Our podcast opens with an episode dedicated to sport, particularly skateboarding and basketball: a deliberate choice that Golden Lovers will immediately understand, as Golden Goose sneakers draw inspiration from these two worlds.
The guests of the episode are two athletes whose stories will sound familiar to our community: Cory Juneau, a professional skateboarder who has long collaborated with Golden Goose, and Elvis Ude, a basketball player and content creator. Completing the podcast is Marco "Barba" Colombo, a sneaker collector and footwear expert, who shares with the audience true hidden gems of the sneaker culture.
The 30-minute conversation has provided an opportunity for the guests and Marco "Barba" Colombo to reflect on their achievements, on what they consider the turning points in their professional lives, and on who, are the game-breakers who have inspired them. "Barba" also brought and showcased six sneakers from his private collection. Extremely rare models from three different sports: basketball, tennis, and skateboarding, all of which have marked a turning point in the world of sneaker culture.
But that's not all: in the episode it is also discussed how sports culture has influenced their lives and how they have managed to turn their passion into a job, of competition, their relationship with social media, and how pressure influences their professional and personal lives. Finally, there was also room for a generational comparison on the way of experiencing sports and competitiveness.
