Sneakerists: Darren Bent

Season 1, Ep. 2

Joelah Noble (BBC) and Ade Oladipe (DAZN) host a new show about sneakers, trainers, kicks, pumps, or whatever you call them. Guests from music, sport and entertainment share their prized pairs in their collections and their fascination with the shoes. If you're not a sneakerhead, listen to something else (like Sam Smith or Britney Spears). This is for those who know their Huaraches from their Air Max TNs.


Darren Bent, the former England football player, is this episode's Sneakerist.
