This is shining example of when the podcast is at its best - a truly iconic guest and incredible stories about defining moments of our culture. Much appreciation to Astor for his authenticity and to the hosts for just letting Astor run 🏃🏾♂️with these stories!
You guys really went above and beyond with this episode. Thank you for informing the culture always and especially for this one. This episode is like a documentary!
When I worked for Foot Locker in 97 Astor was my Ekin for my store 42nd & Time Square, Those was amazing times, This is why I do what I do for Jordan brand this is priceless with out loving customers you have nothing, Astor is the truth!!!! JD🙏🏾👍🏾🙂
JLP not knowing how to buy Reeboks off the internet is the sneaker world’s George H. W. Bush not knowing how much a gallon of milk costs. Love you Joe! 🤣
Knew Astor since my late 90s footlocker to Niketown days. Bro was the original this ain’t out yet kid with the kicks and my inspiration and catalyst to starting my career at Nike at the time. Had a couple of opportunities with applying for the EKIN role only to be bested by someone like Astor, with more experience, it only inspired me more to pursue my passion and dreams. This was an excellent interview and Astor is what true storytelling is about.
I’ve only gotten into sneakers within the past decade, so I wasn’t familiar with who Astor is. I love these guests and their stories of getting into the industry and the history of some of the most prominent sneaker projects.
Apart from this being another great episode with an amazing guest. I am surprised they haven’t brought up Ronnie opening 2 new Kith stores and releasing his 99th & 100th Asics pairs.
This is an interview for the culture. THE VERY BEST EPISODE FOR SURE!!!. Well done to the guest and his amazing Journey. Know he definitely has a lot more to share, a Part 2 in the future would be very amazing. Well done Complex Team on this one
Man this is easily in the running for your alls best episode ever. So many great & inspiring stories. Astor seems like such a solid dude. I rarely ever even leave comments on the episodes but this one was really like that lol 🤞🏽
Amazing, amazing content. Love the stories, inspiring insights from Astor. Definitely a need for another session and I am already looking forward to it!
Yea this was definitely a great interview.. so much info and great info. One of the best!! It’s was Wednesdays Jordans dropped .. not Saturdays . They changed to say because we was going to mall before school or skipping school. Yea he’s right about back then wasn’t nobody getting early at all you would see either from commercial or All-star game or eastbay. I would ask the store can I see the Catolog from Nike they had and it showed the shoes coming. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
For all you so called experts regarding sneaker culture, thank The Culture…..what a time to work for the Swoosh. Certain people were stars amongst their peers. One of the architects of Influencer Marketing….cheers Mr Chambers!
The life stories always have me so intrigued ! Kick game properrrrr ! Such an amazing journey, and of course the people he’s met along the way ! Beyond amazing conversation This was such a beautiful episode guys !
I totally agree with Dunne on Air Max 1 “Big Bubble”. I was super excited about it until I saw the images, and tbh the shape of them has totally threw me off. Definitely not copping them now.
