    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

    7.5 - Nation of Haters with Ark (@unownedspaces) Jul 07, 2022
    Show notes

    It's time to get a little bit mad, a little bit salty, and hate a little bit (well, maybe a little bit more than a little bit) with Ark of @unownedspaces. Join Sol (@solthompson), Michael (@_smithstagram), and Ark as they discuss taking brand deals, the g word, and designer collabs (for better or worse). Bonus points if you keep score for the game we play during the episode. Regardless, we hope you enjoy and learn to love a little bit of hating.

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

    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.

    7.3 - Hallucinate It 'Til You Make It with José Criales-Unzueta (@eljosecriales) Jun 23, 2022
    Show notes

    The boys get delusional and lie on this week's episode, featuring Vogue runway writer extraordinaire José Criales-Unzueta. We discuss everything from Random Identities (yes), wearing all black (yes), and tiktok fitpics (no). 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!

    Sol and Michael are back, discussing jean alternatives, reps on Grailed, and their favorite (well, Michael's favorite) Rick runways!
