Your Stories Matter! with Tom of InStyleShoes | My First Kicks Podcast Ep. 240

This week I am joined by Tom aka InStyleShoes1999, we share stories about how sneakers created amazing friendships. How he found a way to get his foot in the door at a foot store. His time on NikeTalk and why it connected with him. How The Gathering came to be and what Aaron AC Cooper has shared with him. Meeting Tinker Hatfield and what it is like when he enters the room. Plus a bunch more!
