A few people have asked me to post my thoughts on Dunks hitting Nike ID and...I dunno. I’m down.

So...the van. A few people in the comments of that ‘Van’ post last week said ‘the van is overrated’. Um. Ok. Whatever you say, buddy. I’d jump at the chance to cop some of these shoes that are res

Copped these Trainer III ‘USA’ on super steal the other day and gotta say they did a pretty good job with quality control on these…I bet the majority of these would grade high. Swipe to see what I see. There’s really only really two types of minor flaws on this pair, one of which is super common (and entirely expected) whenever I see a plastic cage component...Surprisingly, the glue stains aren’t really bad around the cage. It’s the tooling. Second flaw...I call it ‘negligent paint’. I

Another fascinating account to follow... @cluckyome_ I love seeing behind the scenes of factories (even if they’re fakes).

Photo of these Westbrook’s posted by @stangnhoops I really like the tag placement on this shoe. I know maybe it seems a bit pointless or silly or whatever, but why can’t Nike insert an RFID chip t

When those J Balvin’s made their first appearance nearly a year ago, I was kind of on the fence about them.

Correction on yesterdays post...several people DM’d me and hit me in the comments telling me I had the wrong pic of the first Yeezy pic.

Some of y’all probably not old enough to remember when Kanye left Nike, but most of us were waiting on pins and needles for his first Adidas release.

What’s the story behind the Revenge Storms? I mean I really paid like zero attention to this shoe (no interest in it), but someone mentioned in my comments the other day that the fakes of this shoe are so good that @stockx pulled them off of the site and no longer facilitates the sale of them… I may be trippin, but weren’t these hittin for $300-400 at one point? Maybe not this exact pair, but weren’t some pairs hittin that price range? If that’s true...here’s a recap... » @ianconnor b

If you follow @archive.dna account (I believe to be run by someone at Nike) you might have seen this pair of these Air Max 90’s… I didn’t bother reading the caption when they came across my feed -

When I first saw this the other day I thought it was a joke. IMO @brendandunne is like the master at tongue-in-cheek commentary (see @fullsizerunshow ) so I kinda thought he was just messin around…But according to my source (AT the source) this is all true. Apparently high-heat items sold out immediately and the site subsequently crashed. Not cool. This all went down on ‘the van’ - basically Nike’s employees-only clearance site (named after ‘the van’ that the founder used to sell shoes ou

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you might’ve heard that Nike recently laid off 500-700 employees from their corporate office in Oregon…a strange set of events have occurred over the past few weeks that has some of us wondering...is it all a coincidence? Or are these events related...? So apparently Marcus Jordan- @heirmj523 - The GOATs son and the founder of @trophyroomstore had his own Jordan 1 created…Apparently these ‘early pairs bro’ hit the streets before Marcus even knew

The point of grading shoes (or any collectible for that matter) is to distinguish between the condition of one vs. the condition of another.
