Supposed @bodega Dunks - I’m totally feeling these. Jewel swoosh and the pen marks? Reminds me of middle school. Would love to say ‘I’m in’ but I ain’t paying more than retail and with the way Nike’s

A great question popped up in my comments yesterday and I just had to address it...I’ve heard similar questions but thought now would be a good time to go for it…from @shreddsledd was: “Could yo

We all know about the Dior 1’s - a shoe I could absolutely care less about. I, like many of you, also entered the ‘raffle’ to purchase a few months back at retail ($2k) because I knew they’d be sellin

So...again...here they are. Nearly indistinguishable FAKE @off____white x @jumpman23 Fire Red Vs that have already hit the market before the ‘real’ pairs have been officially released. If I wanted to

Can someone tell @stockx that facilitating the sale of shoes before they actually *officially* release might not be the best way to ensure authenticity.

The benchmarking scale... Had to do in PS as I have yet to see most of these condition benchmarks (ie: 10, 4, 3, 2, 1) Thoughts? #Thesneakersavant #shoemetrics #tssgraded #shoemetricsgraded #shoeme

In case you were wondering how I grade...editing is a bit...terrible. I had some music to it but it didn’t go so well (ended about 30 seconds early lol) Got shoes to sell? Wanna have them graded firs

When I first started this ‘sneaker grading’ idea about 6-7 years, I was talking to my younger-than-me-but-probably-way-smarter-than-me-civil-engineering cousin and I was telling him about the idea. I

What do you think is going on here? Let’s put together some of the pieces of the puzzle... From what I’ve heard...this company was contracted by Nike to make that hoodie (bottom right - contract is directly above it). They ordered the supplies and produced it (bottom left). And because of COVID - consumer spending is down. My sources say Nike cancelled the order so the manufacturer has no choice but to either destroy it or sell it on the underground market. (Can anyone confirm whether or not

TL: DR; Where do I get my fakes? Nowhere. I don’t buy them. And I’m not advocating for the purchase of them. My DMs are lit...seriously - you wouldn’t believe how many messages I’ve got from every random in the world asking me for the plug. I used to make it a point to respond to everyone who took the time to DM me, but it’s at the point now that I’m getting cold DMs everyday asking me the same question. EVERYONE seems to want to know where I get fakes. For the most part, I haven’t been resp

Why are ‘authentication’ and ‘grading’ two different things? First - when it comes to ‘authentication’ and ‘legit checks’ - I don’t think ANYONE has the keys to the castle. EVERY SINGLE SNEAKER CONS

After these posts of the past few days - a handful of people reached out and wanted to get involved. A number of people wanted to invest money. If you’ve been following me for more than a few months,

I read the other day that PSA collectibles has graded nearly 80 million items over the past 30 years. 80. MILLION. ITEMS. 80,000,000 items graded at at least $15/card...that’s $1.2 Billion...for.

Saw this on an FB group the other day…IMO this question doesn’t pop up as often as it should, but I feel it’s the only way anyone can get a handle on this market. And I feel like...with enough help...

With all of these pics I’m posting - you’d think I’m encouraging people to purchase fakes. Let me be clear - I am not condoning fakes at all. BUT I am happy that the fake discussion has finally taken
