Some of ya’ll might remember my buddy @danposite…he passed away a year or so ago, but I’ve kept in touch with his brother @tommygvns ever since. I asked if he wanted to share a story about his brother and this is what he sent me:Ok so back in 2011-12 Danny and I were sitting in the living room […]
After we had been dating for roughly 9 years, my wife and I got married in July of 2012. I met her a month after moving to New York in September of 2003 and we have been together ever since… Being that we were on the east coast for several years and a large part […]
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 […]

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 […]
