A sneaker-driven show where culture, conversation, and kicks collide. Each episode dives into the stories behind the shoes, the people who wear them, and the moves being made in the sneaker world. Honest takes, real perspectives, and the passion of true sneakerheads. Lace up and tap in.
Complex dropped its Top 10 Sneakers of the Year list, and we got some serious questions! This week on SoleTalk, Duch, Byrd Brook, and B.O. break down the rankings, debate who got snubbed, and explain why some of the biggest releases didn't deserve a spot.
We also recap the latest Ladies Love Laces event, from the incredible turnout to the creativity behind the Ladies Love Laces University theme.
Then things heat up as we debate which iconic Jordan silhouette has to go forever: the 1, 3, 4, or 11? We also get into sneakers that make for terrible outfits, the hype surrounding limited releases, and whether signing with Nike is really the dream move for independent designers like J-Tips.
Plus, we discuss Aya Brown standing on business when it comes to affordable sneakers, the upcoming Doernbecher collection, and the Milwaukee Brewers bringing World Series excitement—and crazy ticket prices—to the city.
Tap in for another episode full of sneaker culture, unfiltered opinions, laughs, and real conversations.

Episode 47 "Trouble at Complexcon"
On Episode 47 of the Soul Talk Podcast, Duch, Byrd Brook, and B.O. are back in a new location with plenty to talk about! From the biggest sneaker reveals at ComplexCon to the growing number of Jordans sitting on shelves, the crew breaks down what's hot, what's overhyped, and what's really happening in sneaker culture.
This week, we're talking J-Tips' incredible Nike Air Bacon Low collaboration, Lil Yachty trying to bring Air Force 1 Mids back, Ronnie Fieg's upcoming Nike collaborations, and whether Kanye West is still the most influential person in sneaker fashion.
The conversation gets deeper as the crew discusses the backlash surrounding Converse's controversial campaign, Nike's approach to Jordan retro releases, and why some classic sneakers aren't selling like they used to.
Plus, we celebrate birthdays, talk about the upcoming Ladies Love Laces 4, and discuss why sneaker events should be about community instead of fighting over shoes.

Episode 46 "Black Footwear Forum"
The whole gang is back, and this episode is packed. B.O. returns from Detroit with a full recap of the sneaker forum, from being crowned Sneaker Queen and winning a $250 StockX gift card to networking with some major names in the sneaker industry.
We get into why events like this matter for creators trying to break into the sneaker industry, the importance of networking, and why Milwaukee needs to be in more of these rooms.
Then we get into the sneaker talk: Foot Locker’s wild sizing mix-up, A Ma Maniére’s latest drops, Travis Scott bringing another Chicago-inspired Jordan 1 Low, the story behind Nike originally creating the “Black Mamba” concept for Michael Jordan, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence getting early Nike heat in the ’90s, and the never-ending conversation about fake sneakers and how hard they are becoming to spot.
With summer officially over, we also debate our favorite sneakers of the year so far and what we’re looking forward to as the fall and winter releases start rolling in.
Plus, Ladies Love Laces is getting closer, National Sneaker Day is around the corner, and B.O. is only 15 tickets away from her goal.
