GLCO Spectacle

Jon Buscemi x Garrett Leight

This is Garrett’s favorite episode (though he’s said that a few times already). In this episode, he sits down with Jon Buscemi – key figure in ‘90s streetwear culture (think: Supreme and its surrounding universe), creator of Gourmet Footwear (listen for a can’t miss story Jon shares about his lawsuit with Nike), and, amongst many other roles and attributes, G’s friend of over 17 years. Needless to say, there’s some good tea in this episode.
