It was a busy week for the team at CGS, but that didn't stop us from bringing you a fire epusode of True to Size this week. On today's episode we are joined by long time homie, Andy, better known as @Certified on Instagram. He joins us as we discuss Jerry Lorenzo's move to Adidas Basketball, cover a crazy recent pick-up, and reveal some very exciting CGS-related news. Then, as we do, Andy runs through 21 Guestions and How Much Izzat before giving us his sneaker backstory during his Solography. After that, Andy drops absolute gems as he breaks down how he started on his way to social media domination, what it's like starting a clothing brand from the ground up, how to organically grow a huge social following, and if he plans on wearing Nike socks with Adidas shoes in 2021.

Happy New Year! We are back after our longest hiatus since we started the podcast, and we missed y'all like crazy! We try to ease into the year with a cool retrospective question about #CGSto2021, followed by some cool news from Nike and Tom Sachs. We then jump right into a discussion about some of our plans for the year ahead; including how many pairs we intend to buy, some releases we're looking forward to, and if we want to set a budget for ourselves. Finally, we get to give away some free stuff as we announce our winners from our #CGSto2021 countdown. We had a record number of donations, participants, and entries, and we can't thank everyone enough for showing unlimited month in the month of December, and 2020 as a whole.

We've arrived at the last show of 2020, as we will be taking a break for the holidays, and returning in early 2021. Since it's our last show of the year, we made sure to bring a banger to your headphones with our boy Brandon Menard of Kuwalla Tee. We get right into things with a discussion about non-sneaker footwear brands, followed by some Three Stripes news, and then an NSR talk about our favourite apps. After that Brandon (or Bernard if you're feeling saucy), gets to play both of our games, tells us his Solography, and gets into the nitty gritty about his role at Kuwalla. We get a behind the scenes look at how the brand got started, what went into their first ever sneaker release, and we close the show with an awesome announcement from Brandon himself.
Thank you so much to all of our listeners for an incredibly amazing year. We love each and every one of you, and hope you have a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season.

It's crazy to think we're already celebrating our 150th episode with you guys, but here we are, and we wanted to mark the occasion with something special. So not only are we joined by long time friend of the show and procurer of things, Tong, aka Netmagnetism, but for the first time ever, we are joined by a live audience via Zoom. Throughout this week's modified podcast, we include listeners from the audience as we run through our favourite segments like the Fire Round, NSR, and Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down. Then, Tong gets to play both of our games, before we all tackle some tough Would You Rather questions. Finally, we interview Tong about his bigges come-ups, biggest shortfalls, what he would recommend to up and coming resellers, and what's next for him in 2021.
Thank to everyone who has supported through our first 150 episodes, and here's to 150 more!

We've had a great run of female sneaker lovers as of late, and we're keeping that vibe going with this week's guest, live from Montreal, Maya, aka Po.tato. Maya jumps into our conversations about what shoes we'd wear in a zombie apocalypse, how we like to eat our potatoes, and what we think of lifestyle editions of signature basketball shoes. We're also very excited to announce that #CGSto2021 kicks off soon, so we give you the rundown of what to expect, and how you can join in. Finally we shine a light on Maya as she runs through our two guest games, followed by some chats about her love for anime, women's exclusive sneakers, and more!

The quaranteam returns as restrictions tighten in Toronto and we do our best to adhere to public health guidelines, but that doesn't stop the good times, and we brought a guest along for the ride. This week we welcome Lisa Laces, who joins us from Halifax, Nova Scotia, as we discuss another crazy piece of memorabilia hitting the auction block, Christmas trees, and barbering in sandals. Then, because it's Lisa's first time with us, she plays our favourite guest games, 21 Guestions and How Much Izzat, before we get to know more about her during her Solography. After that we learn a little bit about what it's like being a sneakerhead in Atlantic Canada, as well as her feelings about how sneaker brands treat their female clientele.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming and another Saturday edition of True to Size. This week we get into it with friend of the shoe and barber extraordinaire, Anthony, aka Tito Tons, as we discuss the offspring of two sneaker boutiques, moving to Mars, and Kobe retros. Then, because it's Anthony's first visit, he gets to play both of your favourite games, 21 Guestions, and How Much Izzat. Then, we learn what got him into sneakers, what got him into barbering, and who the unlucky souls were that had to be his guinea pigs when he first started cutting hair.

We're back, and for the third week in a row, we are joined by the owner of a Canadian sneaker boutique; as Bob Ross would say, "that's a happy little accident." Our homie, Jaron, from Parlor 23 in Toronto, joins us for an episode where we discuss old man tendencies, laces, and *sigh* Warren Lotas, again. Then, Jaron runs through the one-two punch of 21 Guestions and How Much Izzat, before we learn about his Solography. After that, we get the story about how he started his shop, the history of the Parlor merch, and what's with all those baby shoes?
