After taking a week to allow you to catch a breather and listen to a few past episodes, the
OSD Crew returns with their opinions in tact, their thoughts about the price increases, and what can be expected from the sneaker community with a number of upcoming sneaker releases.
Yeah, we believe there will be some madness taking place, but hopefully it will pale in comparison to the craziness we saw and read about regarding the
Air Jordan XIs, and the “Galaxy” Foamposites that were released earlier this year.
Taking a quick glance back to
Ep222 you’ll hear the Crew discuss the financial numbers for the footwear industry, which reached $18.4 billion,which is up from $17.5 billion in sales in 2010. And, you’ll hear our predictions for sales in 2012.
Do you have something to say about
OSD or is your sole telling you that you have to let us know how much you appreciate the weekly talk show? Well, let us know by sending us an email to info@osdlive(.)com, and you might hear your name and comment read on the show!
We love hearing from Sneaker Disorderlies!
Reebok Questions being released on May 25, 2012.
Notice the ‘pearlized’ leather toecap, which is similar to the original pair
that was released in 1996.

About Dee Wells: Dee Wells calls Worcester, MA his home but grew up in the beautiful US Virgin Islands(STT/STJ).
Heavily influenced by Hip Hop, Dee has always been fascinated by people and what they wear. Thus, began his love for fashion and, more importantly, sneakers.
It all started with him watching his parents play tennis; his father wore adidas Rod Laver sneakers, and his mother wore adidas Stan Smith sneakers. From there birthed Dee's love for leather and rubber.
Dee's first pair of sneakers were Puma Clyde sneakers, which he religiously changed the laces in, and kept clean with water, Dawn dishwashing liquid, and a toothbrush.
While Dee has amassed many pairs of sneakers, it's the stories that are the most important to Dee; he calls them Kickstories.
Dee has also been instrumental with bringing the sneaker subculture to the forefront with his involvement with Sole Collector Magazine, and his latest creation, the OSD (Obsessive Sneaker Disorder) brand. View author profile.
