Back in 2014 or so, I came up with this idea about sneaker grading and preservation. I started looking at the ‘collection’ posts on Niketalk and found some of the most fascinating shoes belonged to this guy… @joerdan23tn_kooth . I sent him a DM, we swapped numbers and had a multi-hour discussion about sneaker preservation and grading. It was a great conversation and we still talk to this day…he’s got some crazy heat but keeps a lot of it tucked away. If you’re into prototypes and samples and crazy OG hybrids, give this dude a follow.
