(3/12) A year or so flies by and, through following Jaysse on Facebook and contacting him time and time with my random pickups & sneaker app ideas, I’m watching this dude build his dream brick by brick… I distinctly remember him posting a pic of himself standing in the hallway of the house he’s living […]
(2/12) Now, it’s a couple of months later in 2013, and my phone dings and its an eBay alert. It’s a message from eBay telling me that I’ve got a message from another member. I open it up and I get the strangest message I’ve ever received on ebay: “Hey man, I love these I […]
(1/12) So the year was 2013 and my girlfriend and I had just moved down to San Francisco after spending the prior two years up in Tahoe, and I was fresh on my thrift store grind. If you don’t spend much time in SF, the thrift stores are of legend. Nothing like NY thrift stores […]
Isn’t @niketalk_com birthday coming up soon? 😂Just a little throwback Saturday. If you know, you know. If you don’t – search for this image on #niketalkTo me this was peak #niketalk . Dipset, fitteds 3 sizes too big, and obscenely xxxxl throwbacks. Harlem.Back in the day there was no Instagram and there was no Twitter and there damn sure weren’t […]
v Wow. Yay. Again. Another ‘re-imagined’ Jordan V ‘Grapes’. How many times can JB ‘re-imagine’ the same shoe that people keep on buying? I suppose it’s not the same people buying over and over, but it’s probably more new generations of sneakerheads picking these up so I probably shouldn’t bitch about it…I suppose I’m just […]
Haters will say it’s photoshopped.… So with a single *left* and a single *right* shoe going for a bit more than $100k total, it had me thinking – which sneakerhead could afford to buy and wear these without worrying all that much about the financial hit he’d take? … I mean, I know all y’alls […]
And could I forget about the *single* greatest *single* left shoe sale of all time? Yup, the Nike Air Mag (from Back to the Future II) that recently sold on the @shoezeum ebay account…… This shoe – crumbles and all – sold for a whopping $92,100. That’s almost *DOUBLE* my yearly salary as a high school teacher. […]
Posting that *single* Vin Baker PE – and the price jumped from $850 to $1000 after we posted it – “By simply posting, The Sneaker Savant helps you get more for your single shoes” 😂 ) – got me thinking about other famous *single* shoes that went for a pretty penny…… Back in 2015 this […]
The irony is not lost on me. Remember, this is part of a pair I posted the other day that is kind of like the cornerstone of the first version of Jordan Brand athletes…Vin Bakers signature model the ‘Vindicate’ in all it’s Player Exclusive glory. So, once again, I bought a pair for $180 back […]
For those of you who followed the story – I’ve found another pair, so that makes…what…13 pairs? (or is it 14? 15? I’ve lost count at this point). If you haven’t been following my account for long scroll down my feed a couple of weeks as I did a HUGE 9+ part write up on […]
