In the final episode of season 2, Jason and Kish sit down with Tom Astrella and Hector Rubio of The Footsoldiers, one of the largest footwear design consultancies in the world. Having worked with wide range of clients, from luxury fashion houses like Alexander McQueen and Hussein Chalyan to elite athletes like Sharapova and Djokovic, we can't think of a better way to round the series off than a deep-dive into all things sneaker design.
Thanks to all our amazing guests and to all the listeners for the support this series - it's been real.
