The Haircut That Ended the Show - Pete Forester on High Snobiety, StockX, and Two Decades of Telling Sneaker Stories Nobody Else Would

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 12:00:00 -0700

Pete Forester and I have been circling each other in the sneaker and streetwear editorial world for well over a decade. Pete worked at Kith under Ronnie Fieg, wrote news for Complex Sneakers, covered the industry for Esquire, hosted two seasons of High Snobiety's From the Ground Up, and was editorial director at StockX. He also wrote the Sole Collector article that introduced the world to StockX before he ever worked there.

We finally connected... and barely talked about shoes.

The Highsnobiety show ended because the owner didn't like Pete's haircut. That story says everything you need to know about working in editorial inside someone else's brand, and it's just the starting point. What followed was a conversation about creative independence, the ethics of sneaker media, what happens to work when it gets deleted, and what two decades in this industry actually teaches you.

Pete is currently writing books and publishing at his Substack: Okay, So.

Just Go Create Something: Mike Guillory on Authenticity, Consistency, and Finding Your Lane in Sneaker Content

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 11:45:00 -0700

Mike Guillory has been doing this longer than most people realize... and probably better than he gives himself credit for. He's the host of Coffee Time Kicks on YouTube, a co-host on the Sneaker History podcast, and one of the most thoughtful voices in sneaker content. He's not chasing the hype releases, he's not doing "transaction videos," and he's definitely not interested in making content he doesn't believe in. That approach has taken him to nearly 500 videos, millions of views, and a channel that keeps growing because it's built on something real.

In this conversation, we get into what it actually looks like to build a content channel from scratch, the mistakes most creators make early on, why authenticity outlasts trends, and why the "tryhard" mentality his son's classmates are mocking is exactly the mentality you need to make it.

We also talk about the Sneaker History podcast approaching 500 episodes, what makes long form content work (and when it doesn't), and why the most watched video on Mike's channel is about ASICS Japan while some of his most personally meaningful videos barely moved the needle.

This is a real conversation between two people still figuring it out in public, and I think that's exactly why it's worth your time.

In this episode:

Nick and Mike on starting YouTube before COVID hit, and why timing doesn't matter as much as just starting. The difference between chasing hype releases and building a sustainable content lane. Why Mike researches everything before recording, even though he tries to make it sound like he's just talking. How the skating videos with his son became some of his most-engaged content, and what that tells you about what people actually want. The real talk on attention spans, short form vs. long form, and why a 196,000-view TikTok taught Mike absolutely nothing about what his audience wants. Why the Reebok trainer video with his brother might be one of the best things either of them have made, even if the numbers didn't reflect it. And the thing Nick has never shared publicly before... sneaker YouTube videos from 2013 that only Jacques Slade has seen.

Building The Sneaker Community On Substack

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 11:30:00 -0700

StockX Co-Founder Chris Kaufman on Why Empathy Isn't Soft (It's Just Smart Business)

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:00:00 -0700

Chris Kaufman co-founded StockX and helped build it from the very beginning in a Detroit office to a global marketplace. But this conversation isn't all about that origin story... it's about what he learned watching companies choose short-term profits over long-term culture, and why he wrote a book about empathy at work.

We talk about the early StockX days when disagreement was productive, not destructive. About why firing people every 18 months to hit quarterly targets actually costs more than just keeping your best people. About the difference between being a CEO and being a leader. And about why the most powerful thing you can say as a leader might be "I dropped the ball on this."

Chris has seen both sides... the scrappy startup that valued every voice, and the scaled company where efficiency replaced humanity. He's worked with founders who get it and founders who don't. And his take on what actually makes teams work is refreshingly honest.

If you've ever felt like workplace culture is just corporate speak for "free snacks and ping pong tables," this conversation will change your mind. If you've ever wondered why your company keeps restructuring instead of just... building something, you'll recognize the patterns Chris calls out.

And if you've ever tried to lead people while also being a human being yourself, you'll appreciate how real this gets.

Topics:

Why StockX's early chaos was actually its competitive advantage
The true cost of constant layoffs (it's way more than severance)
What happens when "efficiency" becomes the enemy of innovation
Why vulnerability isn't weakness in leadership
The Kanye visit, the first trades, and what it felt like when things started working

Chris's book is "Empathy at Work," and yes, it's actually good. Not corporate handbook good... actually useful good.

This is the first episode of whatever I'm calling this show. Outside The Box, Pursuit of Something, The Nick Engvall Podcast, Unplanned Entrepreneur... still figuring it out. Let me know what you think it should be called.

Big Baller Brand's Final Days and Nike's Newest Power Move

Mon, 01 Apr 2019 02:47:00 -0700

Big Baller Brand and the Ball family are going through a rough break up. The three sons have unfollowed the brand, Lonzo is hinting at a deal with Nike, his manager is throwing away BBB shoes on Instagram, and the family has reportedly been swindled out of $1.5 million!

Michael Avenatti famous for representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit with Donald Trump, finds dirt on Nike, announces it on Twitter, and then gets arrested before the announcement for trying to extort Nike. Then fresh out of jail, he claims he has more evidence.

We also discuss the best selling sneakers of the month of February. SPOILER ALERT! It is not the All-Star releases you would think that fill the list.
