I believe it was @sz9 who recently resurfaced this old ad that used to make the rounds on @niketalk_com - an image I had been looking for for a while now (to post) but could not find it. I was scrolling the other day and recognized it as soon as I saw the kid with the fedora on the right... 😂 ⁣ ⁣ Anyway...an old @carmeloanthony x @jumpman23 ad that prominently featured a pair of fakes right next to the hero shot... At first glance and thought it’s hard to imagine how something like this could happen... but thinking about it a bit more... not everyone who works at Nike or Jordan is a sneakerhead. Most people probably don’t even give a damn... Kind of a slap in the face to collectors though... we pore and obsess over this stuff to an almost incomprehensible degree and here are our gatekeepers giving zero damns... 😂 it’s kind of funny when you think about it though...funny? Disrespectful? Am I thinking too much into it?⁣ ⁣ #fashion #inspiration #style #swag #sneakers #sneakerhead #sneakerheads #igsneakercommunity #sneakeroftheday #igkicks #sneakerfiend #igsneakerheads #sneakerheat #hypebeast #kickstagram #kotd #niketalk #nt #ntdenim #sneakerpreservationsociety #thesneakersavant #thesneakersavantremembers #shoemetrics #shoemetricsgraded #tssgrailbox #thelastdance #lastdance #mj #mj23 #bootleg
