    Pair of Kings: A Fashion and Culture Podcast

    Pair of Kings is the men’s fashion and culture podcast for the next generation of style. Hosted by Sol Thompson and Michael Smith in New York City, each weekly episode breaks down what’s actually happening in menswear—from streetwear to archive fashion—and the trends reshaping how men dress in 2026 and beyond.

    We cover the full spectrum of current men’s fashion: emerging designer brands and Grailed finds, vintage menswear, sneaker culture, and luxury collaborations, Japanese denim, and the Lower East Side revival we called before anyone else.

    Our interviews spotlight the creators, stylists, editors, and industry insiders pushing fashion forward—the new vanguard building culture from the ground up.

    While Pair of Kings is a fashion podcast, we’re also a window into the NYC scene—the Lower East Side resurgence, downtown nightlife, art world crossovers, and the community energy driving Gen-Z and millennial style culture.

    If you care about gorpcore, workwear, Salomon sneakers, Rick Owens, Stone Island, Demna’s Gucci, runway breakdowns, or just building a personal style that actually means something—this is your show.

    Think of us as the bridge between legacy fashion media and the new wave: less gatekeeping, more real talk about streetwear outfits, designer pieces, sustainable fashion, and the relationship between clothing, identity, and community. New episodes every other week.

    Topics we cover: men’s fashion trends, streetwear culture, archive fashion, menswear podcast, NYC fashion, emerging designers, Grailed, vintage clothing, sneaker releases, luxury menswear, personal style, fashion interviews, Gen-Z style, contemporary menswear, fashion community, trend forecasting, indie sleaze, quiet luxury, relaxed tailoring, New York City culture

    8.13 - How Much Do You Spend A Year On Clothes? Apr 20, 2023
    Show notes

    So. Sol (@solthompson), Michael (@_smithstagram), and John (@johnhogeboom) are back. I know. Exciting. We have a pretty cool discussion in this one, y'all. Seriously.
    Do you know how much you spend a year on clothes? Don't just toss out a number - really think about it. $1,000? $2,000? What's normal to you in a week? Times 52? More than you think, right? How much is too much?
    That's not the only thing we talk about, though - tune in as the boys talk about being the jerk with the loud stereo system, Balenciaga cargo pants (Michael), Outfit subscription boxes, Uniqlo influencers, sleeping in jeans, military contracting, buying reps in Shenzhen, and more!
    Hope you enjoy, everyone!
    Lots of love!

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

    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.
