For the fourth and final prototype of our ‘encasing’ product…we did loads of research on materials and thicknesses. Having tested it (in the UV chamber above), we finally had a product that passed our rigorous UV requirements. And to boot – the acrylic was twice the thickness of all our other prototypes. We went through […]
For the third version of our ‘encasing’ product…we went a little ‘outside the box’ and thought of framing the case with aluminum. The ‘glass’ was actual glass (not acrylic) and was thin enough for easy shipping, but the aluminum extrusions were just way too thick (and cumbersome) for our liking. Back to the drawing board. […]
For the second version of our ‘encasing’ product…we went to a third party and had them build us an ‘easy to ship’ version. Having tested it (in the UV chamber above), we realized our product was just like all the others on the market – NO UV protection and not really meant for preservation. Sure, […]
For the very first version of our ‘encasing’ product…I went out and bought a sheet of acrylic that was 4 ft. x 6 ft. I figured I could make one complete box with that much material and I was correct. Overall, it took more than 10 hours and all kinds of trial and error to […]
Can you spot the any flaws on this recently released pair of Air Max 1 Crepes? Swipe to see what I see… *SPOILER* Look at the height of the midsole on the medial. These types of inconsistencies drive me crazy!
And now, back to sneakerboot season. Anyone cop? I’m a huge fan of the original (non-sneakerboot) model – the New Balance 710 hiking boot. Lots of versions and colorways available – if you’re going to buy – go a half size up from your regular NB size….TheSneakerSavant@gmail.com…www.thesneakersavant.com
One of our followers (or someone we were following) posted a pic of these on foot a while back. I did a little searching around and FINALLY found a retailer that had them. If you’re interested: http://bit.ly/1jS44Aa…thesneakersavant@gmail.com…www.thesneakersavant.com
I’m sure just about EVERYBODY knows this…but if you didn’t – this is where the design came from. I wish they’d do this with MORE classic hip hop album covers. Can you imagine what some @snoopdogg (Doggystyle) dunks would look like?…thesneakersavant@gmail.com…www.thesneakersavant.com
Came across these Nike Air Max 90 ‘Moon Landing’ FAKES the other day. If you ask me, they did a good job with ’em (the tongue tag not withstanding). Also, the moon rocks on the upper are less pronounced than the authentic pairs. Keep your eyes peeled as fakes are getting pretty damn good.
Got my hands on some Yo! MTV Raps @officialbigdaddykane x @puma‘s the other day. Kane on the tongue, donkey chain embroidered near the heel of the right shoe, ‘Kane’ where ‘Suede’ used to be and ‘Yo! MTV Raps’ interior and laces…so dope. Give me these over some OVO 10’s any day!
