@sneakerphetish is probably the best account on Twitter (that I've found) that is constantly discussing sneaker topics. Several times a day, too.
He posted this poll a few weeks ago and...although I

Yeah so with grading...I have a much closer idea to what a 7 out of 10 would look like...(using shoemetrics scale)...Notice, the uppers show very minimal wear, the midsoles show a bit of flaws, interi

As I said in yesterdays post...I got a few people calling me this past year and I talked their ears off...I can go on and on and on about it...
Thing is...I've been studying this stuff for 8 years no

So...this is just a screen cap from my website...obviously this is all just photoshop, but I based this off of @psacard 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle example on their website...which shows typical differen

I don’t know how to really process these 'sneaker of the year' arguments or discussions…they’re so opinion-based and there are very few sneaker opinions I take seriously enough to change my own person

Look at the toe box.
Double stitched with the finest Peruvian camel hair.
As accurate as the sun, the moon, and the stars.
Incredible.

A little while ago, a sneakerlebrity asked me (in some post comments) whether or not I had any business spending $2000+ on a pair of shoes and, after the initial shock of a grown man pocket-watching a

That 'what would you rather have $1M or PJ Tuckers sneaker collection' video from sneaker con the other day had me all traumatized thinking about how I would go about selling 5,000 pairs of shoes... T

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

Not sure how many of y'all are new here (finally some solid IG growth for the win!), but a couple of weeks ago I decided I'd start sharing some of these legit checks I've been getting...yeah I know, '

I know I'm not the first to say it, but I think this shoe is ass.
Regardless of the story, nothing about this shoe is even remotely appealing to me...I don't even know if some cool colorways could s

And so…I suppose…this is the end of my 7 day rant about how brands have pretty much replaced the gap in my life that religion once filled…(which might or might not) be why I feel like I’m constantly q
Nov 11, 2022
And now...a few low-hanging comparisons between religion and brands:
---
Religion: people are loyal to their religions. Some to the point of death. (The crusades).
Brands: people are loyal to their

Now before you get your panties in a twist…’evocative’ means ‘bringing strong images, memories, or feelings to mind.’

So this study I was talking about yesterday…was there a ‘link’ between brands

I guess with all this talk about how collections and collectibles have become these items that some of us ascribe incredible amounts of meaning to…the next question that came into my head is kinda wil

Bouncing around… I found ANOTHER @nytimes article…this one was written by the one and only @questlove supreme…titled “Collecting Is an Act of Devotion, and Creation”…and if you want to gloss over my

In line with the topic(s) I've been exploring lately...have you ever stopped to wonder WHY we are nostalgic for certain sneakers?
I know there was a time in my life that I looked for some nostalgic

After that post about the 'swoosh story' on Monday, it had the wheels turning...
I'm not saying that I don't believe the 'waffle' story, but have you ever considered whether or not it's true? I remem

If you consider yourself a collector, have you ever taken a step back and asked yourself…’why do I collect things?’
It’s one of those questions that I’m always kind of intrigued by. I want to know t

Some people think about others. Some people think about love and life and redemption. And these are the things that I think of.

With a DS size 10 on StockX for $1.6k and a DS size 10.5 on StockX for $1.7k, I find it hard to believe ANYONE would pay $1.5k for a mismatched pair of TS1's...am I wrong?
I know a *collector* would

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
