Barrett and Phil are back today to give some much-deserved shoutouts at the top of the pod, but then they dive in to new brands that have some real zip.  Former Kanye West collaborator Mark Seekings has just launched his eponymous brand, SEEKINGS, a line that aims to pick up where Hedi Slimane left off when he exited Saint Laurent.  Can he inject enough 2020s modernism and his own flavor of California Cool in to a look some might call passé to have genuine success?  Next, Barrett brings up the heritage designer brand currently taking over your Explore Page, Bottega Veneta.  Creative Director and designer Daniel Lee has already been creating highly sought-after handbags for several seasons now, but his Puddle and Tire Boots have now become the latest larger-than-life status symbol for dudes looking to stunt in outrageous footwear.  Are these stompers a sign that its Bottega's turn to shine brightly in the menswear realm?  Join us for the conversation.
