237 – Back to the SNKR

Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities July 28, 2026 Duration: 54:30

Sneaker fetish is back on Hide and Seek.

A few years after first joining us, Wayne from SNKRBAR returns to talk about how Melbourne’s sneaker fetish scene has grown (including moving couches), what has changed since the early days of SNKRBAR, and why sneakers can carry so much erotic, social and cultural meaning.

We unpack sneaker worship, scent, sportswear, lad culture, queer coding, public play, online visibility, consent, hygiene, sneakerhead status, and the difference between loving the shoe, the person wearing it, or the whole scene around it.

From TNs and high tops to footy boots, gym shoes and rare collectors’ pairs, this episode explores how sneakers can become symbols of desire, masculinity, submission, confidence, nostalgia and community.

Whether you’re a dedicated sneaker fetishist, sneaker-curious, or just wondering what your shoes might be saying about you, Wayne helps us lace up and step back into the world of SNKRBAR.
