Welcome to Episode 6 of Nouglychickspodcast!
This week, I sit down with Frank Cooke — sneaker designer, creative director, and cultural storyteller — to talk about his influential run with Jordan Brand and Nike, and the mark he’s left on sneaker culture. Starting on Jordan Brand’s exclusive NRG team, Frank helped bring to life some of the most talked-about releases in recent history, including the Nigel Sylvester Air Jordan 1, “Not For Resale” AJ1, Travis Scott collaborations, and reimagined retro classics. His work was never just about shoes — it was about crafting stories that connected deeply with the culture. After leaving Jordan in 2018, Frank continued to push boundaries as a creative force, and in this episode we dive into his latest release, the Nike GT Future “Fire,” along with his personal milestone of 3 years of sobriety. Oh, and for the record — Frank pulled up rocking a clean Rolex during filming, which earned him even more brownie points. Frank is such a cool guy.
