On this week's episode, hosts Jian DeLeon and Noah Thomas go back and forth on the week's hottest releases. On the top of that list of course the Ben & Jerry's x Nike SB Dunk Low — better known as the “Chunky Dunky.” The cow print kicks made even more waves this week when lucky F&F members got their pairs in giant-sized pints, along with actual cream.

Meanwhile, YOON's upcoming Dunk High collab gives the hosts some nostalgia for a certain Puma sneaker designed by Hussein Chalayan, one of the most underrated designers that archive heads should really show more love to. There's also a brick of a shoe in. adidas' latest Stan Smith, a half-hearted attempt to court some #muleboyz love that ends up looking like a sneaker that's only 90% finished.

After breaking down what “crispy nylon” is and why it's so important to KITH's Spring 2020 collection, the conversation shifts to Asian-American and black communities finding solidarity during this time of strife. Following up on a piece we published this week about the depth of the impact Asian-Americans have had in streetwear and sneakers, the 100th-best Filipino/black talent duo since Chad Hugo and Pharrell have a brief discussion on how we can work together to fight oppression — similar to the points actor and activist Kendrick Sampson makes in one of this week's Vibe Check episodes.
