"Welcome, welcome to SNKRS Live Heating Up. My name is Will Stowe, Will everyone knows, and Hackney's very own. Everybody, I am Tiona Deniece, and we are here and we're ready to heat it up. What I got in hand right here is a Cactus Corporation and I'm going to trigger some really interesting stuff."

"It's a live drop. It's happening right now. If anybody wants to grab me at 8.5, because clearly I can't. I'm working."

"I have a very special person I want to bring out. Tiona and Jamiersen have been holding it down from New York, for United States. So I thought I need someone to back me up. Joined here with my sneakers partner to bring you all the joy and laughter, that's A to the Z."

"It's Az. Watching that back, I'm like, wow, I've done quite a lot of sneaker stuff. Finally, I can check off being on Heating Up. Right now we're about to get into Bring 'Em Out."

"And I changed the laces in these. Let's see, what you got Az."

"I'm going to say Concepts. I going to go with these, the 'Heavies'. I just love the nod to absolutely every type of fabric."

"And we just dropped them now. I'm so jealous. I hope you are out here buying these right now. This is going to be Tiona versus Az for the first time."

"The winner is Tiona with 53%. I think it's time for us to get into Kickcheck now."

"@N8frost and they're rocking the Air Max 1 and Patta 'Aqua Noise'. I feel like, you've seen this guy before, no? Yeah, we've seen him before. Slow down Tito."

"All right. Right now we just dropped the Dunk Low 'Jackie Robinson'. We've got another drop. Now, this isn't the pair that we're dropping, but we are dropping some Undefeateds. That's all the Kickchecks."

"The people need to know more about you. So you've been a SNKRS Live host for a bit, so what have been some of your favorite projects. The Patta Wave Journey was super, super special to me because I used to work in store at Patta in London when it opened."

"And then I went from ringing up on the cashier to interviewing the owners of the brand."

"Before we get into anything else, I've heard a rumor that maybe you might be taking the show. If I get the call, bro. I'll be here. Well I'm giving you the call now. You ready? I'll be here then. 15th. Catch me."

"No, we've been showing a lot of love to North America, but it's time for us to do it for the home team. Any second now, you guys will see these up on your screen. These are about to drop in Europe."

"These are dropping now. Let's see some Heat."

"First up, we've got the NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe. Tom Sachs has an art for creating really beautiful shoes that you just want to beat up. So it's like you flex with it, but then they become a beater at the same time."

"Let's get to the second pair. We've got some Cortez. This is the 'Aloe Verde' pair. Really nice tumbled leather throughout the whole shoe."

"The Zoom KD3 'Challenge red'. What I love most about this is the red upper with the iridescent quarter panels and you've also got the KD 35 branding on the heel, which is inspired by the buttons on a video game controller."

"I love seeing the high cut AJ 1 in the '85 shape. Right now we're dropping the AJ one 'Black and White' only for Europe."

"We've got a very delicious Air Jordan 2. The detail of how we, the gradient goes into the black in this accent, and then back into the green. Ah. Well, who designed that? Because you are a genius."

"Got the 'Craft', the Air Jordan 4 'Craft'. My favorite part about the shoe is, the web suede. I think that that's a really cool detail."

"We've got the 'Oil Green' Women's Air Jordan 4. I like this shoe. I think it's really clean. Again, really great for the springtime."

" Az, you've been absolutely incredible. Az, thank you so much for coming on to the show, being a great new addition. I look forward to hosting a show with you again."

"And thank you all for coming and watching and getting all those live drops. I'm super jealous. Whoever got an eight and a half, come holler at me."
