I really don't understand the allure of this shoe, but that's definitely not going to stop me from grading and authenticating... #thesneakersavantrecommends : To rock: Make sure they're authentic (fak

Walking around downtown SF yesterday wearing my @fbccbayarea John Starks jersey and a reporter and his cameraman approached me...no lie - the first question out of his mouth: "Are you a Warriors or Ra

Game day! Is Drake gonna be the star of the #torontoraptors again tonight? This is from Game 6 of the last series...this had me dying...I knew I recognized that hoodie but couldn't place where. 'Bird

It's funny - my students know I'm a sneaker head so they steadily send me links for new releases. I got a link to these the other day from one of my students and I responded with something like 'too l

Game day tomorrow! As a @warriors fan, I'd be ok with Kawhi and the @raptors winning it this year. I mean it's nice to be on top but we gotta fall at some point...and who better to fall to than someon

We all know @drake can't ball, right? 😂 So why are the biggest representatives of @jumpman23 not athletes?

Brought my class to Japan Town the other day and came across this super dope book called 'Edo Ball * The Art of Basketball' by @andrewtarcher (that came out like 2 years ago). I flipped through most o

Saw this on Twitter. Nike 'Freak 1' @giannis_an34 signature shoe. That's a pretty crazy midsole. A question to all my designers... what do y'all think of that midsole? I want to say its lazy because i

Any thoughts on the rumored @off____white x @nike waffle racer? Looks impossibly uncomfortable IMO 😂(📸 by @py_rates_ )

Same glue stains around the toe flap as the other promo shots I’ve seen...it's still a great looking shoe. Is everyone happy with the quality on these, though? It really doesn't look bad...

Since i struck out on the past 82 #snkrs drops, I suppose these'll do. Nike Blazer Low sample with hints of @sean_wotherspoon (corduroy), @sacaiofficial (layered eyelets) and @virgilabloh and @off____

So I’m like a grown man and shoes are mostly trivial to me, but I’m not above the frustration of the #SNKRS app. Last shoe I hit...and I’m not joking...was a shoe that didn’t need to be hit (cuz it hi

Last comparison pic on those @travisscott 1s...kind of easier to tell the differences here, but I’ve seen inconsistencies in retail pairs, too. Overall, just be careful. If a deal seems to be too good

Doing some #supreme authentication for one of our clients and @redwood_sf picked up on some inconsistencies. We saved this buyer close to $1.5k.

Some more @travisscott comparison pics...what do y’all think?

This is that pair of @pyermoss x @reebok I’m pretty sure I could get away with. Swipe to see one more interesting pair...looks like a shark or something I dunno... Now if only ‘Ye co-signed these ther
