Daniel H. Wilson, a robotics engineer from Tulsa, Oklahoma wants television audiences around the United States to “understand.” The author of several widely acclaimed humorous science fiction accounts, he is now the host for The History Channel’s new show The Works. (And while I haven’t seen the program yet, I can theorize that it might be a slightly updated version of the network’s How It’s Made with an infusion of humor.) In any event, Wilson explores how sneakers have become so crucially important to modern life, and even how footwear has developed its own subculture. It should be an entertaining 60 minutes.

Word fellas.
I know I’m being cynical here, but I hope Wilson gets after companies and their purported assertions regarding their cushioning systems…if you know what I mean…

The show was dope. Really got down to the nitty gritty of the sneaker game.

I saw this episode last night, and I was trying to go to bed, but I admit I was intrigued by the amount of information, and the depth he went, into our culture. He visited a dunkxchange event, a SneakerPimps event, various campouts for some shoes, and he even visited Bodega, which gave credibility to us sneaker heads, where they explained the Tier 0 store status, how QuickStrikes from Nike work, and so on, but for the tech informational segments, he visited Brooks shoes, which in my opinion, was quite boring. I would assume Nike was first on their list, but anyways, overall, this was a dope episode.

I thought it was pretty bad. Bodega stuff was cool but other than that - they really missed what the sneakerhead world is all about.
