On this episode of Keepin’ It Retro, we sit down with the founders of Eastbay, Art Juedes and Rick Gering, for a conversation that takes you straight back to where it all started. They break down their humble beginnings and how they built Eastbay from the ground up, turning a simple catalog into a cornerstone of sneaker and sports culture. We also dive into their new book, The Book of Eastbay, which tells the full story behind the brand that shaped a generation.

This one is pure nostalgia. The stories, the insight, and the moments we never thought we’d get to ask about all came to life in this episode. If you ever flipped through an Eastbay catalog, circling what you wanted, this is a must-listen.

On this episode of the podcast, we take a trip back in time highlighting the most nostalgic cards from the 1991 Score Baseball set, break down iconic movie studio intros and debate which one reigns supreme, and revisit Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach. We tap into the simplicity of analog appliances, the lost art of CD and cassette booklets, and the pressure of putting together that perfect first day of school outfit. We also rewind to 1977 and the cultural explosion of Star Wars, review PCU in the Walkbuster Movie Club, and we break down “double cheeked up” gate. The Super Retro Hotline is back in full effect, Fit Checks were absolutely on point, and as always… a ton more.
