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

OK, so here’s the dilemma… I *kinda* like these shoes. Like…I’m really at a *kinda* kinda place with them. And I *kinda* might have a unique opportunity to get my hands on one of the pairs for a pr

Have y’all ever sat back and thought about how different sneaker companies run their businesses? 
 With Nike having been founded in 1964, and Adidas having been founded in 1949, why do you think Nike

Any of y’all heard of this dude Luigi Lineri? Apparently the article I found on this dude was from like 2016, but I only came across it the other day when a hippie friend shared it on his FB. Cliff

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

This ‘project’ started a few months back, when I saw a pair of those Sacai Vapor Waffles with a botched dye job on Mercari for dumb cheap. I wasn’t even looking for them, they just caught my eye and m

No joke - about 5 weeks ago I hit my dude at Nike HQ to see if he could find any interesting info about Peter Moore and Bruce Kilgore for me. No luck. So Moore’s passing was a bit of a shock. Especial

I LOVE seeing stuff like this. LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I know I’m like a broken record with this stuff, and I don’t know why I like this concept so much because I’m actually *from* the mountains
