#80 - Hype Sneakers are Dead: Why One Shoe No Longer Rules the Game
This week, Josh and Fabs dive into the end of the “main character” sneaker era — those once-untouchable hype shoes that ruled the game, from the Balenciaga Triple S to Travis Scott’s AJ1s. Sneaker culture has shifted, and it’s no longer about one shoe dominating everyone’s rotation. We talk about how the scene has exploded into a mix of styles — from runners and skate shoes to dress sneakers and hiking kicks — and what that means for collectors, casual wearers, and the brands trying to keep up. We’ll break down why hype isn’t dead, but different… and why that might actually be the best thing that’s happened to sneakerheads in years.
