Laces Out Loud is officially expanding! In Episode 31, we celebrate the podcast’s move to Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, iHeartRadio, and more before diving into a packed soccer week.
Gotham adds another trophy with a Challenge Cup win over Kansas City, while the NWSL’s new cleat-branding rules spark a bigger conversation about player compensation, endorsement deals, and whether women athletes are finally getting paid for the visibility they provide. We also dig into women-specific footwear design, sneaker culture, and why “shrink it and pink it” should have been left behind a long time ago.
Then it’s on to World Cup drama, FIFA’s science and technology exhibit in Vancouver, goal-line tech, player tracking, VAR experiments, and the NWSL’s return from break — including heat policy questions, Spirit survival plans, San Diego vs. Gotham, Denver vs. Kansas City, and possible debuts to watch.
