About this episode

This week we welcome Nick Engvall, veteran of the sneaker industry media space, and founder of Sneaker History. Nick also co-hosts a number of podcasts about sneakers, cars, and Formula 1 in particular, all of which are discussed in this episode. The sneaker space has many parallels with the watch enthusiast space, and has experienced many of the same highs and lows in recent years, and we talk about what makes each unique. There's also plenty of nostalgia here, as well car talk. You can find more of Nick at the links below.
