I saw this topic on Twitter about how we get so many basic, boring kicks that we take slightly better shoes and put those on a pedestal.  Meanwhile there hasn't been that many truly mind-blowing releases that actually deserve that level of attention.  So I give my thoughts on that in this ramble here. And of course, we follow that with talking about upcoming releases and my thoughts on them. Thanks as always for listening AFS Squad!
