11.11 - Runway Collections, Stolen Designs, and Changing the Perception of an Instagram Brand with Adam Small (@adam_____small) Oct 08, 2024

You could have had access to this episode early and been automatically entered into our giveaways at our HeroHero!
What does it mean to be an "instagram brand" in this day and age? As brands like Adam Small's byadamsmall announce themselves to the fashion world and prove their longevity and standing through popups, runways, and cult followings, the stigma around what it means to be called an 'instagram brand' has begun to shift. Brands once thought to be insignificant or relegated to being 'internet brands' are competing with the largest names in the industry, like Balenciaga, Rick Owens, and Raf Simons for attention, fans, and recognition. Listen in as Sol and Michael are joined by Adam Small to discuss what it's like to grow a brand off of the internet, growing up in Winnipeg, why they're all so tired, putting out a full collection, going band for band with furries, haters, and so much more!

Lots of love!

10.3 - The Absence of the Modern Supermodel, The Impacts of Vintage Flipping, and Reaganomics in Fashion Feb 20, 2024

I hope this podcast finds you well. I am writing to you today to outline the third episode of Season 10 of the Pair of Kings podcast (hosts Sol Thompson (@solthompson) and Michael Smith (@_smithstagram) cc'd on this release) and discuss potential avenues for exploration and continued collaboration.
Topics Discussed

The new podcast dress code and the necessity of changing the modern perception of wearing suits - both casually and formally.
Chrome Hearts Tastefluencers and Sol's borderline parasocial relationship with a couple of Japanese Needles and Chrome Hearts collectors.
The inability for the best dressed people to take good fitpics.
Replica fashion dogwhistles.
The death of the "capital S" Supermodel in current fashion and the differences in both casting and fashion media coverage.
Reaganomics only applying to the fashion market.
Michael's new Rick Owens shoe pickups.
Sonic the Hedgehog putting that shit on.
Stolen valor on raw denim.
Helmut Lang.
Yoshitomo Nara.
Marc Jacobs.
Grunge revival by way of bucking 2023's biggest trend in "Quiet Luxury".

There's a lot more, but I hope this outline helps you get a sense of the conversation that took place. I hope you enjoy the future collaborations between Sol and Michael. I'll leave it up to you to continue the conversation, either on Discord or in the Insta DMs.
Lots of love,
Sol Thompson

We're back with the first guest episode of Season 10! Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they're joined by Charlie (@divineeprovidence), who recently was voted as the best dressed person in New York City. We are not joking, this was an actual vote that they won.
Tune in to hear the conversation which touches on everything from gender expressionism through fashion, classical menswear and its conventions/rules, historical and cultural influences on fashion - like Star Wars and Japanese fashion - making incredible props, costumes, and objects by hand, grad school, thrifting and where to shop in the city, changing shoe sizes due to pregnancy, beef with internet personalities and menswear influencers, and a 5 foot tall drive jacket.
We hope you enjoy the episode - let us know what you think on our discord or in an email!
Lots of love,
Sol

We're so unbelievably back. In this lively episode of the Pair of Kings podcast, hosts Sol Thompson (@solthompson) and Michael Smith (@_smithstagram) dive into a wide range of topics - high fashion critiques of fantasy characters, the unexpected popularity of beams at Blue in Green, and the bizarre Hasidic tunnels in Brooklyn.

It's so hard to say goodbye to season 9: so much has happened! We're very very happy to have you join us to close it out, though. Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they talk about walking runway shows (and trying not to laugh), how everyone has gotten so much better at dressing, the necessity of ready-to-wear for designers who want to survive, how the past year was for fashion as a whole, Dune (fear is the mindkiller), how the rise of social media has killed "if you know you know", spending $16,000 at the Balenciaga friends and family sale, Kozaburo, Jose (@eljosecriales), Arc'Teryx in the shower, and so much more!
We'll see you in January with the new season! Lots of love!

The best fashion podcast in the world is back with TWO WHOLE HOURS of pod. Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they talk with Christian (@vansatthemetgala) about his brand, Raised Online, Dracula Flow 4, Spotify Wrapped, the Met Gala, Nike Techs, Tommy Cash, people you truly hate (Jared Leto and Henry Kissinger, stand up), the starting 5 of the most annoying people in fashion, basketball, swaggy golfers, Drake's custom Bottega polo that he had made for a Statefarm commercial, Ludacris' terrible Rick fit, and so much more (seriously, that's all just from the first 10 minutes).
Also, there's an excess of explicit material in this episode that's a good deal of fun but probably not suited for younger audiences.

Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they sit down with Martin (@nerfmartin), Brandon (@childshbrandino), and Vic (@sincerelyvm) as they delve into the experiential fashion retailer for those passionate about emerging designers, as their Instagram so eloquently puts it.
Tune in as the group discusses creating a space for young fashion creatives, their favorite pieces in the store, how they discover new and up-and-coming designers, their guardian angel of a landlord (I know, we couldn't believe it either), not walking the beaten path, layering, creating a visual identity, how they set themselves apart, how to throw fun parties (spoiler: it's having really good food and drinks), and everything else!
We hope you enjoy, and be sure to check out the popup if you're in NYC! Komune can be found at 92 Orchard St. - tell them we sent you!
Lots of love!

9.3 - The Official Pair of Kings Fashion Podcast Drinking Game Aug 31, 2023

We wanted to do it as a season opener, but John's planning (and going to be in!) a wedding! He's also wearing Tabi boots to the wedding!
Regardless, we're back, and drinking along to Michael's first guest episode! Join Sol (@solthompson), John (@johnhogeboom), and Michael (@_smithstagram ✔️) as they venture through the old episode, critique themselves, and play the harshest critics - fueled by White Claw, $3 table wine, and vomit beer.
Tune in as the boys experience identity crises, berate themselves (mostly Sol, but I think the other guys get in on it too), and self-reflect, all while talking about Rick (duh), selvedge denim, capping for clout, making friends, trying to impress Michael, anime, manga, the pandemic, fashion, style, and try and keep the pod significantly more on track than older episodes. Jury's out on that.
If you choose to play along, please drink responsibly and in a safe space. Do not drink and drive.
Cheers, and lots of love!

9.1 - Pair of Kings Season 9: We Wanted to Skip Season 9 Like Apple and Microsoft, But Messed Up So We're Now Actually Having Season 9 Aug 17, 2023

Picture a small, Victorian-era boy in a tartan vest and that hat that all the guys in Boston wear despite it being 2023. Ok - got it?
We're back! We're back! Read all about it! Pair of Kings are BACK!
Was that gag worth it? Probably not.
Michael (@_smithstagram) and Sol (@solthompson) are back to kick off Season 9: They're coming in with a new soundboard, new gadgets, and the first season with two cohosts in the same city! Wowzers!
Tap in as the boys talk about the ethics behind reps and fast fashion (SHEIN in particular), the evolution of what's desirable for men, Chief Keef, enhanced chemical weathering processes, Scandinavian and New York fashion trends, realizing that other people perceive you - yes, other people can perceive you - $3 dinners, separation of production and consumption, and a whole lot more!
We keep it shockingly on-topic, which is quite cool, and stay tuned for shiny, new video content over on the YouTube and TikTok!
Lots of love,

8.7 - She Didn't Funk With Me 'Til I Got It Poppin' Feb 23, 2023

The original idea for this episode was a game - which, yes, Sol (@solthompson), Michael (@_smithstagram), and John (@johnhogeboom) eventually play - but conversations involving Funko Pops managed to derail basically the entire episode. So, here's what I'll do: I'm going to do quick descriptions for both.
The boys are back, discussing Freddy Funko, Leslie Knope, and obviously, the best investment money can make: Funko Pops! Join Sol, Michael, and John as they discuss cornering the market, best investments, and grading their rarest Funko Pops on this episode of the Pop of Kings Popcast!
It's time for some AI-generated fun, as Sol, Michael, and John link up to play "That game Sol talked to us about a couple of weeks ago that he said he wanted to play, but he needed all three of us to be available and John was kind of busy searching for a job." The rules are simple: Sol prompted the world's premiere, non-sentient (we hope) artificial intelligence with some questions about popular fashion items and/or brands, and John and Michael play to see who can break through the technology-powered veil to score points and prove their knowledge!
It's an absolute blast of an episode - which includes a spit take - and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did recording.

It's time for some very highbrow, analytical, probing fashion talk using everyone's favorite words. Just kidding. Had you going, didn't I? Join Sol, John, and Michael and they discuss cool clothes and accessories that they've found recently, tiktok and instagram fashion, and investing (literally) into some Rick boots. It's a classic boys episode, so tune in, hang out, and enjoy!

It's time for the first guest episode of the season, and we're joined by a pioneer in the streetwear game - literally. Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they chat with Bobby Hundreds (@bobbyhundreds) about the landscape of streetwear in the early 2000's, the 'holy shit' moment, and finding the next Virgil.

8.1 - Pair of Kings 8: The Fourth Law of Thermodynamics Jan 12, 2023

WE ARE FINALLY BACK, EVERYONE! Welcome to a new season, where the boys are back and badder than ever (that's Ice Spice/Michael Jackson bad, not first-episode-of-hell's-kitchen-dish bad). Join Sol (@solthompson), Michael (@_smithstagram), and John (@johnhogeboom) as they discuss holiday pickups, 2023 fashion bingo, a ill-fated bet that's most likely involving Long John Silver's, and so much more! We hope you enjoy the new season and the new episode! Lots of love!

7.22 - Is There Any Culture That Hasn't Been Appropriated By Marc Jacobs? Nov 18, 2022

The title is sort of a joke, I guess. We cover this topic at some point. Anyway, join Sol (@solthompson), John (@johnhogeboom), and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they talk about everything from how to make a streetwear brand distinct, Marc Jacobs becoming the Drake (insultingly) of fashion, and Raf Calvin (among other topics).
Sorry for the short description, I'm studying for the GRE and am stressed because it feels like my life hinges on it!

7.21 - Reading The Descriptions Of Brands On The SSENSE Website And Sol And John Try To See If They Can Guess Anything About The Brand At All: The Game Nov 03, 2022

That's right - after a short hiatus, the boys are back with the classic "Reading The Descriptions Of Brands On The SSENSE Website And Sol And John Try To See If They Can Guess Anything About The Brand At All: The Game". We're pretty sure the game originated in 14th Century Poland, so we're glad to be carrying on the tradition. The rules are simple: Michael reads the description of a brand on SSENSE (with obvious details like the name edited out), and John and Sol try and figure out who the hell he's talking about. Points are awarded on accuracy, obviously. Play along at home, award yourself points, and laugh at the fact that Sol starts naming brands that aren't listed on SSENSE.
Love you a lot! Enjoy!

7.20 - Hating on Every Single SSENSE Brand (No, Really) Pt. 1 Oct 20, 2022

So we lied a little bit. We only go from A to E on this pod, but can you blame us? With SSENSE having over 300 men's brands, there was so way that we could be angry or vindictive enough to hate on every brand in one episode. That being said, join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@bassproshops) as they work their way through SSENSE, hating on everything from Dr. Pibb techwear to the French (need we say more?)
I'm honestly not sure how much else I should write here, so let's just copy and paste in all the brands we cover in hopes that it does something for the searchability of the episode.

7.19 - Lying For Fun (In A Joyous Chaotic Way) with Alexandra Hildreth (@alexandra.hildreth/@guyfieri.superfan) Oct 13, 2022

I'm feeling like breaking up the normalcy of these descriptions, so here's a haiku about this episode.
A Guest Episode
Sol and Alexandra Hildreth
I Need 50 Bands Now
I finished that and feel dumber for it. Regardless, Sol (@solthompson) is joined by fashion writer, style icon, and Guy Fieri's own super fan, Alexandra Hildreth (@alexandra.hildreth). Join the two as they talk about lying for fun, dressing up with your dog, childhood fits, and more! It was an absolute joy to record the episode, and I hope you enjoy listening!
Lots of love!

7.18 - Clothing Shopping With Fashion Influencers Off 8 Benadryl In Dover Street Market (with Joe La Puma) Oct 06, 2022

Oh man, she's freakin' the allbirds man for allbirds again. Michael and Sol are back, right next door to Mr. Purple, chatting about everything from flirting with someone because they're wearing fly fishing gear to setting up a Prada Marfa but this time on the moon. This episode comes with the conception of one of the greatest ideas for a fashion game (to call this a game is a stretch) show as well: Shopping With Fashion Influencers In Dover Street Market off 8 Benadryl (with Joe La Puma). We promise, this game is a lot more interesting than you'd initially expect.
Hop on in to the spider dimension with the boys and join the fellow shadow people (nightmare, nightmare, nightmare) as you try and understand what's going on with the undercover display on the third floor. The pod is an absolutely terrifying, horror-inducing, will-I-ever-be-normal-oh-god-I-don't-have-hands-anymore-why-don't-I-have-hands-anymore experience, so we hope you enjoy!
Lots of Love!
Also, as a disclaimer, this is a joke. Taking a lot of Benadryl is obviously dangerous, so don't do it. Thanks for being mindful, y'all.

7.17 - Hot Fashion Takes to the Tune of Midwest Emo Sep 29, 2022

Hey everyone, we are 6'8" All Femur, merch is in the back. Here's our first song, "Hedi Slimane is Actually Good". Shout out to our sound guy.
The boys are back (that's right, all three of them!) to discuss their own and YOUR hot fashion takes: this ranges from the least hot hot take ("heart shoe bad" is getting old, y'all) to the most hot take ("Pair of Kings isn't the best pod out right now"). Do you agree? Do you disagree? You can't really join in on the convo live, sorry about that, but you are more than capable of hopping into the discord or the instagram DMs to chat with us.
Anyway, here are all of the lyrics to Island in the Sun to Weezer since nobody really reads the entire description.
Hip-hip
Hip-hip
Hip-hip
Hip-hip

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Hip-hip
Hip-hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip-hip
Hip-hip
Hip-hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

Hip-hip
(Hip-hip) we'll never feel bad anymore
Hip-hip
No, no (hip-hip)
(Hip-hip) we'll never feel bad anymore
(Hip-hip)
No, no (hip-hip)
No, no (hip-hip)
Love you!

Three people. 70 brands. 140 opinions. One absolutely insane collab jumpsuit during fitcheck.

That's right. We are right. We run the podcast. This means we are the authority. Join Michael, John, and Sol as they discuss 69 brands and 1 linkedin cover photo in the ULTIMATE modern fashion brand tier list. Let us know what you think about our rankings over on instagram. We probably won't listen.
We love you! <3 <3

I'm finally recovered from COVID! It's time for a little tête-à-tête between Sol (@solthompson) and Kartik (@karuresearch), where the guys discuss creating a brand, exploring and celebrating Indian identity, and how much they hate elite, Ivy League Universities (kidding) ((maybe not)). With a strong eye for Indian fabrics and cuts as well as modern streetwear and fashion cues, Kartik is definitely one of the more exciting designers coming up today. With an immensely interesting story and vision for a brand, this is a fantastic conversation, so tap in to an awesome episode!

Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) are back with a time-honored, historic, eons-played game of We've Polled The Instagram Community on Trends That They Either Want to Stay Dead or Come Back and Then We Will Rate Said Opinions on A Scale of How Likely or Unlikely We Are to Take Them on a Date or The Extent to Which We Would Date Said Person: The Game. That's right! The same game your grandparents and grandparent's grandparents used to play! Join the boys as they judge others' opinions while being completely oblivious of the fact that they're being judged by thousands, and hear them discuss proportions, silhouettes, and more made up fashion terms that people definitely aren't just using to sound smart. It's a classic episode where talk about Rick Owens is kept to a minimum (I know, pretty huge accomplishment for Sol in particular), so tune in and let us know what you think of not only the opinions on clothes, but the proposed date ideas.

Hello, everyone! We're back with another episode this week - thank you to everyone who donated to save wild salmon in the lower snake river. It means a ton.
We've linked back up with Jacob (@ecchi.chad) to discuss... well... just about everything. We cover keyboards, yu-gi-oh, lunarcore, hyperpop, mister purple, getting a little too sauced, and more. It's a wild, random, and very fun conversation with a longtime and very close friend of the podcast. We hope you all enjoy!

7.11 - Nearly Dying (No, That Is Not An Exaggeration) For Vintage Levi's with Brit Eaton (@originalindianajeans) Aug 18, 2022

So, we weren't joking with the episode title. Meet one of the most important people in the world of vintage denim, Brit Eaton (@originalindianajeans). He's a Levi's collector who's made a name for himself by being just crazy enough to risk his life for some insanely rare jeans, including one of ten pairs of buckleback Levi's, a original Olympic pair of Levi's, and countless other historical finds. He's a treasure trove of good stories, conversation, and cele-brit-y shoutouts (see what I did there? I went to Yale), and we hope you enjoy this conversation with Brit, even if the conversation is mostly him talking, Michael laughing at swear words, and Sol either grunting in agreement or hanging his mouth open in shock.

7.10 - The Definitive Fashion Tier List Aug 11, 2022

'ello, 'ello, loves. It's time for Sol (@solthompson) and John (@johnhogeboom) to go through a 60 brand tier listing of (most) fashion brands that exist today. We know, we know, we've missed some brands (Daiwa, Bode, Patagonia, Ann D, and the list goes on), but hey - this wasn't our list and we were too lazy to upload 100+ brand images and then go through all of them. Sorry, we're just being honest.
The boys tackle the cultural changes that the brands have inspired, relevancy, continued success, and historical impact (not so eloquently, mind you) of each of the brands, so tune in, and either agree to disagree, or disagree to disagree.
It's a great episode, and we hope you enjoy!

It's. About. That. Time. Everyone.
Join Sol (@solthompson), Michael (@_smithstagram), Ty, and Hiro of (@livingkoa) as they talk about founding, creating, and expanding their wonderful natural skincare company, Koa. The two talk about their roots in Hawaii, fashion grails, time in the investment banking world (they must have not heard our jokes in past episodes), and obviously, how they're developing Koa.
It's a near two-hour (in actuality, more than two hour) pod, so tune in, learn about what sunscreen actually is (I promise, I really had no idea), Hiro's mastery of the soundboard, and Ty's surprise as he learns that Sol is 22 (and was in middle school for Linsanity).
Love you all, and we hope you enjoy!

7.8 - Look at Trends From The Past 8 Or So Years And Decide If You Would Bring Them Back Or Not: The Game - Part 2 Jul 28, 2022

Aw yeah, baby. The boys are back, baby. Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they hop back into the podcasting area - nay, the thunderdome - as they tackle trends from 2019. Baby. That's right. Sol went through and edited a bunch of songs that he may get copyright struck for into the podcast after the fact, baby. Hell yeah. (baby).
It's up to the boys to discuss casual suiting (yes, Frank Ocean, we'll allow the one Met Gala fit to count even though you aren't wearing a blazer), Cargo Pants (the uniform of sweaty neckbeards until fashion reclaimed them in 2017, apparently, but don't tell dudes who have "been on that shit since '14"), and neck pouches (also known as "I have a lot of money, please come rob me even though I've made it fairly difficult for you" wallets or the Druski special). Will Sol and Michael work their necromantic powers and resurrect these trends from the dead? Will Michael stop doxxing himself? Will Sol learn how to do SEO in these descriptions? The answer to all of these is a resounding "probably not", but we hope your outlook on this episode contrasts our attitude to what sounded like the end of a Dragonball episode.

7.4 - The One Where The Boys Are Sad Jun 30, 2022

The podcast is back, everyone! Join Sol (@solthompson) and Michael (@_smithstagram) as they spiral into a pit of despair chatting about selling out, the future of the environment, and feeling absolutely, utterly, and completely uninspired at the moment. That being said, this is somehow a fashion podcast run by two guys - one of which is flat broke and is willingly avoiding fashion because he knows he'll spend money on new stuff - and they do have some spicy, interesting takes, especially when it comes to Balenciaga, Rick Owens, and selling out. Well, maybe interesting: that's up to you to decide.

The boys get delusional and lie on this week's episode, featuring Vogue runway writer extraordinaire José Criales-Unzueta.

Bushwick is mentioned, yes, but we promise we aren't going to start purchasing low-income housing to build artisan, cruelty-free, custom septum piercing/gluten-free coffee shops. Tap in, learn a little something, and enjoy a wonderful episode!
