Alright y’all…this is my last sole swap hybrid I’ve got to show (for now). Pretty sure @govrn_ did this one, too. I initially bought the AM1 because I just love jewel swooshes but when I realized it

(My second time using this audio in the past couple of days. And I love it when y’all hit me and ask me to comment on sneaker stuff…!) A few things: 1. The first ‘leaked’ zoom call looked real. I’ve

Another one brought to life by @govrn_ . Personally loves the Footscape 360 upper, but the 360 sole didn’t age well…plus they fit WAY big. Think I got those Free Trails for $30 or something at a Nike

Another @govrn_ mashup. Took the sole from those 98’s a few posts back and reappropriated them on one my fav sleeper silhouettes - the J-Pack internationalists. Most people didn’t seem to care too

I think what a lot of us on social media look for are (1) people we agree with and (2) people who can succinctly put their finger on a thoughts we’ve had rolling around in our heads for a while. I th

Sole swap #2… Picked up these old 1995 ACG hiking boots a couple of years ago for $10 at a thrift shop and, surprisingly, they held up well through several actual hikes…last hike I took them on I not

Just saw these recently released and made me wonder why the 576, 577, 996, 1300 and 1400 have been virtually absent during this recent New Balance run… I LOVED these models during the last NB 2013-20

Feeling super uninspired by nearly every sneaker ‘news’ story last week, I figured I’d start showing y’all a few of these sole swap hybrids I’ve commissioned over the years… starting with that pair a

The @off____white spiky outsole thing has been kind of interesting to watch…I thought they were really odd at first but have come around to building some personal interest in them… IIRC it started wi

As a ‘news reporter’, of which I’ve been referred to by quite a few people, I’m certain I’m terrible at it. Because I don’t like to report ‘news’. I like to write about things that actual news reporte

Kind of a continuation of the conversation a few days ago…potentially shooting myself in the foot with my personal definition of what a sneaker designer actually is… How different are amateur Nike ID

(1/2) Here’s kinda the thing: I think, no matter *who* does the job that @matthewjwelty , @brendandunne and @jlp do, I think they’d get under my skin. Not because of anything they are or aren’t, but m

Someone in my comments mentioned the term ‘shock fashion’ and this is how I’ve begun to look at these things. If you asked me what the most prevalent sneaker I saw at ComplexCon, I’d say it was the A

So… Complexcon. I feel like I could write a book about everything, but trying to focus more on the information that might benefit YOU can really make that a lot shorter book 😂 —- The good: - I’m gla

Now this is dope…and…ImO…a *different* approach to (tired) conversation of fakes… And I’m relatively certain that only like 0.001% of you will care or understand the impact this *could have but you *

No rumination-worthy post today. Got the #complexcon invite and had to roll…wanted to check out the scene and peddle my wares. It’s overwhelming, to say the least. Seen many of the usual suspects wa

Yesterdays post regarding @jaetips brought up some interesting discussion…taking it to a place I wasn’t really sure it was going to go…kinda made me think…I consider myself a bit of a sneaker ‘savant’

Some interesting convo going on over at Twitter…From what I can gather, @jaetips said something about his super popular @saucony collaboration regarding resale and someone blasted him for it - basical

See this is one of those things that if you told me 20 years ago I wouldn’t have understood the point, but now it’s so obvious and transparent that it makes me feel like an idiot…I’ve been duped. I

With all of the talk of ‘ugly’ shoes the last couple of days, I’ve been trying to find a pair that ~90% of people can agree are objectively ugly. I’m not saying you have to like them, or don’t - hel

*swipe* So many comments yesterday but only a handful of people answered the actual question…which was ‘what is the ugliest sneaker you own?’ I’m glad y’all liked those cortez’ but to me they’re pr

Copped these yesterday at my local for $9.99 and it made me think…’this is an objectively ugly shoe. There is no way around it. But is it the ugliest shoe I own?’ I don’t think so. Some people would
