This week, the boys tackle the big subject of Nike's slowed growth, layoffs, and change in strategy, and how that has affected the Swoosh's cultural relevance. Increased competition, more agile competitors, and a lack of focus on innovation and performance have left Nike playing catch up in some ways, even as the biggest sportswear brand in the world still.

Latest pickups, what Josh and Fabs have been wearing, and biggest releases to look out for are, of course, also on the menu.

This week, Fabs and Josh come together to discuss something that has been weighing heavily on their mind: why no one is talking about how good adidas Basketball has been doing? The brand has a clear visual identity and, for what feels like the first time in ages, is bringing out better shoes — both on the lifestyle and the performance end — than Nike.
