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

The X Chromes have once again left the Y Chromes unsupervised, and CannCon fills in for a no-show to join the crew for a session that opens with a genuinely unhinged detour into frat-house medical trivia before anyone finds their footing. CannCon then shares the tragic saga of his $230 sneakers, popped on a gravel shortcut to the movies, which spirals into a running bit about whether federal agencies offer a sneaker stipend. 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. There is also golf, a hot take on ruining soccer with halftime shows, and the usual cross-table roasting where Cam allegedly never brings the receipts. Locker room energy with real sports analysis underneath.

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. With special guests: D'Wayne Edwards, President, PLC Detroit and and Sean Williams, Co-Founder, SOLEcial Studies Hosted by: Matt Priest, President, FDRA

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.

In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Nicolas Malonga shares how he turned sneaker reselling from a college side hustle into Sniperkicks — a full-fledged business.

Muhammad Ali's Grandson Nico Ali Walsh Fights to Protect the Ali Act. Sole Free with Harlan FriedmanNico Ali Walsh joins Harlan Friedman on Sole Free from the rooftop of Spring Studios during the 2026 Tribeca Festival for a powerful conversation about boxing, legacy, justice and what it truly means to carry the Ali name.The grandson of Muhammad Ali opens up about growing up with “The Greatest” as the only grandfather he ever knew, why his proudest fight may be happening outside the ring, and why he refuses to stay silent as the future of the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act becomes a major issue in combat sports.Nico speaks candidly about fighter rights, Zuffa Boxing, Dana White, the UFC model, his testimony in Washington, D.C., and why he believes boxing must remain a sport where fighters are protected from exploitation.He also reflects on the remarkable parallels between his own journey and his grandfather's — more than 50 years after Muhammad Ali stood before the government over injustice, Nico now finds himself speaking before that same government in defense of fighters' rights.Plus, the conversation takes some unexpected turns:

Seth and Luke look at the age of QBs who have won Super Bowls and assess if CJ Stroud is simply just too young right now, discuss the idea of teams paying for the chance to see if the QB they took is the right guy, and Luke tries to take down the idea of wearing suits with sneakers.

Welcome back to another episode of Private Conversations! This week on Private Conversations, we're breaking down the biggest upcoming sneaker releases and why Nike may be losing its grip on the sneaker industry.

Today we talkin' Books! CLASS Bookstore has become one of Houston's most important spaces for conversation, curiosity, and community. 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!

Pre-orders galore. The Air Jordan 3 "Knicks" pre-order marks a new milestone in what we believe is a game changer for the future sneaker releases. This episode of the SoleSavy Podcast is presented by Foot Locker. 

The Jaffa take the battle to the Ori this week in Counterstrike.  We get back into discussing interior design (which Ori is responsible for their ships?) and wondering if the SGC actually has a seamstress on staff. If they do, we want to see that series. There is a lot that happens in this episode, and the arrogance of the Jaffa and what they're doing is rather frustrating. We do appreciate the development of Daniel and Vala's relationship. And, actually, everyone's relationship to her. It's nice to see most of the antagonism starting to drop. Vala and Adria's relationship is really interesting, too. Vala trying to treat her like she's still a small child is a fun dynamic to see play out. We also go off on brief movie tangents about The Wedding Singer and Sneakers. And since there are no listener emails, we get into Gateworld's System Lord Tier Ranking. Who would your top goa'uld be?

Hip-hop royalty pulled up to Tribeca.Sole Free's Harlan Friedman hit the red carpet for the world premiere of “Trinity: The Story of The LOX,” the powerful new documentary from Mass Appeal celebrating the legendary journey of Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch.In this exclusive red carpet special, hear from:

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. The art is the point.Find Jared on all socials at @JaredAMoody and check out Sneaker Politics at all their locations, including Dallas.New episodes of the Sneaker History Podcast drop almost every Monday.

In this episode of Private Conversations, we discuss the current state of sneaker culture, why runners might be losing momentum, the rise of the boot wave, and what sneakers are actually worth paying attention to right now. We also dive into Drake's recent music run, rumors of another album, subliminal shots, OVO's evolution, and whether some of his projects are being overlooked. 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.

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.

Today we talkin' Politics! Twenty years ago, Sneaker Politics opened its first doors with a vision that was bigger than sneakers. Today, that vision has grown into a cultural institution built on community, relationships, and a commitment to always being on tour.For this special episode of Thoughts For The Sole, I sit down with Sneaker Politics founder Derek Curry inside the new Houston location ahead of its official opening.As Sneaker Politics celebrates 20 years, Derek reflects on the journey from a single store in Louisiana to a brand that has helped shape sneaker culture in the south and nationwide. We discuss the early days, the risks, the setbacks, the partnerships, and the lessons learned from building something that has stood the test of time.More importantly, we talk about what 20 years of Sneaker Politics means now.This is a conversation about vision, perseverance, community, leadership, and legacy.Twenty years later, the mission is still the mission.#sneakerpolitics #podcast #houstonThank you for taking the time out to tune into today's show.

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.

Everyone has to start somewhere! This week, Shua and Jay celebrate some of the biggest movie firsts in Hollywood history with a game all about debut films, first appearances, and famous cinematic beginnings. From legendary actors' first movies to surprising co-star debuts, the guys test each other's movie knowledge   News Apple TV+ officially announced the premier date of Season 4 of Ted Lasso, featuring the return of Jason Sudeikis and many fan favorite cast members, with Ted now coaching a women's football team.   Operation: Iron Coffin is bringing a wild new twist to Dracula mythology by dropping the famous vampire into World War II against a N*** vampire plague. Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay revisited the 1992 tech thriller Sneakers and appreciated how cleverly the film handles early computer security and espionage themes. He especially enjoyed the strong ensemble cast and the nostalgic look at pre-internet-era technology fears. Shua had a blast with The Mandalorian and Grogu and encourages everyone to simply enjoy the ride instead of overanalyzing every detail. For him, the movie captured the fun adventure spirit that makes Star Wars exciting in the first place.   Enjoy the Firsts!  June means summertime movies are officially here, and Shua and Jay kick things off by celebrating cinematic "firsts" with one of the most overly complicated game introductions in Enjoy Stuff history. From debut performances to first team-ups and breakout roles, the guys dive deep into movie trivia while keeping things light, silly, and packed with classic film knowledge.   Across three increasingly challenging rounds, Jay and Shua test each other on famous actors' first films, the first time iconic co-stars appeared together, and which stars made their debut in memorable movies. Along the way they share laughs, surprising trivia, and plenty of appreciation for the strange and wonderful beginnings of Hollywood careers.   How did you do? Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "That's a First" will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.
