Ep. 179: All Things Sneaker Collecting with Nick Engvall of Sneaker History and Elhadji Mare from StockX

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast we’re talking about the culture of collecting with Nick Engvall of Sneaker History and Elhadji Mare, a Social Content Manager for StockX. Nick and Elhadji both come from the sneaker world, and as many listeners are likely aware, there is a ton of overlap between the watch and sneaker hobbies. Both areas of enthusiasm have gone through enormous growth over the past several years, so we thought it would be fun to have Nick and Elhadji on the podcast to talk about what’s important to them as sneaker collectors and enthusiasts, what’s changed in the hobby, and what watch collectors and sneaker heads can learn from one another. It’s a great conversation that does not require any level of sneaker expertise to enjoy, so we hope you dive in whether you’re a novice or pro when it comes to footwear.
