-season heat. People magazine reports that on August 17 he dropped a fresh Instagram carousel, headlined by a kiss with Hailey at a Los Angeles Dodgers game, the couple seated right behind home plate in full view of MLB cameras. In that same post, he quietly underscored his evolution into family man, sharing a rare cuddle shot with their nearly two year old son Jack Blues while still keeping the childs face hidden, a continuation of the Biebers deliberate privacy line around their child according to outlets like People and Polish site Dzień Dobry TVN. The New York Post's sports desk and MLB's own social feeds add the color that Justin and Hailey turned that Dodgers Brewers matchup into a very public date day, smiling, snacking, and slipping into easy PDA as cameras caught Justin wrapping an arm around his wife. Lifestyle sites including Just Jared and Reality Tea zeroed in on the optics, noting Hailey's sheer white tee and matching Dodgers cap and Justin's relaxed game day fit, framing the outing as another carefully casual but very visible appearance at a moment when fans remain fascinated by the state of their marriage. Meanwhile, Billboard Canada reports that Justin's track Yukon has been nominated for Best R and B at this year's MTV VMAs, a nugget with real long term biographical weight as it extends his awards narrative well into his thirties and shows he remains competitive in a genre he has spent a decade helping to blur and reshape. On the business front, fashion and sneaker press including Hypebeast, Design Scene, and Boardroom say Justin used social media to officially unveil the SKYLRK Sensory Runner, a new sneaker he describes as four years in the making and the next big step in his footwear brand. Details like pricing and release date are still unannounced, but multiple outlets emphasize that the silhouette signals a deepening of his role as designer entrepreneur, not just celebrity collaborator. There are also lower level sightings, like a Pilates run with Hailey in Bel Air reported by fan and gossip pages, but these remain more about routine than revelation. There are no credible reports in the past 24 hours of new music releases, tour announcements, or major personal upheavals; anything suggesting otherwise on fan accounts should be treated as speculation unless and until confirmed by major outlets or Justin's own channels. For now, the story of this week is a settled but very visible family life, a serious push into fashion with SKYLRK, and an awards nod that quietly reinforces his staying power.

We kick things off with the three thangs! Meta just wiped hundreds of thousands of underage accounts in response to Australia's teen social media ban, someone in Illinois is holding a billion-dollar Powerball ticket, and Tooele County residents may have scored a win, for now, pushing back against the future of data centers in the area. Back-to-school season is in full swing and so are shoe prices — we dig into why outfitting your kid's feet has never cost more. A new poll shows higher-income families are far more likely to sign kids up for organized sports, and some parents are making serious sacrifices to make it happen. Listeners chime in on their back-to-school spending. Then — why a growing number of parents are ditching screens and raising their kids like it's 1996.

In part two of this special Shoe-In Show conversation, recorded live at the Library of Congress, Matt Priest continues the discussion with D'Wayne Edwards, President of PLC Detroit, and Sean Williams, Co-Founder of SOLEcial Studies, diving deeper into how younger generations are reshaping their relationship with sneakers. From the shifting balance between comfort and fashion to sneakers as a medium of personal identity, this conversation explores what the next chapter of sneaker culture looks like in America. D'Wayne and Sean also reflect on the power of mentorship and innovation in keeping the sneaker industry connected to the communities that gave it meaning in the first place. A compelling continuation of one of Shoe-In Show's most culturally rich conversations.

If your idea of a productive morning includes hiding whiskey in your shoes, arguing with Oprah, and learning more about kidney stones than any human ever wanted to know, congratulations—you've found today's daily comedy show.The gang kicks things off by reacting to Fireball's newest invention: high-top sneakers with hidden compartments designed to smuggle booze into concerts. Is it brilliant? Is it incredibly stupid? Can both be true? Absolutely. The conversation quickly spirals into stories about sneaking drinks into venues, golf-course bathroom etiquette, and why "shoe whiskey" should never become part of the English language.Then things take an unexpectedly painful turn as Bret Michaels undergoes emergency kidney stone surgery, which leads Moon to share some of the most unforgettable—and honestly horrifying—kidney stone stories ever told on this show. Hospital visits, tour disasters, screaming in public bathrooms... somehow everyone survives, but barely.Celebrity news brings plenty of chaos, too. Tommy Lee reveals one of Motley Crue's most unbelievable drug stories, Bon Jovi struggles through a concert after vocal issues, Korn's Jonathan Davis gets married, Johnny Depp surprises Comic-Con fans, and Jason Alexander makes headlines by apologizing for a decades-old comedy sketch. The crew also debates whether Johnny Depp will always be Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, or something completely different depending on who you ask.Then Oprah enters the conversation with a comment that lights the fuse on one of the episode's biggest discussions. Should young people sacrifice everything to build a career, or should work-life balance begin immediately? Everyone has an opinion, nobody completely agrees, and somehow the debate turns into one of the most thoughtful conversations of the morning without losing the sarcasm that keeps everything fun.Of course, it wouldn't be The Rizzuto Show without plenty of side quests. There are discussions about Olive Garden Pasta Pass failures, Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, celebrity birthdays, awkward David Letterman moments, the Kardashians, concert ticket disasters, and enough random tangents to make your GPS give up entirely.Whether you're here for celebrity gossip, weird news, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, or simply because you enjoy hearing a group of friends derail every conversation imaginable, today's daily comedy show delivers exactly the kind of organized chaos you've come to expect.Thanks for making us part of your day. If you laughed, learned something completely unnecessary, or now have an irrational fear of kidney stones, we'd call that a successful episode.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pat McAfee and Sophie Cunningham came up through the same Midwest city — a punter and a bench player — and became stars by doing one thing: picking a side and being real. 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. In 2026, it's a losing game. In the social media era, authenticity is the only asset that can't be faked. McAfee stood by Aaron Rodgers when it was a fireable offense. Cunningham says what she believes and dares you to argue. So what happens to a can't-miss prospect like Caitlin Clark when she plays it safe? ➢​​Today's Sponsors PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

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. If you've ever wondered whether your passion could become your career, this conversation will inspire you to think bigger, trust your expertise, and build something only you can create. What You'll Learn Why your biggest passion may actually be your greatest competitive advantage How Steve predicted footwear trends decades before they became mainstream What he learned from helping scale billion-dollar brands The importance of finding your unique superpower How storytelling helped Ales Grey stand out What retailers like Walmart look for in emerging brands Why purpose is the key to sustaining long-term success How to build resilience through uncertainty The importance of mastering your craft before launching your own business Why "Don't be the best. Be the only." is Steve's guiding philosophy Connect with Steve Instagram: @sneakersteve @alesgrey Shop Ales Grey at Walmart  Resources + Links: Subscribe to Dreams In Drive wherever you get your podcasts Follow @rainshineluv on Instagram for behind-the-scenes updates Share this episode with a friend who's questioning what's next Sign up for our weekly newsletter www.dreamsindrive.com/join

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

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. Despite years of campaigning by groups like Fashion Revolution, Labour Behind the Label and Clean Clothes Campaign, many of us still have no idea who made our clothes and under what conditions.Did you even know the Philippines is an important garment producer for brands like Lulu Lemon, and until recently, Adidas? In 2023, when a factory in Cebu supplying Adidas closed, 4000 workers lost their jobs. How about the stories of union busting linked to factory in Cambodia that's a major supplier to ASICS? Or the closure of another facility in Vietnam making Nike shoes that left thousands of workers without severance pay?Niki Gamara is CCC's South East Asia Urgent Appeals Co-Ordinator, working with those needing quick support in areas where violations are happening. In this vivid, warm conversation we talk about everything from how the history of colonisation echoes in the present to what I should do with my sneakers now that I know more about what goes in behind the scenes...Find links and further reading at thewardrobecrisis.comSupport the show on Substack - wardrobecrisis.substack.comTell us what you think.

The evolution from leather-soled shoes of the 19th century to the sneakers people wear today started slowly, then built momentum.
