Summary

The biggest sneaker release of the year so far is the 2025 retro return of the original black and red “Bred” Air Jordan 1. It’s going to be an expensive shoe at $250, and a hard one to get with around 10,000 pairs floating around. How good of a job did Jordan Brand do in recreating its most seminal sneaker? Does this year’s iteration of the black and red “Banned” Jordan 1 actually feel like a premium shoe? And does anyone even care about all the little details? Co-hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty answer those questions on the latest episode. Also here, they discuss the “Ruby Red Slipper” version of the Wizard of Oz x Nike SB Dunk Low, the recent JJJJound New Balance 993, and Lorenz.OG’s hectic New Balance drop.
