Sneaker History Podcast - Sneakers, Sneaker Culture and the Business of Footwear
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.

Sneaker History Podcast - Sneakers, Sneaker Culture and the Business of Footwear
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.

pWotD Episode 3334: Daveigh Chase Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 728,789 views on Thursday, 18 June 2026 our article of the day is Daveigh Chase.Daveigh Elizabeth Chase ( də-VAY; née Chase-Schwallier; July 24, 1990 – June 16, 2026) was an American actress. She first came to prominence as a child actress, portraying Samantha Darko in the film Donnie Darko (2001) and voicing the characters of Chihiro Ogino in the English dub of the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away (2001) and Lilo Pelekai in the Walt Disney Animation Studios animated feature film Lilo & Stitch (2002). For her performance in the latter, she won an Annie Award in 2003, and she continued to voice Lilo in its subsequent media franchise.In 2002, Chase achieved wider international recognition for her portrayal of the vengeful child antagonist Samara Morgan in the blockbuster horror film The Ring. Her performance earned her the MTV Movie Award for Best Villain at the 2003 ceremony. Chase transitioned to adult roles with her supporting part in the HBO drama series Big Love (2006–2011), in which she portrayed Rhonda Volmer, a manipulative and sociopathic teenager raised within a fundamentalist polygamist compound. She later reprised her role as Samantha Darko in S. Darko (2009), a sequel to Donnie Darko, and appeared in various independent movies, concluding her acting career with the 2016 films Jack Goes Home and American Romance. After her retirement from acting, Chase experienced several heavily publicized personal and legal difficulties, which coincided with a prolonged withdrawal from the public eye. Following a period of homelessness, she died in June 2026 at 35 years old of septic shock and meningitis complications.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:44 UTC on Friday, 19 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Daveigh Chase on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Salli.
L’IA va-t-elle révolutionner la conception de sites web, ou les promesses dépassent-elles la réalité ? Olivier Sauvage, consultant et stratège du web, invité du live Visionary Marketing du 18 juin 2026, a apporté une réponse nuancée, documentée et parfois à contre-courant des discours dominants. Tour d’horizon des promesses réelles, des limites concrètes et des impacts sur les métiers. Sites Web, l’IA à toutes les étapes mais pas (encore) de miracles Sites Web conçus avec l’IA : Si Olivier Sauvage confirme que l’IA est présente à tous les instants, il pense néanmoins elle n’est cependant pas magique. Image d’Olivier Sauvage réalisée par lui-même sur son générateur d’images (oliviersauvage.com) La première question méritait d’être posée franchement : allons-nous continuer à faire des sites web ? La réponse d’Olivier Sauvage est catégorique : oui, et même davantage qu’avant. Les sites web ne disparaissent pas. Ils changent de rôle. L’IA est aujourd’hui présente à tous les stades de la chaîne de production web : outils de design (Figma intègre l’IA depuis longtemps), outils de prototypage, outils de retouche graphique (Photoshop), outils de test, outils de réflexion et de génération de contenu. On ne peut plus y échapper. La question n’est plus de savoir si l’on va intégrer l’IA, mais comment, à quel moment, et à quelles fins. En trois minutes, Stitch va te sortir des pages web là où il faudrait une journée ou deux pour un UX designer. Très impressionnant. Mais en réalité, ce n’est pas un outil qui a cette compréhension des choses que peut avoir un être humain quand il crée des maquettes. — Olivier Sauvage L’IA est un outil qui ouvre des horizons, explore des pistes qu’on n’aurait pas eu le temps d’explorer, accélère certaines phases de production. Ce n’est pas un substitut au métier. IA pour les sites web : les usages les plus solides aujourd’hui Le prototypage : un vrai gain C’est probablement l’usage le plus solide identifié par Olivier Sauvage. Le prototypage, notamment sur des applications mobiles ou des fonctionnalités complexes, était autrefois laborieux. Aujourd’hui, un outil comme Google Stitch permet de générer en quelques minutes des maquettes multi-supports (desktop, tablette, mobile) d’un niveau de réalisation crédible. L’avantage n’est pas seulement la vitesse : c’est la capacité à tester 4 ou 5 variantes là où l’on n’en produisait qu’une seule. On peut explorer des parcours utilisateurs différents, tester des architectures de navigation, obtenir un premier retour client sur quelque chose de visuellement représentatif, et ce bien avant d’engager un budget de développement. La génération d’arborescences et de tree-testing (test de tri de cartes) Autre usage robuste : la définition d’arborescences et le card sorting (tri de cartes, technique qui consiste à demander aux utilisateurs de classer des contenus pour identifier la structure de navigation la plus intuitive). L’IA fait gagner un temps considérable sur ces tâches de structuration de l’information, à condition d’alimenter l’outil avec des données suffisamment riches et spécifiques. Des personas génériques, sortis de nulle part, n’ont que peu de valeur. Des personas connectés à de vraies données de terrain, c’est une autre affaire. Avec l’IA, la conception des sites web n’a jamais été aussi rapide ni gratifiante, mais les itérations et les tests humains restent nécessaires nous dit Olivier Sauvage.Il ne faut pas rêver aux miracles et les web designers ne seront pas remplacés par Merlin l’enchanteur. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. La production d’interfaces : utile, avec supervision La production et la création d’interfaces bénéficient clairement de l’IA. Générer des composants, des variantes graphiques, des systèmes de design : tout cela est désormais accessible plus rapidement. Mais la supervision humaine reste indispensable pour valider que ce qui est produit correspond à la réalité de l’expérience utilisateur attendue. Ce qui ne fonctionne pas (encore) Simuler un comportement humain : une limite fondamentale Olivier Sauvage est catégorique sur un point : l’IA ne peut pas simuler un comportement utilisateur réel. Des personnages artificiels censés tester un site web à la place d’utilisateurs humains ? Je pense que ça ne marchera vraiment jamais. Il y a trop d’inconnues, trop de paramètres. Une IA se nourrit de ce qui existe. Elle ne sait pas ce qui est bon ou pas bon. Elle définit statistiquement ce qui est majoritaire, ce qui n’est pas un gage suffisant de qualité. — Olivier Sauvage Ce point est crucial : le web regorge d’interfaces médiocres. Une IA entraînée sur ce corpus va reproduire ces médiocrités avec une belle régularité statistique. Les sites 100 % IA : pour quels usages ? La question des sites entièrement générés par IA a été soulevée par un participant au live. Le verdict d’Olivier Sauvage est mesuré. Pour un site vitrine informatif d’une TPE locale, un site e-commerce B2C classique, c’est jouable, à condition d’une vérification humaine minimale. Pour un site B2B avec de la vente complexe, des parcours privés, une expérience riche, des animations : la limite est atteinte rapidement. « Les données nécessaires pour recréer des parcours UX valables sur du B2B complexe n’existent tout simplement pas en quantité suffisante. » Et le contenu ? C’est là que le bât blesse le plus. Le « slop » (contenu IA générique, interchangeable et sans valeur ajoutée) est déjà un problème visible. Générer des milliers d’articles en quelques minutes ne crée pas de valeur. Les moteurs de recherche et les utilisateurs s’en aperçoivent. Ce mouvement a un temps limité. La maintenabilité : le problème qu’on ne voit pas tout de suite J’ai cité un exemple vécu : un site d’association refait en 4 heures avec Claude, fonctionnellement supérieur à l’ancien, design convenable. Mais « le jour où la personne qui a développé ça s’en va, on fait quoi ? Qui va le retoucher ? Où est la base de données ? Quels sont les mots de passe ? » La dette technique invisible est l’un des vrais risques du vibe-coding (développement par description en langage naturel, sans écrire de code ligne par ligne) appliqué à des projets réels. Olivier Sauvage va plus loin en suggérant que les solutions no-code (outils permettant de créer des applications sans programmer, via des interfaces visuelles), moins spectaculaires mais structurellement plus solides, méritent d’être reconsidérées dans ce contexte. Des outils comme Airtable, Bubble ou TimeTonic offrent des garanties de maintenabilité que le code généré par IA ne peut pas toujours assurer. L’agent IA et l’avenir du e-commerce Un échange particulièrement intéressant a porté sur le protocole MCP (Model Context Protocol) et l’IA agentique appliquée au e-commerce. L’hypothèse est la suivante : demain, un agent IA pourra conduire une recherche produit, comparer des offres, poser des questions complémentaires, et passer à la transaction en ne donnant la main à l’utilisateur humain qu’au moment du paiement. Cela existe déjà partiellement : Shopify a adopté MCP, et ChatGPT intègre des fonctions marchandes dans certaines géographies. Ce qui change, c’est le rôle du site web : il reste indispensable, non plus comme destination première de navigation humaine, mais comme source de données structurées pour les agents IA. « Le site web va avoir encore une grande fonction : alimenter les IA par ses contenus. » Et Olivier Sauvage ajoute un point prospectif important : les marchands ont de plus en plus intérêt à produire des contenus spécifiques, propriétaires, qu’on ne peut trouver que sur leur site, et qui constituent une vraie barrière à l’imitation par l’IA générique. Premier signal concret de cette évolution : lors de ce live, j’ai mentionné la réservation d’une session photo dans mon studio par un client dont la recommandation initiale provenait de ChatGPT. Le trafic issu des LLM reste marginal, mais sa qualité est notable. Selon le rapport Adobe Digital Insights d’avril 2026, basé sur plus d’un milliard de visites e-commerce, le trafic provenant des LLMs convertit 42 % mieux que le trafic non-IA chez les retailers américains. Semrush va plus loin et mesure un ratio de 4,4× sur certains segments B2B logiciel, avec des taux de conversion de 15,9 % pour ChatGPT contre 1,76 % pour Google organique. Ces chiffres restent toutefois à nuancer : une étude Amsive portant sur 54 sites (septembre 2025) indique que 41 % des sites de l’échantillon convertissaient moins bien via LLM que via l’organique classique. Le résultat dépend du secteur et de la maturité du site. Impacts sur les métiers du design web Une transformation plus qu’une accélération Olivier Sauvage formule ici une thèse importante : l’IA transforme le métier de designer plus qu’elle ne l’accélère. Les gains de productivité purs ne sont pas aussi évidents qu’annoncés. On fait un prompt, on voit le résultat, on se dit c’est révolutionnaire. Puis en réalité, avant d’arriver à quelque chose de vraiment utilisable, on a fait 50 prompts, ce n’est jamais parfait, il faut mettre les mains dans le cambouis. — Olivier Sauvage La comparaison avec le développement est éclairante. Côté demande globale, les données TalentNeuron montrent que les offres d’emploi pour développeurs de logiciels ont progressé de 22 % entre 2023 et 2024, éclipsées toutefois par une hausse de 148 % sur les profils ingénieurs IA et machine learning. Mais côté marché français, la note de conjoncture de l’INSEE de mars 2026 dresse un tableau plus nuancé : l’emploi des moins de 30 ans dans l’informatique et les services d’information a reculé de 3 % entre 2023 et 2025, avec ‑7,4 % d’emploi des 15‑29 ans sur un an au T4 2025. Les entreprises produisent davantage, mais avec moins de juniors, remplacés en partie par l’IA sur les tâches répétitives. Les seniors, eux, passent plus de temps à corriger, structurer et documenter le code généré automatiquement. Ce n’est pas forcément moins de travail : c’est un travail différent. Une étude METR de juillet 2025 a même mesuré que des développeurs expérimentés étaient en réalité ralentis de 19 % avec Cursor Pro et Claude, alors qu’ils estimaient avoir gagné 20 % de productivité. L’écart entre la perception et la réalité est significatif. Olivier Sauvage : même avec l’IA, pour concevoir des sites web, un mauvais ouvrier aura toujours de mauvais outils. Image réalisée avec Midjourney. Conception de sites web, la valeur reste chez les humains, pas dans l’IA Si n’importe qui peut générer des contenus ou des maquettes avec des prompts basiques, et que tout le monde peut le faire, ça n’a aucune valeur puisqu’il n’y a plus de rareté. — Olivier Sauvage La valeur se déplace, elle ne disparaît pas. Elle se concentre chez ceux qui savent poser les bonnes questions, orienter la machine, valider les résultats, et comprendre ce qu’un utilisateur humain ressent vraiment face à une interface. La métaphore du pont en métal du XIXe siècle, évoquée par Olivier Sauvage, est saisissante : les premiers ingénieurs qui ont travaillé avec ce matériau ont simplement reproduit ce qu’ils savaient faire en bois. Ils ont manqué l’essentiel. Beaucoup font de même avec l’IA aujourd’hui. Ce n’est pas sans rappeler le paradoxe de productivité de Solow, formulé en 1987 : « on voit l’ère informatique partout, sauf dans les statistiques de productivité. » La récente étude du NBER (Working Paper n° 34836, février 2026), conduite auprès de près de 6 000 dirigeants aux États-Unis, au Royaume-Uni, en Allemagne et en Australie, confirme que ce paradoxe se répète avec l’IA générative : neuf entreprises sur dix n’ont constaté aucun impact mesurable de l’IA sur leur emploi ou leur productivité au cours des trois dernières années. L’innovation, seul horizon vraiment nouveau Ce qui change fondamentalement, c’est la capacité à innover : tester des concepts qu’on n’aurait pas osé prototyper faute de temps et de budget, explorer plus de pistes, itérer plus vite. « C’est là qu’il faut aller chercher la valeur de ce métier. » Un mauvais ouvrier aura toujours de mauvais outils La conclusion de cet échange est peut-être celle que les formations et les discours sur « l’IA pour tous » négligent le plus : la qualité de l’utilisation d’un outil dépend de la maîtrise du métier sous-jacent. Ce qui fait la différence, c’est la connaissance du métier, l’intuition, la capacité à orienter la machine et surtout le travail de préparation des processus. Un prompt répété à l’identique à chaque session, c’est réinventer l’eau tiède. Un workflow (flux de travail structuré et documenté) efficace, c’est une vraie pratique professionnelle. Ce n’est pas parce que tu as Claude ou un outil de design IA entre les mains que tu vas faire un super site avec une super UX. Tu y arrives parce que tu as les compétences pour comprendre ce qui se passe, pour tester, pour valider, pour te rendre compte que tes utilisateurs comprennent bien ce que tu as fait. — Olivier Sauvage En conclusion sur la conception de sites web avec l’IA Les sites web ne disparaissent pas. L’IA ne remplace pas le designer UX. Les outils IA offrent des gains réels dans le prototypage, la génération d’interfaces et l’exploration créative. Mais la valeur reste chez les professionnels qui savent s’en servir, et non dans les prompts magiques qui génèrent un site en trois minutes. Comme nous l’observons régulièrement sur Visionary Marketing, la réalité de terrain est toujours plus nuancée que les discours à l’emporte-pièce, en bien comme en mal.

An example of why this podcast is called "Hardly Focused" - a discussion about Faith No More reuniting turns into reminiscing about The Great Mighty Poo from the Nintendo 64 game Conker's Bad Fur Day. Jack and Nate try their best, but staying on-topic remains a regular struggle. Hey, at least Mike Patton and the boys are back together! Also in this installment of Hardly Focused: What does one formally call a podcast with video? Jack once again injures his right hand. The America 250 concert is everything the Great American State Fair isn't. Louis CK has a new Netflix special, and it's going to do just fine. Remembering Daveigh Chase, whom everyone forgot voices Lilo in Lilo and Stitch. That insane video of the bungee jumper in Brazil who wasn't attached to anything.

Looks like we should stay dry today with no rain in the forecast. A bit warmer than yesterday, too. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", so we asked each other hypothetical questions. Brian's question for Jean was: "If you were going to bury a time capsule that won't be opened for 250 years, what would you put in it?" And Jean's question for Brian was: "Do you have any recurring dreams or nightmares that you remember from your youth?" Office Cora joined us just after 8am to talk about what she's up to in the 715 this weekend.

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.While it may come as no surprise, the biggest Marvel news this week is still just as exciting as it is obvious with the revelation that Chris Evans will indeed appear in Secret Wars. While not officially confirmed by Marvel, the news broke via a social media post from March 26, that is just now gaining notice, with the actor himself telling Instagram user @comicconmomsi, "I can tell you that...I start work on the next one in a couple of months, I can tell you that," in a video message. That tracks with the projected August production starting date for Secret Wars we've discussed previously.While rumors and speculation are typically not our forte here, the rumor mill surrounding The Batman II cast warrants some attention. In May, we discussed headlines from sources like Variety and The Wrap that seemingly confirmed Sebastian Stan had been cast as Harvey Dent, as he had long been rumored to be, with Scarlett Johansson and Charles Dance announced as Dent's wife and father, respectively. In hindsight, those headlines resulted from Matt Reeve's social media post where he confirmed and welcomed a number of actors as part of the film but did not actually reveal any roles. In the last week, industry insider Jeff Sneider has suggested that his sources claim that Stan will instead play Victor Zsasz and Brian Tyree Henry is set to portray Harvey. Steven Spielberg has returned to the blockbuster arena for the first time in eight years with Disclosure Day, his UFO sci-fi thriller starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, which opened to approximately $44 million domestically and $93.9 million globally, making it his biggest opening weekend ever for an original film. Meanwhile, Obsession continues its extraordinary run, adding another $19 million in week five for a domestic total of $188.3 million. Spielberg's $115 million production earned strong reviews and a B CinemaScore.Sony has released the trailer for The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin's sequel to The Social Network.

He talks through how Stitch looks at years of P&L history, margin pressure, department-level performance, and real market adoption before deciding where to keep pushing and where to stop.The conversation moves through RTDs, drip bags, steeped coffee, and why some products fail not because they're bad, but because the market infrastructure isn't there yet.Lee and Nawar also discuss why great operators need to study brands outside coffee, how strategy becomes sharper with maturity, and why sequence matters in growth.

This is a practical episode about data, product discipline, and getting honest enough to cut what isn't working so you can back what is.Connect with Nawar Adra and Stitch Coffee here:- https://www.instagram.com/stitch.coffee/ - https://stitch.coffee/- https://www.instagram.com/nawar.adra/- https://www.linkedin.com/in/nawar-adra-12909516a/If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.

Sneaker History Podcast - Sneakers, Sneaker Culture and the Business of Footwear
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. Ganglands, villain shoes, and a Sacramento Kings tangent that gets personal.Subscribe to The Sneaker Newsletter: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.com/SUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallEarly Access, Exclusive Videos, and Content On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistoryIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.comCHECK OUT OUR OTHER SHOWS:For the Formula 1 Fans - Exhaust Notes: https://exhaustnotes.fmFor the Fitted Hat Fans - Crown and Stitch: https://crownandstitch.comFor the Cars & Sneakers Fans - Cars & Kicks: https://carsxkicks.comFor the Creators & Creatives - Outside The Box: https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/outside-the-box-convos-with-creators/id1050172106[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

In this series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward, we're discussing what it takes to expand a coffee business in this economy without pretending the crisis isn't real.In this first conversation, Lee and Nawar unpack why Stitch Coffee didn't respond to pressure by retreating. Instead, Nawar explains how the business used timing, brand clarity, and a deep understanding of consumer behavior to grow while many operators were just trying to survive.The conversation is grounded in real decisions: investing in packaging when others thought it was frivolous, treating retail as a strategic growth lever, and building experiences that make customers feel something tangible when they interact with the brand online or in store.They also explore why the Queen Victoria Building site became such an important turning point for Stitch, what Nawar looks for in high-potential locations, and why the combination of tourists, locals, and business customers matters so much when choosing where to grow.This episode is a practical conversation about brand recognition, retail mix, confidence, and how to move when the market is tight but the opportunity is real.Connect with Nawar Adra and Stitch Coffee here:- https://www.instagram.com/stitch.coffee/ - https://stitch.coffee/- https://www.instagram.com/nawar.adra/- https://www.linkedin.com/in/nawar-adra-12909516a/If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.

On today's episode of the Craft Industry Alliance podcast, we're talking about the first year owning a brick-and-mortar yarn shop with my guest, Sanjani Ramkissoon. Sanjani is the owner of Stitch & Revel, a yarn shop in Livermore, California, a charming wine country town in the Bay Area, about 45 miles east of San Francisco. Born in Fiji and raised in the Bay Area since the age of five, she considers herself an accidental business owner, turning a long-held dream into reality when an unexpected opportunity to purchase inventory from a closing yarn shop led her and her husband to take the leap. They opened Stitch & Revel in September 2025, in a new location with a fresh vision and name. Her vision for the shop was to create an experience, not just a place to buy yarn (though that's important too), but a space where creativity flows and community grows. +++++ Today's episode is sponsored by Stitchcraft Marketing.
