This week, Josh and Fabs share their thoughts on why the sneaker marketing is declining. With a lot of limited editions sneakers not selling out anymore and many pairs not reselling for as much as expected, the boys ask each other whether we're entering a "Sneaker Bear Market"?

In addition, The Kickback Crew discuss their latest pickups, what they've been wearing recently, and what they're looking forward to.

This week, Fabs and Josh each present their top 5 sneakers of the year so far. Comprising the list are sneakers we may or may not have copped that dropped in the first 6 months of 2022. As tastes differ wildly, these lists are based on our personal preferences and vary from each other. These are not the sneakers we thought were most successful or most popular this year, but sneakers WE enjoyed the most thus far.

In addition, we walk through our latest pickups and upcoming drops, as we do every week.

This week, Fabs and Josh take a look at some of the biggest stories to break over the past two weeks. This includes adidas suing Nike for trademark infringement, Kanye dragging adidas' CEO on Instagram because of the company's new adilette 22 slides, the Chicago 1 Remastered images that leaked, Salomon's new GORE-TEX-equipped XT-6, and much more.
