The crew is back and we've got another super fun episode for you all this week! We're kicking things off by getting back to our regularly scheduled programming during the fire round, and following it up with a discussion about Nike's 2021 Q1 earnings report. Next, we reminisce way back to our school days and talk about our favourite test formats. Finally, we put our doctor hats on, and prescribe sneakers to people in some hypothetical scenarios.  Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

182 | Canada Got Sole, MD

The. Gang. Is. Back! Yes that's right, back like we never left, the crew is here on our ones (threes?) to bring y'all another banger of an episode. First off, we start by discussion what sneakers look better in person, and after that we cover a team favourite - auction news! Then we move on to a semi-inappropriate discussion about which colour would smell the best, if colours had smells, and read off some DM's from the listeners about the pack vs. set vs. collection debate. Finally, we close things out with an updated 'sode on the state of women's exclusive sneakers. We look at where we've come from, where we are now, and where they need to go.    Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

181 | Smells Like Brown

The squad is back and apparently on 1/3 of the group is familiar with televised darts. Once we all get on the same page with dart references, we jump into a fire round about underrated Air Maxes, before covering news about Jordan Brand's newest signing - who doesn't really feel all that new. Our main discussion sees one of our more heated debates ever; as we try to dissect what's a pack, what's a collection, and what's a set... Spoiler alert - we still have no idea.    Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

180 | What da Pack

The gang is back for another episode featuring only us. We're slowing getting the crew back in one place, but in true Canada Got Sole fashion, we forgot to make sure we all had microphones; which lead to some interesting seating arrangements. Once we get situated, we begin to run over a range of topics including the Trophy Room x Jordan Brand saga, some of our favourite things about the Fall season approaching, and do our (now weekly) roof rack check-in. Finally, we discuss brands being unable to keep their own product release dates, and what could be done to fix that. Are release dates a thing of the past? Could pre-orders make a come back?    Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

179 | A False Hope

A mid-week drop usually means something special, and this week we're bringing you a follow-up interview with the GM of StockX Canada, and fellow sneakerdad - Jimmy OffShore. Alvin gets the scoop on how business has been going since officially opening shop in Canada ten short months ago, as well as some insight on how Canadian Sneakerheads like to spend their money.  Follow our guest at: @JimmyOffShore   Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

178 | Checkin‘ In ft.Jimmy OffShore

Summer vacation is over (again) and we're back with another episode featuring the gang and the gang only! We missed y'all, but we're a little rusty, so bare with us! We kick it off with a talk about some summer hits, followed by news of one of the NFL's biggest stars getting his own signature sneaker. After that we rap about using dark mode on our mobile devices, and close the episode catching up! We all had a busy couple weeks, so we share our news, pick-ups, and stories - as well as look forward to what we want to wear as autumn approaches.

177 | Qottage Country

*Warning. We're grumpy old sneaker heads, don't take this personally* We are back again! Summer vacations are coming fast and furious, and we did nothing last year, so you can't really blame us for wanting to take some weeks off and spend some time outside, right? Anyways, we've got lots to catch up on, including some huge news about an acquisition by Foot Locker Corp., as well as an NSR question that has us realizing just how un-athletic we really are. There's a reason we invited Uncle Scott on the program, and that's cause we're letting our grumpy old sneaker head-isms shine through, and talking about our sneaker pet peeves that make us feel cranky and washed up. Will Alvin swear more or less than 15 times? Will Sean's heart rate pass 200 bpm?

176 | Get Off My Lawn ft. Sean Collard

It had been too long since we were joined by our unofficial fourth member, so we hit our homie's line and Phil is here! Although he never needs a reason to stop by, this wasn't an accident; as we wanted our resident basketball expert to come thru and talk NBA Finals and signature sneakers with us. We cover everything from championship meal choices, to favourite fruits, before we dive into famous (and infamous) sneaker legacies. Does winning a 'chip help with a shoe's legacy? Which signature athlete us up next? Who's the greatest signature athlete without a ring?

175 | Watermelon Mustard Casserole ft. Sole Purpose

After another week off for summer vacation, the team is back with a banger of an episode! We are finally joined by our homie, Luke - better known as Coffee and Kicks - who we've been trying to get on the show for a hot minute. With Luke in tow, we run over a busy couple weeks of pick-ups, as well as show love to a local athlete who just secured the bag with Jordan Brand. Luke is our first guest in over a month, so it was refreshing to play a round of 21 Guestions before learning more about his sneaker story during his Soleography. We close the show with a chat about his sneaker interests, his highly curated Instagram, and find out what makes a good coffee.

174 | Navy Blue, IDFWY ft. Coffee and Kicks

After a mini hiatus the crew is back together and we arrived just in time for more Virgil x Nike madness. But before all that, we have a brief convo about some of our favourite sneaker expo displays, and also cover a fairly busy week's worth of pickups. Then we discuss imaginary pets, before getting into a listen-submitted topic of about affiliations. Are there sneakers you won't wear because they're linked to a certain player? Or a shoe that just leaves a bad taste in your mouth from personal experience? The team weighs in on some styles and brands that we just can't ever mess with because of the memories they stir up.    Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

173 | Sezzle Dat

The boys are back and for the third week in a row it's just the three of us. This week, we discuss removing Joel's echo machine privileges, air our grievances with Virgil's new Nike collection, and in true TTS fashion, a very non-zombie related conversation becomes zombie related. We finish things off with a conversation about trends; some that we thought could never die, and some that we never thought we'd be in to.    Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

172 | Soup on a Plate

For the second week in a row it is just us, and we're getting deep on the podcast this week. But we start things off talking about pairs we're always on the hunt for, followed by a break-down and discussion about the new Nike/Converse Space Jam collection. We were flooded with messages, so EEE pops off, and we close things out with a discussion about where we fit everything in. How we fit sneakers into our budget, and our lives; and where Canada Got Sole fits into the fold as well.    Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

171 | Just Us

We are back and we are guestless this week but the team always come with that electric chemistry so you won't even notice the difference. Because we didn't have a guest we let the listeners decide what content we covered this week; which ranged from sneaker horror stories, to the Nike x Kobe train-wreck; and bots to back-dooring. Along the way we run off on tangents about video games and the BTS meal at McDonalds - needless to say you're in for one hell of a ride.  Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

170 | Do You, Boo Boo

We may have missed a week but we promise this episode was worth the wait. We're back and we brought long time friend of the show, and the brains behind everyone's favourite hat brand, our homie Shahin. Shahin is the found of Styll, a Toronto-owned company bringing energy back in to the fitted scene. We let him loose and he did not disappoint, as he touches on a million different things that are on his mind. Of course we also get the skinny on why he started Styll, where he'd love to see it go, and what the reason was behind the recent resurgence of fitted caps.  Follow our guest at: @ShahinStyll @Styll.ca   Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK

169 | 3,000 Things ft. Shahin, Styll

Walt Disney World > Disneyland.  But anyways, we have a banger of a episode for you guys this week! Our friend John joined us all the way from sunny California, and his affliction for Disney definitely made it's presence known throughout the show. There was a massive move in the WNBA sneaker scene, and another full week of pickups all around. Then we ask wether In N Out is overrated, and see how much John knows about Canada. The nitty gritty of the episode is spent discussing Johns recent reentry into the sneaker game after a 20-year hiatus. What prompted him to come back, how it's changed since he was last here, and what has surprised him since his return.    Follow our guest at: @Weekends_With_Walt @KicksAtTheCastle   Follow us at: @CanadaGotSole @MisterQMart @Jo_Doooney @LDoggyStyles  www.CanadaGotSole.ca Facebook.com/groups/CGS.TALK  

168 | Mr. Calves ft. Weekends With Walt
