We're back and we brought a friend with us this week; our homie Nathan, the owner and founder of east coast sneaker boutique, Courtside Sneakers. With Nate's help, we run through our weekly segments while simultaneously letting our guest air our his sneaker retail-related grievances. This week's episode also marks the return of "How Much Izzat", as we test Nate's resale knowledge before learning about his life in sneakers. Finally he gives us a rundown on what it's like running a sneaker boutique, what sorts of challenges he faces, and what it's really like having a Nike retail account.

We're back together once again, and it couldn't have come at a better time because this week we are joined by two of our favourite ladies, Abby Albino and Shelby Weaver; the masterminds behind Toronto's newest sneaker boutique, Makeway. We fly through our weekly segments before an interesting round of 21 Guestions, followed by a brief history of how these two got into sneakers in the first place. Then, we learn about the inspiration behind Makeway, where the name originated from, and what they hope to see come of their newest endeavour. These two superstars are leaders in the community, and we are so excited to see them win; and we hope you have as much fun listening as we did recording.

Another week of the quaran-team, as the boys stay safe while Alvin recovers from some coughs and sniffles. We kick the show off with a three-peat from our current Fire Round champion, and follow it up with the announcement of Toronto's first ever sneaker boutique created for women, by women. Then we get nostalgic in NSR, and read some of our favourite EEE messages ever. The LA Lakers and LeBron James won this year's NBA title, and we have admittedly not been the biggest fans of King James, but we know how to pay respect where it's due. Inspired by this, we close the episode by showing some respect, and finding something nice to say about some sneakers that may have gotten a bad wrap on True to Size in the past.

It gets dark at 5:00PM now, so it really feels like every episode is a True to Size After Dark episode. We get it started with a Fire Round question about sneaker photography, keep it going with some news about a ridiculously-priced pair of dunks, and get back into some Warren Lotas talk after a listener's EEE. The weather is getting colder and the leaves are changing, so we close the show by talking about some of the changes we've seen in our sneaker lives. What changes have we seen in our buying habits, what we wear, how we use social media, and what would we like to change in the future?

Do you know what it is, because we sure don't. We're riding solo this week as we discuss our sneaker year in review (so far) going into the fourth quarter of 2020, followed by a brief homage to a lost icon in the sneaker, streetwear, and skateboarding community. After that, we get in the fall spirit by choosing our favourite kind of pies, and give our opinion on the custom-aged treatment trend that's running rampant in the sneaker world right now. Finally, we air our grievances about the new Warren Lotus "Dunks?", and try to figure out why our boy Jeff Staple attached his name to this kind of project.

A familiar voice returns after a long hiatus as Philly aka Sole Purpose joins us on this week's episode. After getting off on to a very Phil-like start, we cover new of a big-name sneaker retailer encouraging people to go out and vote, and then we hit a double-header in Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down. After that we cover a bunch off EEE's that were mostly directed towards Alvin, and we test Phil's resale knowledge with a round of "How Much Izzat?!" Finally, we get into a mini discussion about collaborations; and wonder what a Nike x Adidas project might look like.

We're running the episode on our ones this week, but we have just as many laughs and good talks as ever. We start with revealing how we curate our sneaker collections, and after that we draft our starting five (actually only two) of holiday theming on sneakers. Then, after the name of Zion Williamson's debut signature sneaker with Jordan Brand was revealed, we take a stab at some potential names for the rest of the Jumpman's NBA player roster. We close the episode with an NSR version of Family Feud, followed by a discussion about sneakers that changed the game.

After a week off for some family time at the cottage, the boys are back together for another great episode, featuring friend of the show, Mike D. We start by discussing our significant other's shoe games, before covering a very full recap of recent pickups. Then, Mike D gets to play our new game, How Much Izzat, before we deep dive into some Canadian content. We talk Canadian sneaker collabs, wether we think the Canadian sneaker bubble is at risk of popping, and we go very in depth on the closing of the Jumpman store at 306 Yonge St.

This week we were given the pleasure of being joined by not one, but two guests; in the form of Alex, aka Sugy, and Paul, aka IBS Negative - who hadn't been with us in nearly 100 episodes! Since we were welcoming some incredibly Adidas savvy friends, this episode was very three stripe heavy. From our picks in the CGS Picks, to a news story in This Week In Kicks, and finally our main discussion surrounding the new A to ZX collection, we guarantee you'll get your Adi fix this week. Along with that, we cover news about counterfeit sneakers, talk about Alex's purplish-blue hair, discuss our favourite condiments, and then Paul takes his pants off. This was a great show with some awesome insight from some dudes with a massive passion for Adidas, and we promise you'll enjoy the listen!

Another week and another fun 'sode for your headtop. This week we cover some shoes made from materials that were in space, Aime Leon Dore flipping the script with a sneaker release, and lots of playoff basketball talk. Then, our guest, Matt Oh, who drops some bars to get us going, gets run through 21 Guestions, and then we bring back How Much Izzat for another spin. After that, Matt tells us the story of his experience designing, marketing, and launching a sneaker collaboration with an unlikely brand. You're going to love this story, and you won't even need a premium membership to hear it!
