(cont’d from last post). I tried cleaning the scuff off, to no avail, and I tried wearing them a couple of times, but couldn’t find any clothes I owned that felt did them justice. So I sold them. For

From @bigwallerballer : This is my Chocolate Lab, Kodiak Bear. He’s always been a great dog, but, like a lot of puppies, he really enjoys the taste of sneakers - not just any sneakers - but my favorite sneakers.
The first time I wore my Kobe 1 UNC’s, I remember being a bit self conscious - ‘they’re a bit showy’. I’m at the playground and I’m shooting hoops when I hear a few of the kids on the other hoop ‘oooo, he got the Ko Beeeees’ followed by some giggles. No doubt a dig at the fact that I

So...these are real. A real collaboration with two real companies came up with these... @commedesgarcons x @nike 'Heeled Bootie'...fascinating. I remember seeing these and varied (bootleg) versions of @jumpman23 Heels at flea markets for a long time...kinda clever for them to actually release. At $675 retail.
If someone asked us to grade a pair of these it would take some serious thought... #thesneakersavantrecommends
To rock: Don't.
To stock: Don't.

This is probably the most popular shoe of the past 3 months at The Sneaker Savant office. We've seen probably 50 pairs of these and the price just keeps climbing. Makes me think of the Carolina 1s tha

I capped this screenshot ON RELEASE DAY...if anyone doubts that the Jordan market is flooded - let me say that in a different way: these Jordan VII x 'Ray Allen' sold for BELOW retail ON release day.

This might be a non-issue to some of you...but how would you feel if you dropped $3.5k on a pair of Jordan 1 x Off-white Chicagos with strange stains only visible through blacklight exposure? Would yo

As much as I like the #black @nike x Fear Of God Raid that released, I think this pair of samples is awesome. Reminds me of my childhood with the original Air Raid colorway. Great job on these @jerryl

Since i struck out on the past 82 #snkrs drops, I suppose these'll do. Nike Blazer Low sample with hints of @sean_wotherspoon (corduroy), @sacaiofficial (layered eyelets) and @virgilabloh and @off____

Last comparison pic on those @travisscott 1s...kind of easier to tell the differences here, but I’ve seen inconsistencies in retail pairs, too. Overall, just be careful. If a deal seems to be too good

Saw this posted by @willmatic23_sti... Back in the day - the only shoes that creased like this were the horrendous Jordan fakes made of some rubber/pleather compound. This is $150 authentic retail tod

$200 retail? I'll pass. And for all y'all saying I'm being too picky - would you be pissed if this is what @jumpman23 sent you after spending roughly $225 after retail+ tax?

And for my last pickup of the day...Deal or nah? Buffalo exchange got me in my feels. My size so I copped. Btw - do y'all know how @buffaloexchange and @crossroadstrading do business? Either they pay

Back to those melo 13s...thanks to @redwood_sf for letting me take some pics...they got a pretty clean pair of Melo 13s here with some really minor production flaws (compared to the ones I’ve seen). E

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

Not that it really matters unless you're in NY, LA or Chicago, tomorrow is release day. Before paying over retail - ask sellers for close up pics, especially where the midsole 'tooth' meets the upper.

After my brief exchange with @jerrylorenzo the other day, I'm sold on these and entered a few raffles. Probably one of the most anticipated release dates (for me) in quite a while. December 15th. Alth

Hit up the flea market the other day and came across a couple of 15 year old gems in my size. $25 each. I suppose I could have picked them up for around retail 15 years ago, but waiting 15 years saved
