Damn I didn’t even scroll that far before I closed it out…
I was just thinking about him the other day too…After the Huf AM1 drop…Now I need to go get some fresh air 😢…
That’s true but the DQM 90’s don’t have the overt branding like the Alphanumerics had with the actual brand logo being on the toe of the shoe…
Like @sole searchin pointed out up above, if anything they have an out by being able to release the colorway as the Lightening variation without the...
Napster changed the game…But those 8 hour download sessions over dialup, that left me listening to two brand new songs afterwards, had me looking for an actual job :lol:…
We had a Sam Goody in my local mall that had one of those listening stations where you could listen to the new albums…They kicked me out because I spent hours in there listening to 36 Chambers when it released :lol:
Now that I’m looking at it, the tongues look mesh on the new pair and if...
2024’s will have the logo embossed rather than stitched and lyrics printed in the back of the tongue tags…OG collectors can rest easy knowing their pairs are still sacred :lol:…IF this is a legit pair that is…
That’s the catch 22 right there…I honestly think people can’t just be happy nowadays unless someone else tells them they can…
Through my lens drops like the Huf AM1’s and Linen AF1’s being fairly attainable, even having low resell, is a good thing because I know these types of shoes have always...
This is my headspace as well…But then again that’s probably a result of the time that I came up in sneakers…I simply buy what I like and in recent years it’s mostly been stuff I’ve been able to get for retail or below, luckily…
Sometimes something that’s “hype” will catch my eye, Futura SB’s...
Yes they were, but not the fat tongue “skate” versions…And to be fair, the ones that have been floating around aren’t exact retros either…It just feels like they’re slowly approaching that point…25th anniversary of the OG SB set honestly wouldn’t surprise me…
That’s exactly right…Since these releases are based on Nike’s business circa 2021-2022, then we should be getting flooded with all kinds of stuff in ‘26-‘27 as a result of whatever happens throughout this year…Unless they change their approach…All good for actual sneakerheads, for now, but not...
I fully believe SB’s getting a full on retro are coming…With those “Pro B” colorways floating around I’d imagine it’ll be sooner rather than later…
Only OG release I can see being an issues is probably something like the Alphanumeric Pro B’s since Alphanumeric which went out of business a a...
There’s a disconnect here it’s that nobody is saying retros are bad, just the opposite in fact…99% of us are on here because / for retro’s…But Nike is basing almost their entire business model around LIMITED retro releases and they’re hitting a wall as a result (Worst fiscal quarter in nearly 25...
It’s disingenuous to say a few niche models are popular among the demographic they’re being by created for…Basketball players will buy basketball shoes, skaters will buy skate shoes…Joe schmo walking down the street isn’t buying those models, and Joe is the demographic that keeps Nike in...
Here’s how Nike has been playing the game for at least a couple decades now…
Release a limited sneaker that almost nobody can get at…The people who miss have the FOMO vibe and buy what’s made available to them from the mainline catalog…People see others flossing the Nike mainline stuff and head...
I’m honestly shocked at the amount of negativity the announcements of these grail re-releases is receiving…Galaxy Foams, Wu Tang Dunks, these UNDFT 4’s all getting shade…I knew “sneaker culture” transitioned into a resell focus a very long time ago but damn…People honestly can’t get up on a pair...
