ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Outside the Box is a conversation series hosted by Nick Engvall, a sneaker industry veteran with over 20 years of experience spanning Sole Collector, Complex Sneakers, Finish Line, Stadium Goods, and StockX. Each episode is a long-form conversation with creative people from the worlds of sneakers, streetwear, media, and culture... people who have been doing the work long enough to have something real to say about it. Some episodes are about shoes. Most of them end up being about something else entirely. That's kind of the point.
