True to Size

53 | Would You Rather ft. @DanteZucc

This week saw some controversial news stories break from two of the biggest names in the sneaker world. The crew was also lucky enough to be joined by loyal listener and friend of the show, Dante Zucc, who gives us a rundown of what got him started in the sneaker game. We also play a fun round of 21 Guestions, and see the return of the Sole Poll. We finish off the episode with a sneaker-inspired game of 'Would You Rather', which spurs some heated debates among the squad.

52 | Sneaker Jenga

On Episode 52 of True to Size, Goon Alvin returns after a sneaker resale shop partners with a brand better known for polos and khakis to open a consignment store on Broadway.  We also introduce a new weekly segment that will give the listeners a mini-break from all this excessive sneaker talk. To round out this week’s episode, we’re talking stacks - and not like the International House of Pancakes. We discuss how we’ve organized and stored our personal collections, why some pairs are banished to stay by the front door for all of eternity, and which pairs are destined to wind up at the bottom of a stack.

51 | More Air

It seems like we just got past the madness that was NBA All-Star weekend, and now we're straight into a busy March full of Air Max. The team discusses what we're hoping to see from the Swoosh as they ring in one of the biggest 'Sneakerhead Holidays' of the year. We also reminisce about a few of our favourite Air Max Month memories, and recap [arguably] the most important release in Toronto footwear history!

50 | "50"

Mama we made it! This week we celebrated a huge milestone - FIFTY EPISODES! To shake things up, we reached out to the listeners for topic ideas and suggestions for almost every segment on the show; because without all of you, we wouldn't have made it this far. We covered everything from Zion to a breakdown of sneaker component terminology and everything in between. Thank you once again to everyone who has rocked with us for 50 episodes, and here's looking forward to 50 more - and beyond.

49 | Who Knows What’s Up?

In celebration of NBA All Star 2019, the team chooses their favourite pairs releasing in Charlotte this weekend, as a bonus addition to This Week in Kicks. We also discuss a questionable investment from one of the biggest sneaker retailers in the world, and recap the list of the best selling sneakers in 2018. We round out the episode with a very thought-provoking discussion surrounding sneaker culture as a whole. How it has changed, what we think is missing, and what we think needs to happen to keep the culture moving forward.

48 | The Assurance of Insurance ft. Keith Tacorda

On this week’s episode of True to Size we cover a new contender in the race for auto-lacing supremacy, talk about a new Justin Timberlake AJ3 that we hope doesn’t remain a 1 of 1, and get into wether or not some shoes should ever be re-released. Then we hear from our guest, @MisterKT, aka Keith Tacorda, who tells us a gut-wrenching story about the loss of nearly 25% of his sneaker collection. If your kicks aren't insured, this episode may change your mind.

47 | Tacky Sneakers and Dark Denim ft. Sneaker Closet

On this week's episode the team discusses wether or not we think we’re cut out to join a “Sneaker Intelligence Unit.” We also introduce another new segment to the podcast that gets you, the listeners, more involved than ever! Last but not least we get very down and very dirty with our extremely special guest, Adam Taylor - better known as Sneaker Closet. We learn the ins and outs of the ‘game’ of Instagram, and learn more about the dude behind all those bright and tacky Air Maxes.

46 | Very Near VNDS

Another week, and more Swoosh vs Three Stripes feuding - this time with Adidas throwing an uppercut at Nike's newest technology. The boys also dig in to a few juicy rumours surrounding a pair of über hype releases, and we give a step-by-step guide on how to clean and protect your sneakers. We round out the show covering everything there is to know about condition. What is the appeal of a 'deadstock' sneaker, and why are they so sought after nowadays?

45 | Sneakerheading For Dummies

This week the team got down and dirty about a brand new technology that is sure to flip the basketball world on its head. Then we got super trendy and did the #10YearChallenge - sneaker style - and went back a decade to reflect on what's changed in the last decade. Finally we wrote our own how-to list on some essential sneakerhead fundamentals - our own For Dummies" book, if you will.

44 | Previously in Kicks

Because on last week’s episode, we were pre-occupied with our awards show; this episode we run a recap! We take a look back at our 2018 pickups, stories and wish-we-hads. After that we look forward to 2019.  More collabs? Break out brands? What we expect and predict for the year. Year of Jordan 4s, anyone?

So thankful for everyone who tuned in for 2018! Time to see what 2019 has in store for us.
