The UNPLUGG’D Podcast Episode 20: Nike in the Age of #MeToo
Ethan Cano joins the pod to discuss the ousting of multiple executives from the sportswear staple, Kanye’s influence on Adidas stock prices, and more
Resident streetwear contributor Ethan Cano marks his debut on the pod at the tail end of a wild week for the apparel giant from Beaverton. They talk about the surprise of this news coming from a brand that’s always branding itself as forward-thinking (4:53), discuss whether Nike is catching up to Adidas in the sportswear market (9:23), remark on Kanye’s respective influence on Adidas’ rise and stock rises (16:30), judge whether or not Drake’s apparent jump from Nike will shake up the market even more (25:00), and end with some new sneaker releases to look out for and talk about whether or not the OFF WHITE x Nike collaboration will run out of steam (31:13).
We over here at UNPLUGG’D are excited to announce the creation of three new podcasts! “The UNPLUGG’D Podcast” isn’t going anywhere; however, it’s going to now be once a month and feature interviews with well-known people within their respective industries.
Taking its place is “The G-L Review,” a show operating in similar fashion — panelists join Nathan Graber-Lipperman and review what happened during the week. Expect three to four episodes per week, each clocking in around 17 minutes.
Finally, Ethan Cano will be hosting a podcast with a working title of “Sneakers, Streetwear, and Soundwaves,” with different regulars dropping in to discuss all things at the intersection of rap and streetwear. Episodes will be around 30 minutes long, once a week.
As always, you can find and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Google Play, TuneIn, and Stitcher. Keep following the blog @unpluggdwithngl as more updates come out!
