Episode One | Sneakers to Shackles: The Takedown of Ricky Foster

About this episode

This episode explores the rise and fall of Ricky Foster, a figure in sneaker culture whose fraudulent activities led to a shocking investigation.

From the hype-filled streets of sneaker culture comes one of the most bizarre true stories of the year: the rise and explosive fall of Ricky Foster, the man at the center of the viral documentary series The Devil Wears Dunks . Ricky Foster, a Denham Springs, Louisiana local, burst onto the scene as a supposed high-rolling investor and rare Nike collector. He dazzled sneaker stores, collectors, and enthusiasts with tales of private jets, luxury homes, multi-million-dollar deals, and insider access to ultra-rare Dunks and Nike samples. It all sounded too good to be true… because it was. What started as a routine sneaker transaction quickly unraveled into a web of lies, manipulation, broken families, and shattered trust. In this episode, Jim Chapman dives into what motivated Jeremy Green, the CEO of ECCO to expose Ricky Foster and how that quest led to an investigation so shocking, it rocked a community and led to arrests including SA, Extortion and Crimes against nature. #Jeremygreene #rickyfoster #devilwearsdunks #podcast #exposed Timestamps 04:00 Who Is Jeremy Greene 07:00 The Sneaker Culture 10:00 Investing Troubles for Ricky 18:15 Something Don’t Smell Right 29:53 Ricky's…
