It's actually episode 163, we know, get over it. We've got a fantastic show for you guys this week. We took a break from having guests, but we're back to it, with none other than the homie from Shoo Box! On this week's 'sode we chop it up about going halfsies on sneakers with friends, Nike being in some hot water, and what our favourite board games are. Because we've go a guest, you know we play 21 Guestions, and also let How Much Izzat!?!?! make a return. We close it out learning a little more about the man behind Shoo Box, why he started the brand, and what the future may hold.

Yo yo yo yo yooooo - we've got a great show for you guys this week. We were without Alvin for the episode, so we thought it would only be fitting that we bring in the rest of the Traphik Boyz crew to take his place; so none other than Kalby and Chris Chiu joined the party. We jump right into some deep discussion as we talk about the Travis Scott hype meeting the Jordan 1 Mid hype, and follow it up breaking down the Lil Nas X shoe that pissed a bunch of people off. After that we have another week with more hip hop talk, before we jump into something we know very little about - NFTs. We wonder if there's a place in the sneaker world for the digital currency, and if there is, what that might look like.

This week we slow things down and reset ourselves a little bit with friend of the show, and not a guest, Phil Dos Santos, aka Sole Purpose. We've been flying high with guests as of late, so we wanted to take the time to have a fun conversation with just us. Fittingly, we start the show with a very 21 Guestions-esque Fire Round question, followed by literally no news to report. After that we have a lengthy NSR convo about meaningful song lyrics, and a brief love-fest with some of our favourite artists. After all that, in true March form, we have some serious Air Max talks; including if we celebrate Air Max month, week, or day - along with what shoes we plan(ned) on wearing to ring in the occasion on 03.26. Finally, the crew breaks down what makes someone a "sneakerhead", and we give our opinion on the meaning of the term overall.

Let's do this! We're back and yet again we brought out some amazing homegrown talent to chop it up with us. This week we're accompanied by the one and only Judyna Pres, aka Ju Berry, who joins us to chat about vintage sneaker commercials, OG's vs. sequels, and early 2000's skate shoes. Then, as we do, we get to know her a little more during 21 Guestions before diving deep into her passion for art and design. She reveals how she found her style, breaks down what goes into a "good looking" shoe, and makes sure to spend a lengthy amount of time talking about the custom rug she tufted herself.

We're back at it with a great episode featuring friend of the show and St. Louis' finest, DNA Mac. We fly through our typical segments that includes chatter about the Nike VP and her son (again), see-through sneakers and talking animals. Then we run through 21 Guestions and Mac's Solography before going off on a side-tangent about the crossroads we face when a nice sneaker happens to be a collaboration with a brand we don't care about - where do you draw the line when it comes to price? To close out the 'sode we get super deep with Mac discussing mental health and addiction; and we talk about sneaker friends being more than just sneaker friends.

After a round of sickness made its way through the CGS Squad's immune systems, we are finally ready to make our triumphant return, and we've got a great show to get it restarted. We are joined by self-proclaimed sneaker boomer, pal of the show, and all around good guy, Mitchell Martin - better known as SB Mitch on Youtube. We start the show by running through the potential news story of the year; the Nike exec and her reseller son, followed by a heated discussion about how we cut (or don't cut) our sandwiches. Then Mitch runs through 21 Guestions with an impressive show of mathematics before breaking down what got him started in sneakers. Finally we get his story on why he's so heavily into "beater boxes", what got him started on Youtube, and how he feels about the recent dunk hype.

Oi bruv we've got a good one for you lot this week innit. We're joined by good friend of the show from jolly old England, Moe, aka @MerkleMoeMan_. Moe stayed up past his bed time to record with us, so we made sure to make it count, starting with a football-related question (like real football) in the fire round, followed by news of a very expensive sneaker going up for sale. Then we struggle to come up with titles for the books about our lives, before getting right into it with Moe's round of 21 Guestions. After that pur guest gives us the rundown of what it's like collecting sneakers in the UK, how he got started in photography, why he decided to start his own podcast, and names three places that are certainly not provinces in Canada.

The guest train is still chugging along and this week we're joined by long time friend of the show and avid pickup truck lifter - Eli Falls, aka Fallsy30. This week we decide which pair of Air Maxes we'd vote to receive a re-release if Nike revamped their Vote Back program, we cover a brand new sneaker tech that will change people's lives, and then we take our allotted time to talk about food during NSR. Eli hails from a small city in Western Canada; so we take the opportunity to chat with him about what it's like being a sneaker collector when there's not a lot going on in the place that you live. Our guest is also an extremely talented sneaker customizer, so you know we have to chat about where that passion came from, where he wants to see it go, and what some of his favourite pairs have been.

Anyone else still reminisce about the Toronto Raptors' title run in 2019 or is that just us? Either way, we've got a banger of an episode for you guys this week, as we are joined by friend of the show and big shot (pun intended) photographer, Nelson Campana, aka Nelcam. Before we get into it with Nelson, we talk about our sneakers crumbling, Nike filing a massive lawsuit, and our favourite television gameshows. Then, Nelcam tries his hand at 21 Guestions before breaking down his story during his Solography. Then, Nelson lets us know all about his work with MLSE, including being able to cover the entirety of the Raptor's playoff run, what it was like begin on the court after they won, and what went down in the locker room that he will never forget.

Howdy y'all and welcome to another rootin' tootin' episode of True to Size. This week we're joined by our Texas homie and vintage savant, Josh Ramos, aka Wu Tang Shang. With Josh on the squad, we talk about our most sentimental sneakers, before discussing the second coming of Nike's 'Vote Back' program. Then, Josh wins at 21 Guestions and How Much Izzat, before giving us some of his backstory during his Soleography. To close it out, we learn a little more about what it's like being a sneakerhead in on of America's largest states, what he thinks of the Canadian sneaker community, and where he prefers to buy his sushi.
