  • Kerwin Frost-designer, wearer of big fits, talk show host-has worn many hats in the streetwear industry. Here, he talks about the realities of signing with a big brand like Adidas, making footwear with McDonald’s, and Post Malone’s total lack of footwear. Frost also gives his perspective on the many collaborators he’s seen go through Adidas, from Jonah Hill to Jerry Lorenzo. At the top of the episode, hosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Wetly discuss Lil Nas X’s absurd half marathon sneakers, Nike’s Bape lawsuit, and Adidas trying to sign Taylor Swift.

    Great episode guys. Question, do the adidas forest hills (gold and yellow colour way) or the superstar 35th anniversary series ever feature in your sneaker history or radar. Feels like your reference to adidas is often limited to gazelles, sambas or yeezees. The Forest Hills and Superstars had a big moment in early especially in the uk yet I don’t hear or see much defence to them in sneaker culture. Thoughts?
