So now that you know I’m hypocritical enough to sit here and type ‘corporations suck’ while also, simultaneously, supporting and marketing these same corporatio

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

The other day, while copping FIVE pairs of shoes from one of my favorite local (thriftish) spots, the lady behind the counter (who I see often) says to me 'are you a reseller?'
I kinda shrugged my s

Kinda cool infographic I found on @fadeawayworld the other day...
Truthfully I don't watch much of any sport, but to see how many NBA players are currently under Chinese brands is kinda cool... @361d

The other day I happened upon a pair of Way of Wade sneakers at my local and tried them on - I don't know what model they were or anything, but...for real...they were dope. They look to be strictly pe

There’s this old Outkast song called ‘Red Velvet' and in the second verse Andre 3000 is talking about measuring a man by his money…and he brings up the fact that cars lose a lot of value the minute th

I should have changed the image to say 'us/them' instead of 'me/you', cuz I know most of the people that are going to see this agree with me on it...
But...for those that don't...y'all know this type

Don’t need to be a millionaire to find some dope shoes for hella cheap…just need to be persistent 😂

The first pack of baseball cards I ever bought was a pack of 1987 Topps.
It was a fun experience, searching for Will Clark and Kevin Mitchell and Matt Williams and any or everyone in a Giants unifor

I don't know much about @ragandbone , but would y'all consider them to be a 'collaborator' or a 'catalyst'? IMO this drop was a flop. I know the homie @drew.hammell loved this one, but he's the only p

I know this isn't the first, nor is it the offensive, but this whole notion of 'pre-distressed' rides a really fine line 🤣
That stuff that @balenciaga did earlier...with those trashed whatever-the-fu

The first time going to one of these shows can be overwhelming...the first one I went to was in like 2010 in DC and it was good IMO...but...every one I went to after that just reminded me of the first

And so you gotta ask yourself...
What is the hype all for? Is it for myself? or is it for someone else?
I get, literally, nothing from seeing the vast majority of these collections...I see no value

A lot of it seems to be about signaling.
I fall prey to it sometimes, too. I think I see things about a week before most other people (who talk about them) see them. So I either swoop in about a wee

So I subscribe to this newsletter called @fatherly and it's basically just short-ish articles giving advice or whatever about what it's like to be a father. I don't spend too much time on it, but ever

The thing is...if you're like *really* into something, the sensationalism probably doesn't get to you.
You probably pay attention to your section of what it is, and that's what it is to you.

Saw this 'cash out' on Twitter the other day and thought...'man...I wish I could rid of 50+ pairs in one transaction'

Yea...I would never...
BUT. I do, sometimes, feel like lacing shoes can be an art...
It's so dumb and it's so ridiculous but that's kind of what makes some things interesting.
