Was doing a bit of research and found that this was the first time they actually put a jumpman on a Jordan 1…2002 or so…I always kinda liked this shoe (not the color), but the idea…kinda looks bad, no

Just saw these recently released and made me wonder why the 576, 577, 996, 1300 and 1400 have been virtually absent during this recent New Balance run… I LOVED these models during the last NB 2013-20

Based on some of the responses to yesterdays post, an alternative headline could have been 'which Adidas logo should go on their gravestone?' lol ~~~~~~ Saw this 'Treziod 1' shoe a few months ago an

I know I know. Corporations and profits and dividends and growth and blah blah blah. ‘Originality’! I’m always a bit…taken aback….when I see the entirely useless accoutrement for a shoe they no longe

When I was a traveling (boy) man, I used to arrive in a new place and wonder…’why in the hell do we (Americans) call this place XYZ when it calls itself ZYX?’ Like…how are we going to call it Germany

Are shox back? I know shox haven't been all that popular for the past 10 (15? 20?) years, but I, for one, am happy to see them getting some attention from the collaborators... When I first moved to

I bring this up every once in a while because I think it’s poignant - but IMO - the reason dunks are always such a hit is because they do a masterful job of merging as many ‘street’ cultures as possib

Heard Ras Kass on @talibkweli People’s Party podcast the other day and he said something along the lines of ‘are you a consumer or a connoisseur’. And it made me think of what’s going on with sneakers

Resident denim-selvedge gawd @kingjamesthefifth hit me up the other day asking if I was following the saga of the Carmine VI’s…and...although I had seen a couple of posts here and there, I wasn’t real

If you follow @archive.dna account (I believe to be run by someone at Nike) you might have seen this pair of these Air Max 90’s… I didn’t bother reading the caption when they came across my feed -

Sometimes more isn’t better, and the KOBE 2 embodies that motto. Admittedly, Bryant himself didn’t like the KOBE 2. So much so that he switched back to the KOBE 1 during the 2001-2002 NBA Finals.

(5/?) Through the years, I’d say I’ve sold more than a few thousand items on eBay, the VAST majority of those being shoes. I have a handful of memories about what I sold, but not everything has tha

So...back to ‘the logo’. The ‘NYC’ pair is the pair that made me think about even creating the box...I told this story about the @john_c_jay NYC Block logo a few posts ago...so it’s great for me to se

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
