I haven’t done a ‘daily shoe’ in quite a while because I figure no one really gives a damn what I wear on a day to day. But today I’m pretty bored....I’m 4 periods in and I’ve had a grand total of SIX

Thanks to @redwood_sf for chatting and letting me take some pics...they got a pretty clean pair of Toro 4s here with some really minor production flaws. This is definitely one of the better pairs of t

User submission 2/2. Thanks to the sender of these AM1 @pietparra pics. “Glue stains were pretty minimal and mostly consistent but only two small issues prevented these from being damn near perfect.”

An oldie but goodie. I've heard from a few people 'I'm getting tired of seeing glue stains.' The fact of the matter is, glue stains are the number 1 cause of lower grades. Like almost every single pai

Again...For $1500 I need some symmetry. This stuff kills me. 5 or 6 years ago I bought a pair of new balances for $39.99 and they had a similar symmetry issue and I made a huge deal to NB customer ser

Posted by @liljupiterr and then reposted by @fbccbayarea and now re-re-posted by me. $1k+ ($1.7k from the original post) for this pair of LV shoes and this is how they arrive...one toebox looks normal

One thing #goatapp has going for it is it's extensive database of sneakers. It's incredible. I still find certain shoes missing from time to time but...my God...it's exhaustive. It just keeps getting

I was messin around on GOAT scrolling through some of their listings and came across these two monstrosities. Took me a minute to realize that one of these is a toddler shoe and the other is considere

I thought this was a pretty cool looking jersey card. Patrick Mahomes Nike logo RC ungraded and sold for $10k+.

If you’ve been doing this sneaker thing as long as I have, you might have noticed back in 2016 that @Nike released a couple of their less popular silhouettes (Air Max 96 and 96 II) throughout the year

So I finally got around to seeing those Melo XIIIs in person and...they lived up to the hype. If you don't know the story behind these...here's the abridged version: @jumpman23 made a ton of these and planned on this big release for them called 'the class of 2002'. Once the production facility finished, quality control department took a look and said something to the effect of 'we can't release these there are too many defects'. And having seen some actual pairs - they did a good job pulling the

Yesterday, I had two separate individuals ask me about how *certain* sneakers are packaged after they are graded in order to maximize for longetivity...here's a few pics of Jordan PEs that were graded a couple years back. The first is what we believe to be a pair made for @bighurt during his shoe contract year. The second pair was made (and autographed) by @mike_bibby_10 . And the third pair is a DS pair made for @michaelfinley4 (and included the sheath). .
Our casing is no joke - we went throug

One last pic of those Jordan XX9 MTMs to close out the post. Those 4 tiny flaws represented a 1 point drop on the grading scale...and the majority of that drop had to do with the dust that accumulated

The difference between a graded Jordan Fleer rookie at an 8/10 and 10/10 (graded by PSA) is roughly $32k 😂 The more I research this stuff, the more I think it's exactly where sneakers are headed. Grad
