Pete worked at Kith under Ronnie Fieg, wrote news for Complex Sneakers, covered the industry for Esquire, hosted two seasons of High Snobiety's From the Ground Up, and was editorial director at StockX. He also wrote the Sole Collector article that introduced the world to StockX before he ever worked there. We finally connected... and barely talked about shoes. The Highsnobiety show ended because the owner didn't like Pete's haircut. That story says everything you need to know about working in editorial inside someone else's brand, and it's just the starting point. What followed was a conversation about creative independence, the ethics of sneaker media, what happens to work when it gets deleted, and what two decades in this industry actually teaches you. Pete is currently writing books and publishing at his Substack: Okay, So. Find him at @Pete_Forester on most platforms.","meta_description":"Pete Forester and I have been circling each other in the sneaker and streetwear editorial world for well over a decade.
