This was a good one, really liked the Wall Street part. I've seen his name for years (he had a Crail Top 5 interview) and knew a little bit about him. I like it when interview shows bring in guests that aren't pros but are still part of skating and aren't too industry-based, like SkateTalk with Leo Fitzpatrick.
Gourmet was tight. I could be wrong but I think they were the first company to use the cork colorway for shoes. I still have a pair and wear them, although the edges of the tongue are razor sharp.
But yeah, those shoes posted earlier look horrible.
And I know Italian craftsmanship is well-respected, but maybe the rise of fake branding coming out of Italy is killing the "made in Italy" selling point.
