Social media sensation and sneaker reseller Michael Malekzadeh helmed Zadeh Kicks, an online company that netted $6 million a month. He was at the top of his game until the U.S. Department of Justice accused Malekzadeh of running a Ponzi scheme. The unregulated sneaker reselling market is projected to reach $30 billion in sales by 2030 and everyone from common criminals, to Nike executives, to Michael Jordan's own son have tried to secure their part of the bag.

One week off seemed to have been a good omen, because it left us with some massive news topics to discuss this week! We kicked it off talking about Kanye and his apparent disapproval of adidas' Yeezy Day; and leaves us with the question, will Ye ever make the jump from The Three Stripes? After that we have an update on the Zadeh Kicks saga that makes the story more and more fitting for a Netflix doc adaptation. Finally, we got some news from the Nike x Kobe world; but as has happened with most other things from that corner of the sneaker space - it hasn't come without some controversy. @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

Elsewhere, the trio reacts to the latest in the Zadeh Kicks sneaker reselling saga. Also, Welty influences Rihanna's sneakers, Joe has some more dyed pairs coming up, and Brendan goes golfing.Looking for the Complex Sneakers Podcast Dad Hats?

Love the #wilson ball at @broncos training camp. @nfl preseason football tonight @jaguars vs @raiders @btmcgraw is ready for it! #aaronrodgers not sure why we need to know about your self love and natural remedies you're taking but the @packers fans just want to see wins. #brittneygriner sentenced to 9.years in #russia today. I'm not surprised. Now get her home Mr. President. @makiaris @padres #juansoto debut went well & #brandondrury hit #grandslam on first pitch he saw but #nickmartinez wanted a boat for #22 and they settled on a watch. He needs to work on his negotiation skills. @nyliberty came back from 20 at half and beat @la_sparks two days in a row behind 20 by #sabrinaionescu and are in the @wnba playoff hunt. #paigebueckers get well soon. @uconnwbb will miss you this season. #zadehkicks made a lot of money off #sneakers by not sending them to people. People suck.
In this episode @isellsneakersnotdreams & @tosneakerheads start a conversation about Yeezy Day being unapproved by Ye', Zadeh Kicks update, a pre-up enlightenment moment, The Monkey Pox outbreak, and MORE...

For the main topic I give an update on Zadeh Kicks and some analysis on why it was a Ponzi scheme (allegedly), why it collapsed, the effect it's had on resell, winners and losers, and finally some cold hard lessons learned from all this.
