Do we buy what we want or are we told what we want? So I recently finished this book…’The Nineties’ by Chuck Klosterman…and a large part of the book is him arguing that the crux of the 90’s was that

Saw a great deal on the @mschf pack - Jesus 97's and Satan 97's and almost pulled the trigger immediately. Took a step back, asked the OG-Squad-Chat at the @sneakerhistory Discord to take a look on

We all know of that Jordan 1.5 that released a few years back…I know that the idea of that shoe is cool. And maybe the OG of that shoe is cool. But the execution on that release was terrible. They loo

TBH I never really saw why anyone was spending $1k plus on *any* of those OG @patta_nl AM1’s…they’re cool and all…but TBH…if they weren’t a Patta collab and I saw some of these at retail as a GR, I w

TBH…my head has been nowhere near sneakers since that news out of Texas…hard for me to focus. If you got friends who are parents of little kids - check up on them. And if you’re a parent and just want

What do y’all think about these ISPA shoes? When I see articles like this, I always think back to that stat I posted a while back on the blog - 24 billion pairs of sneakers produced in 2019. 24 bill

Speaking of @niketalk_com , there used to be these threads where dudes would sound off on things that they hated about sneakers…one of the things that people used to get all in their feelings about wa

You wanna hear something crazy? As long as I’ve been on the internet (since like 1998 or so), I’ve been a sneakerhead…and in that time…SO much sneaker stuff has come out and SO much of it has left a

Confession: I love the 'Clogposite' and wish they always had them on the shelves. I had the eggplant OG pair a few years ago...a pair I bought from some non-sneakerhead in San Mateo who listed them

This is *my* ‘ship of Theseus’ pair…    I’ve talked a lot about this pair in the past and it’s actually like a cornerstone of my collection. Not really for any reason other than the fact that it’s an

I post this one every once in a while…it’s an actual Nike print ad from the late 90’s… I believe it’s called the ‘air show trainer’ - this was one of my grails for years. At this time there were a to

As for actual sneaker releases of 2021 (ie not retros) - I think the Yeezy 450 was the most interesting to me. It was real subtle on first glance but once you really took a look it was pretty polarizi

I always liked the OG Oski’s (the black pair) but wish they did it on a low. It’s one of the only Nike shoes that (I know of) that messed with the swoosh…obviously the Chunky Dunks and Grateful Dead D

For all of you thinking @virgilabloh is mailing it in with these - I think this point bears mentioning. One of the things about ‘OG’ pairs that a lot of ‘golden age’ collectors fail to mention (or sim

Another one of those ‘OG’ sock runner-type shoes, prestos are so comfortable… I copped the ‘greedys’ (on the left) several years ago and recently copped the ‘what the’ prestos the other day. I don’t k
