It’s Episode 4 of The Drop Date Podcast, and our hosts Elsey and Rhys are joined by a very special guest, one of our very own, Will Stowe!
Within this episode, Stowe shares his journey from being a longtime admirer of Nike to landing a job at the company. Growing up in Hackney, London, he discovered his love for sneakers and was later introduced to various brands and collaborations when he went to college. A pivotal moment in his growth came when a friend took him under his wing and showed him the foundations of the streetwear scene, and despite struggling with writing skills initially, Stowe was encouraged to explore his creative side and eventually found success in the sneaker community.
The trio get stuck into some juicy sneaker chat, including the legality and ethics of sneaker bots in the resale market, questioning their impact on fair access and market saturation. Additionally, they dive into the Air Max 95 Coral Studios sneakers and their impact on raising awareness about coral bleaching and pollution.
