We're baaaaaaack! After a nice relaxing holiday break, we're back and ready to start the new year off with a bang! But first and most importantly, Joel got himself a shiny new microphone and the echo has returned - so all is right in the world. After the excitement of that wears off, the boys get down to business with our regular run of show, with a brand new segment sprinkled in to start the new year! Of course, since it's our first episode back from the holidays, we get to select the winners for our CGSto2023 raffle giveaway! With another outstanding turnout once again, we want to thank everyone one last time for the continued support - in December and beyond!

This is one of our last episodes of the year so we had to hit y'all with our annual "Top 5 Pickups of the Year" lists. Before we get into that, we make an exception to two rules and answer two Fire Round questions and Lawrence lets someone else do the honours in the CGS Picks. We also get into the spirit with a fütbol-inspired convo during NSR. To close it out, we all break down and discuss our top 5 favourite pickups of the year - with lots of variety and some tough choices being made.

After a lil hiatus due to life occurring, the gang has returned; and we are sans guest for the first time in a while! Everyone has a handful of pick-ups to cover, and we're all in the thick of some pretty hefty Christmas shopping. This week the boys discuss how our mindset has changed from wanting all the shoes, to being more selective, and downsizing to a more manageable number. Maybe we're getting old?

Nice Kicks is paying for this episode, they just don't know it yet. This week on the podcast we're joined by another superstar guest; the Editor and Chief at Nice Kicks - Luis Torres. OVO Luis joins us from sunny Phoenix, Arizona and chats with us about some recent Kyrie x Nike drama, talks us through some recent pickups, and helps lead a very brief debate on Her Loss. After the fluff, we get right down to it with Luis as he runs through 21 Guestions, gives us his sneaker background story, and pulls back the curtain on the biggest sneaker news website in the world. What goes into being first when breaking the latest news, how he balances speed with accuracy, and he tells us when we can expect the cheque from Nice Kicks.

Three weeks in a row with a guest; and we've had an all star line-up these last few episodes! This week we're joined by the ever-humble Mae; who has one of the most diverse and full collections out there! Mae joins us as we chat about the recent Kanye and adidas split; are we surprised, will they release non-Yeezy Yeezys, and more importantly - should they? After that, Mae tries her shot at 21 Guestions before filling us in on her sneakerhead journey, how she prioritizes new vs. old releases, and where her passion for photography stems from.

Back to back weeks, and back to back guests - legendary guests, at that. This week we are joined by friend of the show and one of the people who really helped catapult Canada Got Sole to what it is now - Curtis Diggins. Curtis was at the helm of Nike Sportswear in Toronto (and Chicago and Dallas) when the Air Max line was making its resurgence back into the limelight. We chat with our boy about some of his proudest moments working at the brand, get him to spill the beans on some fun stories, and hear a behind the scenes look at what goes into marketing and events for the sneaker worlds premiere brand.

Well well well, look who decided to record a podcast. They boys are back, and although we were down a man this week, we picked up a free agent who did a great job subbing in. We were joined by longtime friend of the show and Toronto food connoisseur, Carlos Ortiz, aka Los. After getting through some catch-up chats, we jump right into things with Los, who was one of the founding staff of Livestock Toronto, and has worked in the sneaker and streetwear industry in the city for more than 15 years. We get his view on how the local game has changed, and also hear about his life as a brand rep and salesperson for some very familiar companies.

After a week off, the Quaranteam is back at it again as we hit the pod remotely. It was a week of big firsts for the Canada Got Sole families; which inspired this week's fire round question. We moved into some more Kanye x adidas news that gets Alvin feeling some type of way. After that we look back at the summer season that was, and look forward to our favourite season of all, fall.

Two weeks in a row we've been able to record the podcast in person, as a team - and we're loving it! On the day of recording, it was Mamba Day, so of course we have to sprinkle in a little bit of Kobe discussion throughout the episode. We also cover Nike's decision to change their resale platform partner of choice, and have a heated discussion about living arrangements. To close things out, we put on our salesperson hats, and give our best sales pitches for some classic... and not-so-classic... sneakers.

Not only are we back after a week off, but the sound quality is back with an absolute vengeance this week; and that's because for the first time in over two years, we are back and in person as a group! To mark the occasion we talk about some things we're glad to have back, and as well some things we wish never came back. We then move on to discuss the very cool but somewhat controversial story that comes with this year's rendition of the Chicago Air Jordan 1, before hitting on our final topic - sneaker blind boxes.
