Sole Talk Podcast

Happy New Year! Soul Talk Podcast is back with Episode 11 — first pod of the year. Duch and Byrd Brook catch up on how they brought in the New Year, talk new shoes (UNC 9s + Nigel Sylvester lows), and run through what 2026 might look like after a wild 2025 sneaker year.

We get into upcoming drops (Bread 4s, Wolf Grey 5s getting pushed, collabs), debate the best sneaker years (2016 vs 2025), and talk goals for the pod — including travel episodes, sneaker cons, and pulling up on shops/collectors.

To close it out, Mook runs through his Top 5 sneakers of 2025, shares what got him into sneakers, and we talk classic pairs we wish we never...

What’s good y’all — Soul Talk Podcast, Episode 9! We officially beat the “7-episode curse” (you know… that’s where most pods quit), and we’re still here talkin’ sneakers, culture, and real life.

This week we got a special guest: J-Hop (Duch’s cousin) in the building — and the story of how they found out they were cousins AFTER being friends for years is hilarious. We also get into holiday vibes, end-of-year “4th quarter” energy, and a wild Phoenix story where rain turned the car into a whole boat.

Then we lace up and go deep on sneakers: bless...
