This week they’re joined by Astor Chambers, a sneaker marketer and brand builder who’s been in the industry for decades at brands like Nike, Adidas, and Billionaire Boys Club. Astor traces his long history in the industry, from first connecting with Nike as a high school student to hooking up rappers like Fabolous and Jadakiss with free shoes to working on Beyoncé’s Adidas line.
