Send us Fan Mail This week, sneaker industry veteran Nick Engvall returns to the podcast to discuss the state of the enthusiast community. The sneaker world has seen plenty of change in recent years, and there's plenty of similarities to the world of watches, including a few lessons to be learned. In this episode, we chat about the state of enthusiasm across both watches and sneakers, and how might grow beyond the hype driven culture that once dominated. Additionally, there's some car talk thrown in for good measure, so fair warning.
