Yea those are the beginning of the boxes of shoes from the storage unit…to see more hit my story highlights…also hit the substack blog if you want the full story..

I’ve tried and I’ve failed a billion times with this idea. The idea, being, of course, to preserve sneakers as long as possible. It’s a lot harder than you’d think. I consider myself a smart-ish g

Trying something new for #ebaywatch as the videos were getting hammered… Two pairs of Jay-Z Reebok’s went for vastly different prices…fish filet. Most interesting shoes sold yesterday 3/8/26

I did the calculation so you didn’t have to.. Six Rings really the only one that I can give the benefit of a doubt to…it’s not ‘it’, but I think it’s the closest to ‘it’ that a hybrid can get. Any s

From my own personal experience…from roughly 2000 pairs I looked at. Interesting takeaway - Vietnam dominates and is also the quickest (by only one day)…

Innocent question…have you? I have, for the record. And, even worse, it was the shoe shown, for the record. Backstory for this specific reference currently at my substack, which is super easy to

I know I've posted this in several different ways, but this is the first time I was able to get it to fit on ONE single image...yay me!

I remember the bottom left tag from the first time I looked at some OG Jordan XII's I wanted to buy...the Playoffs (that I still have to this day)... most of the early silverbox SB dunks have the one
