    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

    Show notes

    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.

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

    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
    Show notes

    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
    Show notes

    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
    Show notes

    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
    Show notes

    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!
