The Wu-Tang x Nike Dunks are releasing for the first time ever. The “Galaxy” Foamposites are coming back. It even looks like the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 grails are retroing next year. Why is Nike scrambling to drop so much heat? And should the brand show any restraint when it comes to bringing sneakers back out? Should certain sneakers remain in the vault? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty discuss these questions in this latest episode, and try to situate the decisions with respect to Nike’s current financial woes. Also, the trio talk “Pink Diamond” SB Dunks and pays tribute to the late reseller Upscale Cracc.

If you could retro any Nike sneaker, what would it be?
Atoms x Nike Air Max 90 Tiger Camo
KAWS AM90 current (black ones)
Nike Decade from Heaven’s Gate.
Already happened, TS AF1 was always a grail and was thought to be unobtainable and they ended up dropping and I secured with ease and loved it, never cared if it bricked or not. If you want a shoe buy the shoe regardless if it’s coveted by the masses or not.
Air Max Zoom 950 NRG/Japan
How yall say see you next week and nothing L
I need those Air Max TN’s too. Plus – no pun intended – Nike needs to bring back the rest of that pack: blue and purple.
