    Amazing
    Best sneaker podcast out here. Great conversations and relatable content. 👏🏽🔥🔥
  • @soleofthe_sts
    The mf Sockman!
    This is THE BEST sneaker podcast I’ve ever listened to. His subject matter is not only innovative and unique but his criticism is told from a genuine and unbiased perspective. You’re going to laugh, you’re going to disagree, he’s gonna say what you’ve been thinking, you’re gonna learn a thing or two - all of that. His content is well thought out and informative and in between episodes there’s enough heat in the catalogue to keep your podcast rotation going strong! Sockjig top 2 & he not two! Now do me a favor.. follow the pod, throw on some noise blockers, tune in and GOFYS!!! - soleofthestreets ✌🏾

    80% Constructive critique/ 20% Jokes
    Good pace, quality tone, interesting subject matter for mature sneaker wearers.
  • DABIGREDMACHINE
    Always Informative & Entertaining
    The best pure sneaker pod out there. If it’s happening in the community, Sock more than likely already called it and talked about it.
  • Joedogs21
    A great sneaker podcast
    First of all, this is the only one person podcast I’ve ever been able to stay interested in. It’s hard to carry a show on your own and sockjig does it well! A great sneaker podcast through and through! Sockjig is well-informed, smart, and takes time to do his research instead of jumping to conclusions. He’s also really funny and the show isn’t just straight opinions all the time. Highly recommend for any sneakerhead!
  • JDW-NYC

    A breath of fresh air in a world where venture capitalists buy articles in business week.
    Well informed and articulated view on the current state of sneakers and sneaker culture. pod is an easy listen with a lot of thought put into the topics and how they are approached/presented. A breath of fresh air in a world where venture capitalists buy articles in business week. Don’t pay the mental tax, the game is the game, gfy!

    A podcast for shoe guys, not resellers
    Sockjig podcast is like Seinfeld for sneaker heads. He has a satirical approach to sneakers yet is very honest and knowledgeable about the industry. If you around 30 or older and have a true interest in shoes and the shoe world, i guarantee you will find this podcast enjoyable. The game is the game.

    100% Authentic
    There’s not another podcast that covers sneakers that is this honest, knowledgeable, and the type of non-corny humor that real ones can appreciate. Best in the game.
  • Void 206
