I'm your host Nick Santora and this week I talk with sneaker and sports industry analyst Matt Powell about current trends in the sneaker world. Matt is a mentor and friend of mine, and an industry insider who works directly with the world's leading sportswear brands and retailers. His data collection and analysis is used by CEO's to help predict the future of their business. In this episode we discuss adidas and Kanye, Under Armour and Steph, remastered Air Jordans, the future of customization, "Fanboy" sneaker blogs and much more... Engineered by Josh Webb.
