## Resource

The Eastbay catalog, for those of a certain age, was one of the most iconic pieces of media in sneaker history. Between its colorful images, consistent presence, and selection, it captured the hearts and minds of youths everywhere. The founders of Eastbay, Art Juedes and Rick Gering, penned a memoir of Eastbay entitled "The Book of Eastbay". They joined Matt to talk about the book, share some stories, and stroll down memory lane. All proceeds from the book go to childhood cancer research.
