About this episode

Matt Frates discusses the importance of community and personal stories in sneaker culture beyond consumerism.

Sneaker culture can sometimes be made to be only about mass consumerism of sneakers. In reality, it is so much more. What makes the culture so special are the people and stories/experiences they bring. It's our unique perspectives that connect us and is the through line. Matt talks about it. --- Subscribe to Matt Frates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattfratescreates Like what you hear?
