"Welcome to SNKRS Live. My name is Will Stowe, the Will everyone knows and Hackney's very own. And yes, I am live here in the New York Studio".

"I'm Caroline Cole. I do a lot of work behind the scenes with these guys but happy to be here, live from New York with you in person. Let's get into the Bring 'Em Out".

"This is what I brought. The Air Jordan 1 A Ma Maniére collab. I went with the Supreme Dunk Low".

"I don't think it gets more New York than a Dunk. And it doesn't get more New York than Supreme. It's time to see what our community has been getting up to with Kickcheck".

"We're starting it with @Youngre81 with the Air Max 1/97 'SW'. Bringing it back to a previous Bring 'Em Out chat, @MistrZen, all the way from the UK, Air Max 1 'NYC Chinatown'".

"Right now, we're about to bring out a very, very special guest. Trainer connoisseur, cultural connoisseur. Hit the fire emoji for John Gotty. Thank you very much. Glad to be here".

"I am a writer, content creator, cultural educator, sneaker historian and a lifetime sneaker enthusiast, for sure".

"Everyone knows you as the Air Trainer 1 guy. So, can you talk to us about when you first fell in love with the Air Trainer 1? I'm old enough to remember when they first released ..."

"... and you would see them in magazines commonly on tennis players like McEnroe, Agassi, etc. And you would see the ads, and you would fall in love with it then".

"How many pairs of Air Trainer 1s do you think you currently own? I probably had about 50 to 60 different versions of this particular colourway".

"In that period when the shoe released, there was a lot of iconic ads that came out. Is there anything you remember specifically again with what's on screen right now?"

"This is probably one of my favourites. You were trying to do every activity in this shoe because they told you we could do every activity in this shoe".

"Is there anything even within like the toe box that you noticed is different from the 2022 pair to the 2015 pair? Here, you can see they went back to the row of three, which is again a call back to the original".

"John, thank you so much for your time. It's been great speaking to you about the Air Trainer 1. Absolutely incredible, man. Thank you so much. Thank you all for allowing me to share. Let's get into This Week's Heat".

"This is the Air Jordan 3 'Dark Mocha'. Pink and brown is like my all-time favourite colour combination. It is so beautiful".

"The AJ11 Low '72–10'. Just the classic kind of patent that you see around the upper, the nice translucent sole as well".

"I've got pair of 95s. These are the 'Off-Noir and Limestone'. Very classic, and kept it to the foundations of what a 95 should look like".

"AJ1 'Bleached Coral'. We get to the upper. Classic AJ1 colourways with that black toe and heel tab, and we see a Grey Fog with a suede finish as well".

"Will, thanks so much for coming all the way to New York to be with us. Hope you had a good time. I have, thank you. Thanks everyone".
