The Air Raids are the shoes that had a hand in me learning about Malcolm X. Yeah. Sounds hella stupid. But it’s true. For those of y’all that are old enough to remember, Malcom X was REALLY popular around 1991-93. It all started with the @officialspikelee movie ‘Malcolm X’… Around that time, these ‘X’ baseball hats started […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
