This is a sneaker podcast featuring Anthony Levine, longtime collector and former Sneaker Youtuber. I love sneakers from all brands and created this podcast to share my pickups, thoughts on upcoming releases and sneaker related news, and what pairs I plan on getting. When I have sneaker lifestyle tips I will feature those as well.
