Sneakers used to be one of two things: performance or fashion. Somewhere in the last decade, that line collapsed — and the shoes most of us are reaching for now sit firmly in the middle.I'm joined by Adam and Ryan Goldston, founders of APL and the first members of an athletic company ever inducted into the CFDA, for a conversation on how they ushered in the era of the fashion sneaker. From getting banned by the NBA for their first shoe to landing in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance product in those rooms, Adam and Ryan share how a clear point of view — and a refusal to use logos — built one of the most distinctive sneaker brands in the world.We get into world-building beyond product, why they believe taste is their real superpower and the consumer shift toward quieter, design-led pieces.Shop APL https://www.athleticpropulsionlabs.com/In this episode, we get into:What actually set the stage for the era of the fashion sneakerWhy being inducted into the CFDA in 2016 was a turning point for the entire sneaker industryThe decision to launch in Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, and Saks before anyone else was selling performance in luxury roomsWhy APL refuses to use big, emblazoned logos — and how that built a stronger brandThe rise of the personal brand and why consumers don't want to be walking advertisements anymoreWhat "simple, yet severe" actually means as a design philosophyInside the APL flagship at The Grove and why it feels more like a gallery than a storeWhy building a brand world still requires a physical experience in an increasingly digital ageRalph Lauren as the singular blueprint for world-building — and the moment they found out Ralph himself is an APL fanWhy Adam and Ryan consider taste their real superpower (and how to cultivate it)The relationship between taste, bravery, and confidenceThe Tokyo trip and the souffle pancakes that inspired the ZipLine midsoleWhy texture — both tactile and visual — is the most important element of a perfect sneakerThe rise of the luxury basic and why consumers are investing in staples right nowHow the F1 partnership in 2016 shaped APL's global luxury performance positioningThank you to my partners at Macy's for my newest wardrobe essentials.

Wie het publieke debat een beetje volgt, ziet dat polarisatie vaak de boventoon voert. Mensen met een scherpe mening voeren het hoogste woorden. Iets is OF zwart OF wit, voor grijstinten is vaak geen ruimte of aandacht. Hoe komt het dat nuance en twijfel wordt gezien als zwak en niet als een kans om elkaar beter te begrijpen? Hoe kan Nederland de stap maken van uitroepteken naar vraagteken? Dat wil ik deze week onderzoek in BNR's Big Five van het vraagteken.

Anekdotisch Evident. Kultur und Wissenschaft durchs Prisma der Plauderei

Lange aufbleiben, unbegrenzt Taschengeld und jeden Tag Pizza: Hört man sich unter kleinen Menschen um, ist Erwachsensein ein erstrebenswerter Zustand, der gar nicht schnell genug erreicht werden kann. Doch spätestens, wenn die erste Steuererklärung ansteht, das Geld knapp wird und die Tellerberge bis zur Decke reichen, gerät das „Erwachsenwerden“ zu einer Bedrohung. Dabei gilt längst nicht nur als erwachsen, wer mit Mitte 20 Haus und Familie hat. Vielmehr haben sich die Erwartungen an "den Erwachsenen" in den letzten Jahrzehnten kontinuierlich verschoben. Ist Erwachsenwerden überhaupt noch eine sinnvolle Kategorie, wenn die wirtschaftliche Verhältnisse den Auszug von Zuhause irrational machen und 50-jährige die gleichen Sneaker tragen und Mangas lesen wie 12-jährige? In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Adulting, Infantilisierung, Mündigkeit und die Frage, ob das Ideal der Reife jemals erreicht werden kann.Helft uns dabei, diesen Podcast zu produzierenAnekdotisch evident kostet im Moment mehr, als es über Crowdfunding einbringt – ihr könnt uns dabei helfen, das zu ändern.

Get in touch at matt@mattswain.com or book directly at https://www.triangle-branding.com/book-a-call What if the blueprint for building a multi-million dollar business from scratch was sitting right in front of you? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague speaks with Art Juedes and Rick Gering, co-founders of Eastbay,  about how a chance meeting at a Wisconsin 10K race led to the creation of Eastbay, one of the most influential mail-order athletic retailers in history. Starting with just 108 pairs of running shoes, they built a multi-million-dollar business by focusing relentlessly on direct customer access, operational excellence, and fast adaptation to customer behavior.  The conversation explores how Eastbay survived supplier crises, built loyalty through community rather than marketing, and maintained a 40-year partnership grounded in trust and compromise. It's a masterclass in customer obsession, entrepreneurial resilience, and building enduring competitive advantage without massive capital.  What You Will Learn: How to build a competitive advantage through radical customer focus Why operational excellence becomes your moat when you lack capital The pivot principle: Let your customers redesign your business model:  How to navigate supplier relationships when you're undercapitalized Why trust and compromise are the non-negotiable foundations of long-term partnerships The framework for decision-making under uncertainty   If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. Instructions for doing this are here.   About Guest: Rick Gering and Art Juedes are co-founders of East Bay, the pioneering mail-order athletic footwear retailer that revolutionized direct-to-consumer sports retail. Born two days apart in June 1952 in Warsaw, Wisconsin, these lifelong runners transformed their passion for athletics and customer service into a business empire that grew from a basement operation to a $35+ million enterprise before their 1997 sale to Foot Locker. Their expertise spans supply chain innovation, brand building in competitive markets, and creating loyal communities through exceptional customer experience, lessons forged during the "sneaker wars" of the 1980s and 90s, when they secured exclusive partnerships with Nike, Reebok, and emerging brands like Under Armour.   Quotes: "We were at our wits' end trying to figure out how we would get product, how we would get shoes because we had no money. There were three of us who originally were going to go into it, and I had called Art to maybe be the fourth because he was the one who would have made it work. It was a number of chances all put together, by people who didn't really know what the end game was going to be." - Rick "Our first sale became our second business plan. Once the kids tried the shoes on, they weren't giving them up; they were selling right there. The kids couldn't wait to get the shoes so much that they loved them, so we realized that our idea to take orders and send shoes later was out the door." - Art "There weren't a lot of other distractions, so we really could focus on the athlete and our customer, listen and learn, and figure out what makes what's important to them. In a larger town, there's so much more noise that even the athletes get distracted. The big thing that we did differently than any other retail store is go directly to the kids." - Rick "We decided to go all in on the Nike Air line. If that line didn't sell, we were toast. But it was a great seismic shift for East Bay because Jordan was a seismic shift in the shoe and footwear industry. Before that, everyone looked at athletic footwear as equipment, and after that, athletic footwear became part of your identity." - Art Keywords: Primary Keywords (Core Themes): East Bay running shoes, mail order business, sneaker entrepreneurship, direct-to-athlete business model, small town startup, customer-centric business strategy, athletic footwear industry, Nike Air Jordan partnership, business partnership success, mail order catalog strategy Secondary Keywords (Related Subtopics): inventory management startup, supplier relationships Nike Reebok, business pivots adaptation, catalog marketing strategy, mail order logistics, athletic retail innovation, team sports sales, sneaker culture history, vertical integration business, customer service excellence, competitive advantage small business   Episode Resources: The Book of Eastbay on Amazon World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Apple Podcasts World's Greatest Business Thinkers on Spotify World's Greatest Business Thinkers on YouTube

CEO van mijn Leven | Denzel Aboraa: “Er zit in elke sector goud, als je maar ziet wat anderen niet zien.” | woensdag 03/06/26

In deze aflevering legt Denzel Aboraa uit hoe Cleanz by dr. Abo ontstond. Hij was altijd al bezig met sneakers: hij hield zijn eigen schoenen proper, volgde YouTube-tutorials en leerde zichzelf verschillende reinigingstechnieken. Op een bepaald moment vroeg hij zich af of er in die passie een business zat. Zijn moeder bood haar garage aan als eerste werkplek, en Cleanz startte met schoenen van familie en vrienden. Mond-tot-mondreclame en socials deden de rest. Vandaag krijgt Cleanz tussen veertig en zeventig paar schoenen per week binnen. Mensen kunnen langskomen in Antwerpen, pakketten versturen of gebruik maken van ophaling. Er is al een drop-off point in Hasselt en de ambitie is om dat netwerk in heel België uit te bouwen. Klanten komen zelfs uit Duitsland naar Antwerpen om hun schoenen te laten reinigen, wat voor Denzel bevestigt dat hier een echt gat in de markt zit. Hij biedt intussen ook reiniging aan van tassen, petten en accessoires, en bouwt daarmee verder aan het merk Cleanz. Branding is een bewuste strategie. Voor Denzel is Cleanz niet zomaar een kuisdienst, maar een naam die moet staan voor vertrouwen, snelheid en kwaliteit. Hij investeert in content, cameramensen, drones, special effects en zelfs guerilla-acties — denk aan een grote vlag op de Boerentoren om zijn opening aan te kondigen. Dat kost geld, maar bouwt ook iets op dat verder gaat dan schoenen schoonmaken alleen. Zijn grootste leerschool? Het administratieve werk dat zoveel verder gaat dan waar hij in het begin aan had gedacht. Denzel spreekt open over vooroordelen: zijn omgeving zag de visie niet altijd, vroeg of er wel geld in zat, behandelde het soms alsof het een bijverdienste was. Maar hij zag het potentieel vanaf dag één en gelooft dat duurzaamheid een sterke extra laag aan zijn verhaal geeft: schoenen krijgen een tweede leven in plaats van weggegooid te worden. Zijn droom is klaar: Cleanz als vertrouwd merk in heel België, financiële vrijheid om tijd door te brengen met familie en te helpen wie hij wil helpen. CEO van je leven zijn begint voor hem bij discipline — aan jezelf werken, goed eten en drinken, sporten en je goed voelen in je eigen vel.

Shaquille O’Neal donated roughly 2,400 pairs of sneakers to students at Bullard High School in Fresno, creating a memorable surprise that met a real need for many families. Through a personal connection with a local teacher, the NBA legend turned generosity into impact—helping students stay active, confident, and supported both in and out of the classroom. Americans are increasingly pushing back against stubbornly high prices, prompting major retailers and brands to respond with more affordable options like value meals, smaller package sizes, and strategic discounts. This shift highlights a turning point in consumer behavior, as price-conscious shoppers force companies to compete harder on value and rethink how they price everyday goods in an inflation-weary economy.

Every men's Nike basketball shoe right now has some DNA from the Kobe 4, 5, or 6. Nick, Mike, and Rohit ask whether that's a problem, and whether the women's game has already figured out the answer. They cover Asia Wilson's signature, the Sabrina as a tasteful homage, Edwards making the Believe That One the most talked-about takedown model in recent memory, and a four-team sneaker identity breakdown to close the playoffs.

Part 2 of a 2 Part SeriesFrom the hype-filled streets of sneaker culture comes one of the most bizarre true stories of the year: the rise and explosive fall of Ricky Foster, the man at the center of the viral documentary series The Devil Wears Dunks. Ricky Foster, a Denham Springs, Louisiana local, burst onto the scene as a supposed high-rolling investor and rare Nike collector.He dazzled sneaker stores, collectors, and enthusiasts with tales of private jets, luxury homes, multi-million-dollar deals, and insider access to ultra-rare Dunks and Nike samples. It all sounded too good to be true… because it was. What started as a routine sneaker transaction quickly unraveled into a web of lies, manipulation, broken families, and shattered trust.In this episode, Jim Chapman dives into the "Dads of Denham" group Ricky co-founded as well as a botched deal to buy a local restaurant and investigations into charity funds that never made it to their destination. Timestamps12:23 The Rise of “Dads of Denham”14:44 Ricky's Restaurant Ambitions Go South17:50 Charity Scandals Uncovered35:56 Arrests and AllegationsFor commercial free early releases, bonus episodes and more! https://www.patreon.com/exposedpodcastfilesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/exposed-scandalous-files-of-the-elite--6073723/support.
