Summary: When the OSD Talk Show was created 3-years ago, little did I know that a simple, albeit more complicated than it sounds, Internet talk show, dedicated to the people that like sneakers ALOT, would motivate others to express their passion for wearing and talking about kicks! Looking back now, I shouldn't have thought otherwise, but with the creation of magazines such as Sneaker Freaker, Sole Collector, Kicksclusive, Sneaker Marmalade and countless other publications that I'm not aware of, the footwear industry is always changing. As long as people have feet, there is going to be a need for shoes and, especially, sneakers! In this episode, we discuss sneaker news such as Sonny Vaccaro returning to claim the summer basketball crown and his pending deal with Li Ning, along with Usain Bolt renewing his contract with Puma until 2013. Also, we're joined by GLC of G.O.O.D. Music and listen as he talks kicks, his new distribution deal and what he and others are doing to stop youth violence in Chicago.
