Ronnie is just so humble and prefers to give praise rather than speak negative about any topic, so much respect for the culture he grew up in and is still inspired by. He has truly earned his success and is not defined by it.
Was there really a single doubt in anyone’s mind that Welty’s promotion wasn’t going to be him becoming the superintendent of his building? Proud of you Matt 🙏
Better late than never. Absolutely historical to see Ronnie and the gang chopping up together. Definitely one of the best episodes. Straight up. Congratulations again, Ronnie! 10 years and here is to another 10 and another 10. I didn’t get my chance with the Salmon Toe / Leatherback zoom session but definitely looking forward to get my hands on them eventually.
ronnie had a great point on individualism. seems like individuality is non existent in relative comparison to everything going on with sneaker culture. we're living in a screenshot era where people oblige a personality or aesthetic without any sincerity or experience to justify their choices on kicks. so many heads just look and sound like one another these days and its only magnified with social media engagement. all you need is money in your pockets to buy a costume and live a dream. goes for music and fashion alike.
1:03:06 Very solid conversation point on the individuality of what people like now a days that is dictated by what others think is “cool” from what gets posted and seen on their feed. Everyone just gets taught what to like and not form their own opinion if they like something or not
That Tokyo discussion though. 100% agree. Tokyo is just a whole different vibe. It's really an incredible place, doesn't matter what you're into. Fashion, architecture, art, etc. Everything is an experience!
Bro Dunne had me rolling when he kept poking at Welty over that knife throughout the first part of the episode & you can tell Welty was getting more and more heated 😂🤣
Damn Brendan was on point with the music video question ! Ronnie with gifts man ! So dope to be gifted a pair from him. Proud owner of Gel Lyte III's. Amazing sneaker What a beautiful episode 🔥 one of my favorites for sure Shout out to Ronnie 🙏🏽
Ron Fieg's sensibilities - I like it. I wasn't sold on visiting KITH in my home of Hawaii, but now I'm curious to see how his shop reflects his ideas. The fact that he said KITH is not a sneaker store, makes me even more curious. Entertaining podcast in the sharing of hot takes and different ideas. Especially out individuality.
In the 90's I worked at Franklin Mills Mall in Philadelphia and I went and bought 2 pairs of Wallabee's, a black pair and a royal blue pair, then I took them to get the Wu-Tang logo airbrushed on the lateral side of both pairs. 90's culture was the greatest, the music, fashion & footwear will always hold a special place in my heart.
This is crazy you guys mentioned the Keri Hilson video featuring Kanye. I saw that video last night and barely realized Kanye wearing those Nike Yeezy 1s. To the person that asked that question, well deserved 👏
guys this is for sure top 5 if not top 3 off episodes @RonnieFieg is a legend , been seeing kith product and all that for a while now, but first time i hear the man talking "without camera pressure" (if that makes sense), and kind see and understand , because heard many talk about him in the shows you guys do . being from across the pond , we hear/see the brand , but to me was the first time hearing the man behind it , seen pictures and all that , but actually talking not just about the product in hand came about (like other pictures and posts) but like how he came about. that's how one can understand others a bit better is by knowing and understanding where he comes from. we don't just pop up with 30,s/40,s..... very cool dude to bad have no chance of ever seeing/meeting him (unless he comes to uk....l0l)...but yeah very down to earth guy....lol
Fully agree with Ronnie comment on Stock Room work and spending one-on-one time with product; used to love cracking open delivery crates and seeing unreleased products for the first time when I was working in stores.
For the pods fan question... Jordan 4 Toro Bravo's when Chris Brown wore them in the 'Love More' vid. To this day, it's the video which got me hooked on Jordan 4's having not been a basketball fan until the last couple of years. The shape, colours... unreal. Hoping one day I can add them to my collection.
1:03:06 I too am getting sick of “sneaker culture” only being about the same 5 models of shoes. It’s like: 35% AJ1 35% Dunk 15% Yeezy 10% AJ4 5% Collabs/Randoms that break through That’s why the “fatigue” we experience now is in existence. I don’t need an AJ1 or Dunk in every color of the rainbow. I just don’t. Lol. But as Brendan said, I’ve contributed to it too. I’m guilty of calling Welty out on being plain on a sneaker podcast lol. So I applaud him for taking a stand.
Extremely disappointed nobody mentioned Fabolous in the trade it all video wearing the iconic blue lakers jersey wit the Carolina blue Jordan 7s. That video alone had them sneakers in a choke hold
56:49 Welty cuts Ronnie and JLP off and then ask a dumb question and then disrespects him saying “What’s your favorite flavor; the JLP?” Ronnie stares him down hahaha
Best episode! Been knowing about Kith like that since 14, had 1-2 pieces and around 2016 when I started getting bread like that went ham on everything they drop lol Kith or nothing! LA Kith the best!
I miss that feeling of seeing something for the first time. That’s why when I go on vacation I don’t Google any images or anything lol. I wanna see it with my own eyes.
What is your favorite Kith sneaker collaboration?
New balance 997 X Kith x United arrows and sons 🔥🔥🔥🔥
New balance Daytona’s
New balance 992 Kithmas
Kith New Balance 1700 Pink Toe (Part of the Colorist Pack)
Tom and Jerry or Looney Toons I'm big into animation always loved how Ronnie wanst afraid to work with these brands
Ronnie Fieg is a genius. His eye for fashion and basically anything fly, dope or cool is unmatched!
This was a great episode, even better than the one he did last year. Ronnie showed his personality more and his New York side as well 😂
This was seriously the best episode so far!! th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html
Ronnie is just so humble and prefers to give praise rather than speak negative about any topic, so much respect for the culture he grew up in and is still inspired by. He has truly earned his success and is not defined by it.
Ronnie episode, exactly what I need this Friday
We needed Ava
In Ronnie we trust, Ronnie the GOAT.... KITH down 4eva!!! th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html
Was there really a single doubt in anyone’s mind that Welty’s promotion wasn’t going to be him becoming the superintendent of his building? Proud of you Matt 🙏
Big Matt, he deserves all his blessings th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html
Better late than never. Absolutely historical to see Ronnie and the gang chopping up together. Definitely one of the best episodes. Straight up.

as a fan of kiths products, this is for me one of the greatest episodes of all times. Top 3 at least. Huge respect to RF, hes a genius
That Tokyo discussion though. 100% agree. Tokyo is just a whole different vibe. It's really an incredible place, doesn't matter what you're into. Fashion, architecture, art, etc. Everything is an experience!
Bro Dunne had me rolling when he kept poking at Welty over that knife throughout the first part of the episode & you can tell Welty was getting more and more heated 😂🤣
The dialogue before the guest is always comedic
Welty: “I hit two elderly people”
Dunne: “did they survive?”
Joe: “bro…”
🤣😭
LMAO it's like a SNL skit b4 every show th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html
Can we do worst take on sneaker podcast as well? For Joe wanting to use hiking shoes on a treadmill 😂
Love this episode
This was the best episode so far Ronnie is the GOAT!! th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html

What a beautiful episode 🔥 one of my favorites for sure

Episode about to be a bangerrr

The fact that he said KITH is not a sneaker store, makes me even more curious. Entertaining podcast in the sharing of hot takes and different ideas. Especially out individuality.
Best episode yet, I love Ronnie and everything he does. Kith is my favorite brand of all time, no one does it better.
In Ronnie we trust, he is seriously the GOAT th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html
Dunn's fit for this podcast is fire im digging the chill vibes 👌
In the 90's I worked at Franklin Mills Mall in Philadelphia and I went and bought 2 pairs of Wallabee's, a black pair and a royal blue pair, then I took them to get the Wu-Tang logo airbrushed on the lateral side of both pairs. 90's culture was the greatest, the music, fashion & footwear will always hold a special place in my heart.
Great episode and Ronnie is a beast really has made Kith the definition of a life style brand.
Ronnie is the GOAT 4real!!! th-cam.com/video/VfguTh8SH_0/w-d-xo.html
