    What was one thing you bought off of Karmaloop?
  • Since fulls size run is over I’ve been watching this podcast everyday. Going back and watching every episode from the last few years. Keep bringing on guests like this who are apart of the culture and have cool stories to talk about
  • I watched this episode with a little tear in my eye. I grew up in a small town in France and I started my sneaker collection with the red Supra Skytop bought from Karmaloop in 2009. Complex and Karmaloop were the two things that made us feel connected to the culture, I spent soooo much time on their. This is a full circle moment, thank you !!
  • So many deep cuts in this episode reminding me when i first got into street wear. This guy is so unhinged, such a fun episode.

    Shouts out to Karmaloop. When I got my first job at 7/11 and wanted to get into streetwear Karmaloop and CCS kept a young man fly on a budget.

    Man I used to rock with Karmaloop hard
  • @Phamousillday
    You guys talking about Full Size Run and Trinidad at about 9:15 makes me miss the show even more 😢
  • Just hearing about Supra brings back memories i used to wear supra a lot as a kid it was a great bmx and skate shoe and they had a ton of great colors. Seems like they really havent changed or ever took off just kinda stayed where they were.
  • @robmotta9245
