(2/3) "Yo, so like I said before, I switch up my kicks depending on my mood. And when I'm feeling extra spicy, I like to rock my black and white AF1s. You see, those shoes make me feel like a boss, an

"Yo, so it was 2011, and I was in the middle of this intense playoff run with the Miami Heat. One day, between games, I decided

PONY (2/2)
There’s a period of my life in which I can attribute the completion of all sorts of ‘full circle’ moments…when I moved to Brooklyn in 2003, after graduating from college in California, a w

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 anything, I just like sharing this stuff to show you the things I notice. I get a lot of DMs from people needing help with legit checks and these are the things that stand out.
When I was a web d

One of my favorite things about sneakers (and life in general), is when my patience pays off.
Whenever I see a new pair of shoes I’m instinctively drawn to, my mind tends to make instantaneous decis

Legit check chronicles: Yeezy.
Kind of shocking to see how deep of a hole this dude dug for himself. 2 months ago, I was getting ~200 pairs of Yeezys a week (in legit checks). Over the past few weeks
Jan 14, 2023
I haven’t seen THIS many people fired up about anything sneaker-related since…well…like three days ago.
Unless you’ve been under a rock the past few days, this dude and his crew @sneakercon are ge

I've have this pair...I bought them for $40 from @stussy in New York back in 2004 (I believe). I told myself I'd give them to my little girl (whenever she was born), but I'm the father of 2 sons and n
Jan 3, 2023
I'd say no less than 11 people sent me these ads...every time I chuckle
I'm not sure if the intention was to show you that @@ebaysneakers *will protect you* from shoes like this, or if they're actual
Dec 31, 2022
Another excellent observation from @sneakerphetish ...like what exactly are these people doing at these events? Is it just to drive hype? It's nothing new, tho, just the amount of 'famous' people I'm

Saw this infographic in my kids library book the other day. Scale is obviously WAY off. A size 14 plus lined up in front of size 9 does not actually equate to a size 23 lol
For years we heard 'the mo
Dec 26, 2022
Similar to the AF1 x LV, to me these are just one of those 'impossible' pairs. One of those pairs that really, for all intents and purposes, should only exist in imagination (or in a display case). Th
Dec 24, 2022
I'm not really good with the 'mens' vs. 'womens' vs. 'unisex' sneakers argument that I know a lot of folks get really passionate about...IMO, again, they're just shoes. Do I think it's lame when dudes
Dec 23, 2022
Just a reminder...things aren't always what they seem...
Some of these guys on IG surprise the hell out of me. When I find out what they do, (as my kids would say) 'for real life', I'm always thinkin

I hear he's a good, positive dude and he's got this great 'sneaker room' and you can stay there via Airbnb and he brings pillows to games to sit courtside and he's the father of Asaad and he's so cool
Dec 19, 2022
I believe it.
And I believe it because I was living in New York at the time and I believe it because I was paying attention. Plus, it's SCIENCE (lol)
@50cent and G-Unit really had taken the reigns

"Dear Savant, should I sell my Yeezys?"
Really, I’ve been trying to write this one for a while now. And every time I think it’s ready to go out into the world via IG, something else pops up that make

Saw these during my 'grinch' question research the other day and was kinda floored...price looked good until I looked kinda closely at the pics.
EVEN though these are a rare shoe...I couldn't picture

Pro tip: GET YOURSELF SIGNED UP FOR A LOCAL MAIL SERVICE. I've used them for the past 7-8 years and haven't had a single issue. I've likely ordered THOUSANDS of items over that time period and haven't

I copped a slightly used pair of these YEEEEEAAAARRRRSSSS ago, and I always felt there was something off about them. They slipped from my possession (pretty sure I gave them to my homies son) and I al

It's funny...I took a year off (from grading) to gain my bearings and try to better understand the market...I think it's important to take time off from constantly pushing yourself on something as it
