About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of culture vultures in the sneaker community and the dedication of creators who love sneakers beyond financial incentives.

Seth Fowler recently got some flak on X for selling a bunch of his collection. It led Matt to think about creators in the sneaker space who may be culture vultures, and the ones who, despite any financial gain, stick around for love of the game; sneakers and content. Respect to all on the content grind. --- New episodes released weekly. --- Subscribe to Fire Footwear on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@firefootwearsneakers Subscribe to Matt Frates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mattfrates --- Follow Matt Frates on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattfratescreates/ Follow Matt Frates on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mattfratescreates Reach out to me with questions or thoughts: mattfratescreations@gmail.com This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy
