- Oh so close
When I found this podcast I thought "huzzah! a hisotry of sneakers!!" Interviews with Stan Smith and Steve Van Doren episodes were interesting but lacking.
I wanted a straight history, no filler, no jive. A " the Rest is History for Sneakers" would be great but this ain't it.

It’s great to get some content on trainers/sneakers that people in the UK can relate to. The lads before this are the real deal, and it shoes through the passion in their voices.

Apple Podcasts5B1873United Kingdom6 years ago - 80’s casuals
Great podcast guys. Can you do an episode about the casuals scene? I’m sure
Many of your listeners were young teenagers in the early 80s and remember this period fondly. I was lucky enough to have had Diadora Borg Elite, Adidas SL82 and Forest Hills 82, Nike Wimbledon at the time - wish I still had them now. There were so many great trainers around at the time.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
