In 2006, Kix and the City interviewed Kevin Wildes. Now he’s an ESPN SportsNation producer and a regular on Bill Simmons’s podcast, typically presenting great half-baked ideas such as The Michael Jordan Channel and a physical WWE Hall of Fame. At the time of the interview, he was better known a co-creator of “It’s the Shoes”.
Kicks and the City: What kind of feeling did you catch from the sneaker community on the internet?
Kevin Wildes: It’s nice that people are passionate about the show at the very least. In the first season I went on to Niketalk and there was a post that said, This show, and then next to that, it had an emoticon that had a glowing head that would then vomit.
