Actual Fan of Sneakers: Recent Episodes
Anthony Levine
This is a sneaker podcast featuring Anthony Levine, longtime collector and former Sneaker Youtuber. I love sneakers from all brands and created this podcast to share my pickups, thoughts on upcoming releases and sneaker related news, and what pairs I plan on getting. When I have sneaker lifestyle tips I will feature those as well.
Current schedule: Weekly on Tuesday Mornings
In this episode I review my latest two pickups of the Air Jordan 1 Rare Air and Nike SB Dunk Low Hayley Wilson, as well as some upcoming Jordan pickups on the way and of course new pairs that are coming out! Also peep the background beat, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this MPC!

This is a happy episode, as so many thing that were happening that I'd kind of fallen off of are back in full swing! I'll discuss some pairs I have coming in, new pairs coming up, and what it's like making beats on the MPC now that I've got a couple under my belt.

I feel like it wasn't too many episodes ago to where I was like "I don't see a need for me to own Foams given my current style". Yet here we are, I'm back with Coppers and a pair of Royals on the way and scheming on some Black Volts while I'm at it. I guess... never say never? Also I talk a bit about using Goat and StockX to see demand on a sneaker.

I am interested in an SB colorway again so I talk about that in this episode! Also I get into why I'm shifting my attention away from my sneaker site and onto music. It's gonna help me enjoy collecting kicks more again (I think). I also discuss a bit more on drumless hip hop production and some current albums I been into with that style including Roc Marciano's new Marciology release.

So basically, I'm trying to sell stuff that would have gotten way more bites if it was even 6 months ago, but now it's just sitting! I put it out there on Twitter and while I understand why people would say the sneaker game is "oversaturated", I think it has more to do with people having less disposable income overall for a preowned pair of kicks.

Super sick this week, literally! In any case, here's another topic I saw on Twitter that I wanted to tackle for this ramble! Sneaker companies are very good for collabs and can often raise the profile even further of a person or organization they are collabing with. But many times, the sneaker company retains the design rights and can re-use those designs on other models without the original creator's input.
And of course, we follow that with talking about upcoming releases and my thoughts on them.

I saw this topic on Twitter about how we get so many basic, boring kicks that we take slightly better shoes and put those on a pedestal.

Someone asked me if I'd do an episode on Double Ups on sneakers. This week I'm going over what that means, and my experience with buying multiple pairs of the same shoe, or at least the same colorway...
And of course, we follow that with talking about upcoming releases and my thoughts on them.

One of the fun things about a journey is the journey itself, rather than the end goal. So learning about sneakers and all the lore behind your favorite models is part of the fun. And even more fun is going down the rabbit hole yourself, rather than just asking someone for all the answers. This episode is about that!

I am a big fan of the Air Max 1! I wrote an article about them recently on my website here:
https://www.allaboutanthony.com/why-air-max-1-so-hard-to-find/
So I decided to follow it up with a podcast episode. I think Nike has been killing it with the Air Max 1 colorways, but lets face it, the AM1 is killing it in general and always has been!!!

I use sites like StockX, GOAT and eBay to get an idea of what type of sneakers are popular. Say what you will about these kinds of sites, but their sorting functions can help get an idea of what people are actually out here buying, and here I use that to determine what Nike Dunks are on people's minds at this point in time. Here's the original article if you want some more details on the topic, I update this one periodically so it might change depending on when you read it:

I've been having one of those moments where I've been doing a lot of reflecting. Now that I'm in a sort of semi-retirement from buying new kicks for a while, I've had some time to reminisce on over a decade of collecting. Thought I would share this ramble with ya'll!

As it turns out, maybe sneakers is ok, and the actual problem is with spending habits and attitude towards spending. I'm no expert, but it feels like money habits observed and developed as a child seem to creep up and play a role in how I spend today. If I'm not blowing money on one thing, it's something else. But self-awareness of this is key to breaking the cycle.

I got asked about this on IG, and rather than get specific with what pairs to look for, I figured I would outline my discovery path when it comes to old and obscure models that I wound up adding to the collection at some point.

Even though I had stated last episode that I was on "below retail mode", here I question that as that would still mean constantly buying kicks. Or in other words, a treadmill of continuously buying sneakers. But what if I want to get off the train and just hop on for the occasional pair? A little more on that philosophy of building a collection in this episode.
This will build to the next major purchase I'm thinking of getting... but it's not for a couple months.

For as much as I dislike the fit on the Air Jordan 4 as far as comfort, I still love how the model looks, and it has a lot of history to it! It's no surprise the sneaker has received a lot of attention in the past couple of years. I wrote an article discussing the 4 OG colorways of the AJ4 and now here's a Podcast episode diving even deeper into the original Air Jordan 4 releases!
I've got a couple pairs on deck I'm considering for my July pickup, if you've been following along these should be no surprise but I will summarize the state of things a bit here.

Here's another one where I felt compelled to answer a question I get a lot. In the day, I would get asked on many reviews if a given sneaker was waterproof or how it held up in wet weather. I wrote an article about it, and decided to expand in this episode.

I'm always writing articles that I think answer questions people are looking for answers to on my website. Last week, I did a piece on what are good first Air Jordans to get. In this podcast, we go over it in a bit more detail and I reveal what I think are good first Jordans for the collection, assuming money is no object. I finally got the Afew Asics collab I been talking about for weeks, so I'll give a rundown on that shoe here.

Like last week, the topic today is also inspired by an article I wrote on my website about why there is the high sticker price on Air Maxes.
