Sometimes the Internet can be like the most devilish place in existence, and other times it can be a perfect place. Not even 24 hours after posting about the pair I’ve been on the lookout for more than 18 years – the Black and Red AF1 Jewel’s – I got a DM from @digglahhh and he had […]
This entry is too cool not to share: So In honor of my buddy’s contest #tssgrailbox (WHICH YOU ALL SHOULD ENTER B/C HE GIVING AWAY A COUPLE BOXES TO STORE YOUR SHOES FOR YOU SNEAKERHEADS!) I thought I’d give a little story about the recent purchase I just made. This is a brief story of why The @ari Menthol […]
So I’m looking at the search results for the hashtag #tssgrailbox and I’m not seeing all that many entries. I’ve received several messages from people asking ‘how do I enter?’ and…sometimes I can overcomplicate things, so let me just say it real simply…***Post a story or a video on your account about your favorite pair and use […]
Another shot of my NYC AF1s…the ones from my last post. As the title states…this was the first box I ever made…with my own two hands. The idea was there and had been stewing first a while…I called up @tapplastics and asked them how much a sheet of acrylic would cost and I think it was around […]
I don’t remember the first time I saw the NYC block logo by @john_c_jay, but I do know that it made an impact. I’ve always loved this logo…I’ve considered buying several trash shoes for the logo alone. I don’t know what it is, or why I’m so drawn to it, but it’s something I’m always partial […]
Saw these on @pgknows feed and I was immediately transported back to 2000…the first time I ever bid on a pair of shoes on eBay. I had just made my first successful purchase on eBay – a used copy of @snoopdogg#doggystle on CD (I had the cassette for 5+ years, so I felt emboldened to try my hand at […]

Tell me a great story about a pair of shoes that you own that you’re inextricably tied to. These boxes were made to preserve history. Like that pair LL Cool […]
The Beastie Boys video ‘So What Cha Want’ came out in like 1992 or so… I was really a skateboarder from like the age of 5 until the age of 13, and after that point I really started playing A LOT of basketball. The Beastie Boys and this video, IMO, was another one of those […]
The Jordan VI’s were the first pair I ever convinced my mom to buy for me. She bought them for my birthday and I was so amped to get them. A day or two after I got them, my cousins and I walked down to the river and went swimming. As we were about to […]
Because I didn’t have a good solution to my ‘preservation’ problem and was worried about my shoes crumbling away in a deep dark closet, I sold every single pair in this picture. Yes, the OG VI’s. Yes, even the Pigeon Dunks. Yes, even the DQM 90s. Every. Single. Pair. The ones that I miss the […]
