Are sneakers dead? Or are they just "on ice"? This week, Tam and Lucinda are diving deep into the shifting world of footwear and why your favourite Sambas might be losing their cool factor. From the "Sneaker Economy" (where shoes can cost as much as a house) to the rise of the "Sneakarena," they’re breaking down what we’re actually putting on our feet in 2026.
Plus, if you’re suffering from sneaker fatigue, Tam has the definitive guide to the "Fancy Flat" and the boots you’ll be wearing all through Autumn.
