Los Angeles-based Henny, Elaina and Janelle are the host of Sneaky Leak Podcast, a sneaker-themed talk show that launched in August 2023. Blending hilarious exchanges with sneaker news and cultural critiques, the podcast is a much needed perspective in a space dominated by male hosts.
Since launching, the podcast has landed impressive guests including Trophy Room proprietor Marcus Jordan and designer Jae Tips, whose two sneaker collaborations with Saucony landed him on multiple top 10 lists this year.
