Anders Holm liked every sneaker you like now 20 years ago. The Workaholics co-creator talks here about his long footwear history—from getting an early pair of Air Jordan 6s as a kid to watching the Three Stripes Posse in high school to getting free Reeboks during his time in college. Holm waxes poetic on sneaker trends that have come and gone, and how he was there for it all. Sambas, Salomons, New Balances, Holm had them all. He even met Virgil Abloh in college, between getting caught up in an NCAA sneaker scandal. Elsewhere in the episode, the cohosts react to the Tom Sachs x Nike Mars Yard 3.0 rumor and the Nike SB Instagram account taking a shot at Private Selection.

    Such a good episode, homie knows his stuff and even watches the shows
  • @NoFat16
    This guest is awesome. All his answers are well thought out and super interesting. Best episode ever for me.
  • @_maxart_
    Yo give Anders a column on Complex breaking down his top 5 new releases each month. His selections are right in my wheelhouse.
  • @torosammy
    Simply just a round of applause, great episode guys
  • @supremekickz1508
    Adding this one to the GOAT episode list. Unlikely guest who knew his stuff. Never judge a book by its cover
  • @oochiewallys
    I love it when someone from my favourite t.v show appears on my favourite podcast/YouTube show. It's like the stars align perfectly just for me. We need that Workaholics movie ASAP. Keep up the good work fellas.
  • @jmasen07
    The collab I didn’t know I needed
  • @gomlbondoc
    Possibly my favorite episode so far. Bring more “sneakerheads” on like Anders!!!!
  • @Papa_O.A.M
    Such a great episode! Probably one of my favorites to date. Keep up the great work brothers!
  • @LilLou97
    Yuh yuh yuh. Morning fellow sneaker heads 🫡
  • @KJ-bz6sg
    The show was fantastic. It was mind-boggling to witness Welty's initial hostility and strong inclination towards gatekeeping, only to completely reverse his stance and advocate for sneaker reselling shops. It seems that the significance of sneaker culture and the sense of community surrounding it only matters until it directly impacts one's own personal interests.
  • @ptroughneck77
    Who remembers the Samba Millennium edition? I was a huge fan of them, were my go to kicks till i couldn't find em anymore. Love to see a retro of them.
  • @brendanlittle2498
    I love when the guests actually know about sneakers. This was such a good listen
  • @JHillNC
    I'm five years older than Anders and he is of my era and described it much the way I would. He is legit and definitely was outside. Another great episode, please don't end this season. You guys got real momentum.
  • @Kubrick78
    My favorite episode yet, Anders was a great guest, grew up watching Workaholics with my brother and never knew he was into sneaker
  • @Flemo2140
    Dope, dope episode. Welty looked like he found his kindred spirit. More guests like Anders please.
  • @falcons889
    Who remembers folding long socks to no show cause our parents thought buying no show was crazy
  • @GlobalGemology
    What a tremendous episode! Had no idea Anders knew so much history on sneakers.
