There’s little out there that makes me feel older than trying to follow Twitter conversations… but this one was funny. S/o to both the guys at @sneakerhistory and @russbengtson for spark that lit th

One of the toughest ‘legit check’ requests I get on a semi-regular basis is an authentication regarding a sample shoe. When I first started doing legit checks for people I actually kinda liked doing s

Attn: fake manufacturers - do your best to at least use the same materials as are on the original. Cardboard nubuck in place of plush suede doesn’t go over so well…

Y’all know me - I buy all kinds of stuff at clearance stores and outlets and consignment shops - a few months ago I copped this brand new @nike heritage backpack (want to say it was at an outlet or cl

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

I always tell people the first dunks I ever got, I purchased at Urban Outfitters in like 2000 or 2001. It’s been kinda hard to prove…up until the other day when I stopped by my dude Mikes spot @redwoo

Honesty really is the best policy 😂

Made in the US and Made in the UK models are usually the hallmark of ‘quality’ (cough *shape* cough) for most NB heads…a lot of the (advertised) ‘Made in Asia’ pairs tend to have more of a banana shap

Uuhhhhh… please no. I don’t know if these are legit or customs or samples or whatever but please just no.

Saw these are my local thrift the other day…I remember hearing something about these about a year or two ago… I know a little bit, but does anyone else care to enlighten us as to what these are exactl

I once read an album review of The Love Movement by A Tribe Called Quest, where this dude was basically arguing that Beats, Rhymes and Life, (their prior album that wasn’t all that well-received), was

Finally found a near-immaculate pair of @lancemountain x Jordan 1 SB’s in my size for what I consider to be a steal..$300…only one little issue…Mario was etched on the heel of the left shoe…how would

I dunno about y’all, but I’m starting to feel like I have a’ sneaker’ hangover. Like it’s just too goddam much. Every morning: sneakers. Every afternoon: sneakers. Every night: sneakers. Even the snea

Scrolling through eBay looking at some sneaker swatch card and I have no clue who @treyburke is but I’d recognize that eyelet from anywhere…what is it? (Scroll to see the silhouette)

Lookin like a cross between its predecessor and the final iteration, anyone have any guesses on what this is an early model of? It’s a Jordan signature model sample in case you were wondering… The la

I love the feel of velvet, but white velvet dunks? Dirt magnets. What’s resale gonna be on these?

One of those words that just makes me cringe lately is the word ‘content’. As in, ‘you need to produce more content’. There’s nothing wrong with the word as is, but I hate the fact that it’s just beco

Love this question and really love this answer. Just like the word ‘classic’ in a hip hop discussion, I feel like the word ‘grail’ is overused. No, that pair that came out last week that you hit ‘bu

The last of my ‘fun’ authentications for the week…I like the swoosh 🤷‍♂️

Second pair of these that have come across my authentication screen in as many months. Tbh if I were a Laker fan these would be a dope pair… Size tag is way off but the exterior tag is pretty spot on

(Small break from NFTs) I got some interesting authentication requests this week… How about this pair of ‘Off-Louis’ Jordan 1’s? Seem legit? U shaped toe box gives it away…

So where are the shoes? We have a handful of our designs done and are currently working with a couple of manufacturers to put our samples on the table… I tell y’all one thing - never in a million ye

This is probably the most OG ‘sock-runner’ type shoe that I own - the Air Huarache. I’ve got several pairs of these and love wearing them because that neoprene bootie is just crazy comfortable. I rea
