Amazing podcast. I’ve been rocking with My First Kicks since day one, and it never gets old. The nostalgia of hearing how everyone got their first pair of kicks is something every sneakerhead can appreciate. Hass keeps every episode feeling like you’re just chopping it up with friends while still bringing out great stories from every guest. Definitely one of the podcasts I look forward to every week. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Watching the work you’ve put in to make space for people to share their stories—whether it’s sneakers, music, or fashion, has been dope to see. Everyone comes in with a unique journey and there’s something here for all of us. Appreciate a platform that reminds us why our first kicks matter
