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.
