If you collect shoes and don’t know anything about the peak of the sports card era from the mid-80’s to the early 90’s, I would highly recommend ‘Jack of All Trades’ on Netflix. Why am I, The Sneaker Savant, telling you about a documentary about sports cards on Netflix? Because I feel like the collectible […]
(2/3) I didn’t think much of it for the first couple of hours…I figured I’d do some research when we got home, but on the drive I started thinking a bit more about them. …On our way home, we stopped at a Chevys in Auburn, and I pulled the shoes out of the trunk to […]
(1/3) True story. …In 2010, shortly after moving back to California from New York, my girlfriend and I took a trip from Tahoe (where we were living) down to Santa Cruz. On our way home, I always liked to stop at @crossroadstrading and @buffaloexchange so we made a day of it.…With our new handy iPhones and the ability to […]
Just got this comment from @thelegitcheckapp , who I am absolutely rooting for. Once again – I never stated ‘these are fake’. I posted our process and I stated ‘we believe these to be fake.’…Not that I don’t think others know more than I do – I admittedly know very little about this particular pair (mostly because […]
I always had trouble figuring out what to do with shoes that had sentimental value but not much else. So one of my goals when starting a sneaker grading company was to find a better way to *preserve* sentimental sneakers.…At the time, I was looking for a pair of shoes that would be a great […]
(5/9) $21,000 Jeter XI High authenticity check Cont’d……So I reached out to a few of the consignment shops to see if they could send me comparison pics and not a single shop responded in kind (or, responded with any sensical response). The seller on eBay didn’t respond. And GOAT wasn’t helpful when I asked for […]
(3/9) Jeter XI Highs $21k authenticity check cont’d……So, being that I’m not a fan of blue suede shoes (shoutout to @elvis ), I had to do a little more research on the pair in question. I watched a bunch of videos and read a bunch of articles and talked with a bunch of other trusted colleagues in […]
For all my old heads – tell me I’m lyin’. Back in the day, if you played pickup basketball, you damn sure didn’t show up to a game wearing a Michael Jordan jersey. If you did, you’d better believe you’d have everybody coming for your ass on that court. Dudes would go out of their […]
Isn’t it #wuwednesday or something? #warriorswednesday ? Messing around on @ebay looking for some vintage HTM Terra Humaras in my size and came across these @nike#htm wallabee monstrosities… With that laser cut heel and Wally’s being the go-to for the @wutangclan in the late 90s/early 2000s – is it possible this pair was inspires by the @wutangclan ? I mean, for real? Look at that HTM logo […]
