(3/3) Now I know these Off-Whites sat for a while and even hit some sales racks. Since the initial push when they first released, the prices dropped pretty significantly. I’m no longer that guy that jumps into any release immediately – I’m more of a ‘wait and see’ kind of guy. The only releases I’ll […]
(2/3) To answer the question – yeah I got burned. But I’ll get my money back. I like getting fakes in every once in a while – it gives me a basis with which to compare quality and quality control. Seriously, some fakes have BETTER quality and quality control than some real pairs. If you’ve […]
(1/3) When I saw this release, I didn’t care for it. The colors were kinda wack and they look/looked so damn uncomfortable. The quality – as with ALL off-whites that I’ve seen in person – was pretty bad. Glue everywhere, shitty seams, bad cuts – they looked like they’d fall apart on first wear. That […]
A few people hit me up asking about the inspiration on the colorway for the Nomo’s I posted the other day so here y’all go…I believe the first time I saw this colorway (or something very similar) was on the OG Nike Air Huaurache Carnivores (the one on the bottom). Can’t say I felt like […]
(1/2) A not-very-compelling-story…Pulled up to @buffaloexchange last night before running to the shop to pick up my shipments. Came across a pair of @undercover_lab x @nike React 87’s on the racks and was a bit skeptical as I didn’t recognize the colorway…not that that’s ever stopped me before – I frequently come across samples and shoes unreleased to the general public […]
Caption: “who wants some breakfast?” For those that don’t know – these are called ‘Bacons’…one of the most sought after Air Max 90s of all time. I, for one, am happy with a retro – both OG pairs I own/owned have cracks in the soles. Thanks for the greatest AM90 of all time @123dortiz!@pgknows would be proud […]
Head on over to Sara Mart for a 1 Euro pair of the latest @virgilabloh@off____white x @nike#airmaxplus 😂 @ronsrareair@bubblekoppe@karl.lashnikov 😂 Serious question, though, how in the hell can they afford to sell these for less than the price of a regular sized pack of M&Ms?
1998 – I spent some time debating on exactly where to start…I was listening to ‘The Business of Hype’ the other day by @jeffstaple and he had @louiswcolon3 of FILA on and Lou was talking about how he grew up at a time when there weren’t really ‘sneakerheads’, there were just people who were into shoes. I think Lou […]
So…the NYC block logo…would I even give a damn about it if I hadn’t spent some seriously formative years in New York? Probably not. I moved to NYC about a year after I graduated college, I got my first apartment in NYC, I got my first ‘real’ job in NYC. I bought my first ‘real’ […]
I dug up this old pic of me wearing the first ‘sneakerhead’ sneakers I ever got. Jordan VI Infrareds that my mom bought me for my 11th birthday. I detailed my attraction to these shoes a few weeks ago…In this pic, I’m holding my dog ‘Sugar’ and we’re at San Francisco Airport. I think my […]
