Randy Goldberg and the Pop Up Flea

December 01, 2020 by David Coggins in Style

This week on Central Division we talk to the great Randy Goldberg. You know him from Bombas, of course. I swear by their socks for all fishing-related activities, all boot-related activities, and now, with their new ribbed dress socks, all loafer-related activities. 

But we’re not here to talk about socks. We’re here we talk about the wonderful journey of the Pop Up Flea, which Randy and Michael founded in 2009. It started with their friends in a small event space in Soho and ultimately involved some of the best-known brands and traveled worldwide. It’s a fascinating look back on retail, menswear, events, New York real estate from the wise men behind A Continuous Goldberg Productions. 

We thought with your inboxes flooded with Cyber Monday emails we’d offer some counter-programming. 

You can listen to the entire podcast here. Remember, you can subscribe to The Contender newsletter and listen to all of the podcasts and get access to the complete archive—it’s at least thirty articles (more than any sane person can read). Or you can subscribe to Central Division and get access to The Contender and A Continuous Lean and the podcast. You can give them as gifts. You can do just about anything. Think about it!
