A few thoughts about this whole Ye situation…
1. When I was a kid, I heard about a rapper that I liked say that they didn’t want white people buying their albums. I was 16 years old and I didn’t have

My cousin had that David Robinson 'The Right Stuff' poster up in his room when we were growing up and for the life of me I coud not understand what the hell was going on with that basketball. It took

A pretty fascinating article on @boardroom talking about Patrick Ewing and how Nike missed out on his contract surfaced a couple of weeks back...If you're interested I'd suggest giving it a gooble

So I wrote the majority of this post on Kanye before his latest trip off the rails (which, IMO, started as another massive TROLL move)...but doesn't really change my point all that much...

The famous Patagonia 'Don't Buy This Jacket' ad increased sales by 30% for a company that very (outwardly) appeared to despise the power that they had...What if the powers that be decided to pull the

The first time I ever came across anything @tomsachs that had nothing to do with Nike was at this little coffee shop called @sfvelorouge in San Francisco's Inner Richmond. It was a year or so after hi

I came across this article the other day and...yeah...I know it's OLD news (back from May of 2022), but the Kanye thing just reignited the whole basis...

Someone in the DMs recommended this @nytimes article to me and it took me a few days to take a look, but it was worth it. I was trying to figure out exactly what was going on (it's long). The goal of

The more I see Huaraches - the more I'm convinced this is one of the TIMELESS silhouettes by Nike. There is no big, gaudy swoosh *anywhere* on the shoe and it just *works* in thous
