Are Nike SB Air Force 1s the next Jordan 4? We break down the Palace riot and the truth about Tesla.

In Episode 47, Kari, Dru, H and Eddie dive deep into the shifting landscape of Sneaker Culture and Street Ethics. We analyze the recent Palace x Nike Air Max 95 drop in New York, exploring why "street code" caused a riot over a shoe currently sitting at retail. The conversation pivots into the Nike SB ecosystem, comparing the evolution of the Jordan 4 SB to the upcoming SB Air Force 1. Beyond the heat, we tackle the "Supremeification" of basketball performance and the business pivot of Allbirds into the AI space. We wrap with a "Garage Talk" segment on Tesla Model S battery health, the FSD (Full Self-Driving) hardware 4 reality check, and why Progressive is beating USAA for EV owners in 2026.
