0:44 This week I take the time to talk about the great execution of the Jay Howell x Vans landing page on the Vans website: https://www.vans.com

3:12 I take a quick look at the Puma site and the fact that they are celebrating Usain Bolt’s 9.58 time from ten years ago, but it reminds me of how underutilized Bolt was for the brand: https://www.puma-catchup.com/usain-bo…

3:49 I take a quick look at Nike Basketball’s best release in three years in the Spongebob Kyrie collection released August 10th 2019. I look at the resale and realize what I already knew, Resale values don’t last long anymore (so why don’t people have patience?).

5:30 I take a really quick look at the footwear and apparel acquisitions by Steve Madden of Greats Brand and BB Dakota.

6:30 I leave this episode by visiting the website for Columbia Sportswear to take a quick look at the Columbia SH/FT. The brand is taking a step into streetwear/fashion with performance by releasing a multi-use sneakerboot that can go from the hiking trail to casual wear. I think it’s a solid release, but would you buy it?

There is a poll on the video if you’re on your desktop.
