What's the best Reebok Pump shoe of all time?

This might be my favorite guest of 2024 so far. Paul’s enthusiasm for footwear breathes a whole new life into the meaning of shoe dog. His excitement for sneakers is CONTAGIOUS!

Yooo welty got the Chalino tee on. He’s forever invited to the carne asada.

"Parlay fit” comedy gold Welty

Is this the first time someone has come with a discount code?! Genius!!

You know the term “sneakerhead” gets thrown around a lot these days. That term must be reserved for OG’s like Paul. Such an exciting episode. Loved it. Keep it up complex.

I love when the convos go on and it’s not about sneakers, that’s what makes it more personal for us, it’s what made the JBP great, hearing the topics and the random rants that let us get to know you !
-
I love how he is just as passionate about what he's working on now as what he worked on 30-40 years ago. Would be amazing to have a joint pod with him and Steven Smith
