I tried to think back to other *first* signature shoes and can’t say that I’m all that impressed with the vast majority of *first* signature shoes (that have dropped since like 2001)

Beyond the initial shock, seeing stuff like this just makes me feel very privileged. Not privileged in the sense that 'I have cool shoes', but privileged in the fact that I could say with 100% confide

PONY (1/2)
Really, I’ve just been trying to imagine what things must’ve been like in New York around 1972 and 1973, the year that both Nike and PONY launched (and also coincides with the year that my

If y'all ever wondered where @champagnepapi came up with the concept for those Certified Loverboy AF1's, read this and then 'thank me later.'

SB Heels. The first time I saw these I had to look closely. Did nike REALLY make SB Heels?
The mid-2000's was a vibe. Yes, I actually saw women wearing these (in NYC). These with those NBA jersey ski

I posted this the other day on my story and mentioned that I thought it was actually the best Off-White x Nike sneaker on the list and I got a lot of DMs…would I wear it? Debatable. Looks like a pain

Whenever I see stuff like this...I'm reminded that the world is a big place...Just to jog your memory for my outlook on brands (again): Nike targets the US, Adidas targets the world.

The sneaker world sure turned on New Balance quickly when it was revealed that the CEO of NB had been donating to Trump...obviously the charges didn't stick and New Balance came back with a vengeance.

Is there a simpler Nike silhouette than the Cortez? One of the reasons I never really got into most of the Off-White x Nike collaboration stuff is because I always thought it looked like a pain in the
