In this episode of TSB, the crew discuss the debacle that was the Union LA X Air Jordan 1 release.
Adidas and the Yeezy Design Studio are investigated and fined by OSHA when an employee crushed their foot with a 3D printer because they weren’t properly trained on how to use a pallet jack. Looking forward to that steel toe Yeezy 350 release.
Pensole is teaming up with New Balance to create a new master class for sneaker designers and aspiring industry professionals.
Kelly Oubre Jr. might’ve gotten away with something. He’s signed a deal with Converse to wear their product off the court–in particular, heading into the arena before games–but he gets to wear Nike Basketball products on-court. Must be nice.
