The 06 Grape V was a chaotic release.. Most places
were only allowing reservations. I had to buy an overpriced t-shirt to reserve a pair. Also, they were 10 dollars more because they were LS. I am glad this IX release isn’t hyped up!! JB listened to the consumers and put out a project that...
The LA Gear?! I see the ads for them all the time on IG! If they release the Olajuwon pair or the Joe Montana LA gear hiking boots, I might have to scoop them.
What grade do you teach? You can incorporate sneakers and some Jordan history into an SEL presentation at the beginning of the year. I used an “If you walked in my shoes” activity. I printed out a bunch of color sheets with all kinds of sneakers. I even had Crocs and Doc Martens. The kids picked...
Facts! I blame their parents. TI’s son King didn’t know that 2pac was an actor and Will Smith was a rapper.!! We can be “old heads” or we can be “OGs”. I try not to talk down to the youth. But when I they get on a soap box and say, “Buck the Legend Blue XIs! Give me the gammas!” They make...
I am with you… History was rewritten when the shoe game turned into big business…. The same thing happened with hip hop. These things happen when critical thinking and creativity disappear. Some of us take this ish to heart bc we were birthed or lived through an era that was marred by gun...
🤣 I wish I didnt know who he is… Bro is 47 and still trying to be a tough guy. Talking down to the dudes on the show and clowning Dee-One. Where was that energy when Tru Life and the Fruit of Islam was on his head? Or when Fredo Bang told him that Dee-One was his middle school teacher? On a...
I agree… I have a pair of Reverse Infrared Air Max 90’s as my beaters. I beat the hell outta them! I beat them like they gave me counterfeit money and sold me bad dope….. I am glad that we can finally clean the air Jordan III midsole. I remember all of the Angelus paint talk…. That midsole made...
You all are roasting on him about his sneakers. He has other pairs on deck, but he likes wearing the broken in pair. My homie used to like wearing comfortable shoes, but people roasted him all the time. He had plenty of heat; he had to pull it out to put out the flames. After the smoke was...
🤷🏾♂️ I have seen a lot worse….. Do what you fee bro… My homie in college used to rock beat Velcro EZ-Striders (Easy Spirit knock offs) around campus. Everyone clowned him, then he pulled out a pair of dead stock white and red 14s while everyone was complaining about the current model of...
Big Facts…. I try not to look at the comments on those posts. I give some of them a pass bc they have/had poor role models. Old fools never display the attributes of a wise gardner, therefore when their seeds grow up, they don’t have all of the necessary skills for survival. Critical thinking...
That is my era. I still rock champion hoodies, army fatigues, and timbs. That age group also has permanent open face gold teeth and cornrows that connect to a receding hairline.
I respect your opinion. Different strokes, for different folks. I get it… I have made this joke several times, but those “custom sneakers” are “dehydrated and ashy as ****!!” They are the sneaker equivalent to Doc Rivers and PJ Carlesimo’s vocal cords. No amount of surgery can bring those...

Respect! This gives off 80’s vibe. Growing, up, I remember seeing a dude rocking the fire red IV’s with a Jheri curl and a Thriller jacket. U couldn’t tell him nothing!! He was electric. Ever step he took, set off a display of pyrotechnics. On a side note, it would be dope if...
Peace bro! I appreciate that. That was a chaotic release that ended up being a scavenger hunt. (NYC, Chicago, and LA received most of the stock.) The leg work was driving around instead of calling a bunch of stores. I had to manage my minutes because I only had free nights and weekends. A...
I get it, but I don’t get it. He should have been compensated for his time, travel, and expenses. However, he ended the relationship over a meager profit?! Good relationship are invaluable! They are aren’t measured on profit. I gifted several people on instyle shoes/sole collector access to...
You didn’t scoop a pair? Were you the person that hooked a couple folks up with Cool Grey XI during winter 22-23? That ish reminded me of the old NikeTalk and sole collector. I will keep my eyes open.
Wow! Settle for a 12.5? I have never seen a 12.5 in the stores, but I have seen a 13.5. I was able to secure a 12, but the 12.5 is damn near impossible to get. I am just gonna ride it out with the 12.
