My students are always asking me if I got last weekends release. No, and I have like zero interest in almost every single *new* release. I’ve wasted enough empty hours behind a computer just *hoping* to spend my hard-earned money on another sneaker I’ll get to wear once a year. It completely lost its appeal […]
(3/3) Now I know these Off-Whites sat for a while and even hit some sales racks. Since the initial push when they first released, the prices dropped pretty significantly. I’m no longer that guy that jumps into any release immediately – I’m more of a ‘wait and see’ kind of guy. The only releases I’ll […]
(2/3) To answer the question – yeah I got burned. But I’ll get my money back. I like getting fakes in every once in a while – it gives me a basis with which to compare quality and quality control. Seriously, some fakes have BETTER quality and quality control than some real pairs. If you’ve […]
(1/3) When I saw this release, I didn’t care for it. The colors were kinda wack and they look/looked so damn uncomfortable. The quality – as with ALL off-whites that I’ve seen in person – was pretty bad. Glue everywhere, shitty seams, bad cuts – they looked like they’d fall apart on first wear. That […]
BTW BTW BTW, STILL speaking of LANCE MOUNTAIN – someone posted this pic on Reddit, I dropped some knowledge, then NiceKicks picked it up and acted like it was their own. Or maybe my version of events is skewed. It’s Mike McGill, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain and Tony Hawk. It’s the final scene from “The […]
#fbgroupgems …another quality control misstep…they’re missing the goddamn swoosh on the lateral 😂 I don’t have the heart to post the actual caption. See if you can convince me via DM if you want to see it.
#fbgroupgems … Air Max 90 OG volts…my 4 year old son is better with a hole puncher than this. Caption from FB: ‘FFS look at this’
BTW, speaking of Lance Mountain – do y’all even know why they keep releasing these Lance Mountains with alternate colors on each shoe? As y’all might remember – My earliest *hobby* was skateboarding…and I used to watch a million Bones Brigade (aka Powell Peralta) videos (holla @drewheifetz@f.t.l.c ). In a lot of the videos – the Powell […]
I haven’t spent much time on IG today so this is my first time seeing these…apparently they were shown by Virgil Abloh at New York Fashion Week either today or yesterday. Another Nike x Off-White collaboration.I’m catching hints of some early 2000 skate-shoe vibes. Take the upper from the P-6000, take the sole of the […]
Another interesting story about cards that was sent to me a few years back by one of my friends @ramink . If you collect ANYTHING (including shoes or sneakers) and haven’t come across this article yet – I’d suggest you google it. It’s really interesting. Basically it tells the story of this dude who, as a kid, […]
