Episode Two | 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 significant consequences.
Part 2 of a 2 Part Series 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 the "Dads of Denham" group Ricky co-founded as well as a botched deal to buy a local restaurant and investigations into charity funds that never made it to their destination.
