Sneaker Releases - July 2021

When your resume includes coveted classics like the Nike SB “Crawfish” Dunk and the “Cafe Du Monde” Saucony, you really don’t need an introduction...but it’s good for the algorithms so we’ll do it anyway. Pick any point in recent years of Louisiana sneaker history and you’re likely to discover that he had a hand in it. Whether it’s as identifiable as leading the design on an apparel collection or as subtle as painting flyers for the release, Blaine’s probably done it. That’s because he’s spent the past several years carving out his own path on the in-house brand and footwear collaborations for sneaker boutique, Politics. In this interview, Blaine talks about the hustle needed to get your foot in the door, navigating working relationships with different companies, and his design mentality.Instagram: @shoepodcast  Patreon: patreon.com/shoepodcastWeb: shoepodcast.com Episode artwork, video, and editing by Houston Dragna.
