The Golda focuses on creators, crafters, and remakers. Customization. Craft. Revitalization.

Reshoring will become just as important as hype collabs changing the direction of the sneaker industry. Brands in this video Sneaker…
I must explain why a sneaker industry analyst has taken such an interest in the Mikey Williams case. I was a high school basketball head coach in San Diego. I only care about three college programs: San Diego State (I am an alumni), Memphis (my hometown) and Miami (my son goes to the U)….
0:00 Intro Nike may have reached a peak in 2023 but their redeeming quality is an ability to lock down real estate in the right areas. The data in SNKRS and the Nike app provides considerable insight into where the brand should open physical doors. While footwear and apparel are the obvious drivers of revenue,…
adidas is almost done with the recovery from the YZY debacle which has been extremely problematic for the brand in the U.S. There is not a reason to rehash how the billion-dollar partnership skewed how the brand operated in America. There is not a reason to bring up how the Fear of God partnership has…
No longer the Silicon Valley uniform darling, Allbirds has had the roughest post IPO performance of any brand. The company has all the tools to turn the ship around but appears to be mired in an unwillingness to venture outside of their norms. The company is ridiculously vanilla and non-threatening. A company unwilling to challenge…
As buyers reduce purchasing and default to readily available products at specialty running and mainstream sneaker stores, distribution will rear its head as the de facto cause of collapse for brands without the brand recognition to move fans into the purchase funnel. In Olympic years advertising spend increases and as bigger brands vie to keep…

In the past I’ve attempted to keep up with the mainstream sneaker outlets by sharing my top 20 or 40 sneakers of the year. I based this on a section of the site I listed as Dope S–t I Like. This made for what I think was the most engaging and interesting list in the…

The NBA on ESPN, NBA on TNT, the commentary about the kid’s weight (and I’m sure someone is yelling “he’s 23, he’s a man.”) everything surrounding this young man is a net negative on his mental well-being.
