IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson · Come Back for Greatness with Allyson and Wes Felix · 29 Apr 2026 podcast

I walked away from Nike and knew that I wasn't done.

And Wes and I, always figuring it out, figuring out what was next.

we thought, you know, okay, we've got to find a new sponsor.

And that was the task.

But as we did a really deep dive in the industry and Wes, I think really going into big brother mode, he was like, I just think that we should do this ourselves.

And I'm like,

well, what exactly does that mean?

I had just had a baby, all these things are happening in the world.

And he said, no, no, I think that we should build a shoe company.

And that just felt also so big, just coming from where we come from.

I didn't see the path to that.

But the more that I sat with it, I understood what he was saying.

It was like, instead of begging these big brands to do the right thing, to build the thing differently, we could do it.

And even though it was very ambitious, we did that and we learned that shoes were not being made for women.

And that took time to figure out what that meant because we've all been to the shoe store and the women's side and I'm like, no, there's shoes.

But as we unpacked it, we learned a shoe is just made off of a last, which is a mold of a foot.

And it's the mold of a man's foot used to make women's sneakers.

And I had no idea of being a runner that I was running literally in men's shoes.

And when we figured that out, it was like, wow, we have this opportunity.

We're absolutely where we're supposed to be and we can do things differently.
