Stop paying $3,000 for designer pants. In episode 40, we’re exposing the luxury fashion "scams," hunting for 75% off steals, and debating if ASAP Rocky can actually design a shoe.

Hugh and the crew dive deep into the current state of the market, from the "unheard of" brands taking over to the massive Saks Off Fifth extension sale. We discuss the ethics of "broke" fashion influencers wearing Balenciaga while living in laundry baskets and why the "Blog Era" nostalgia is driving sneaker prices into the thousands.

The squad also breaks down the recent Union Frag and Royal drops, the "mental gymnastics" of buying fakes on StockX, and why certain Air Max 1s—like the legendary Patta Cherrywoods—would actually "sit" if they retroed today. Stick around for some legendary music industry stories involving ASAP Ferg, Big Body Bes, and the chaos of a Muslim-Hip-Hop wedding.
