Description
Edison Chen is the co-founder of Clot, a streetwear brand that’s spent 20 years tying together the East and the West.

In this episode, Chen talks about leaving Nike, signing with Adidas, and the bygone era of lining up for sneakers. Also, cohosts Joe La Puma, Brendan Dunne, and Matt Welty recap some Nike Book 1 drama on social media. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
