Changing Tastes in Sneakers

A comment on a YouTube video made Matt think about changing perspectives and tastes. As we get older, should our tastes change in our likes and dislikes? Should we embrace new elements of the culture to gain wisdom and have new experiences? Matt talks though this in both sneakers and life.

Big thanks to HomeGrownKicks on YouTube and Instagram for the inspiration.
