After watching the same question How are they going to verify that the shoes they purchased are authentic? The same thing comes in my mind is scanning part. I also run a blog site https://bballsolutions.com/ and wrote many blog related to shoes, but never thought a shoe can be rented.

I don't know you, and you don't know me, but you hit the nail on the head so many times in this post: Jeff Staple being awesome (and awesome people can't be PIGEONholed)... can't stop thinking about bowling when someone says "rent shoes"... what is the world coming to... when I rent used shoes, are the insole/midsole indentations from previous wearers going to be all misaligned with my feet... $49/mo ain't bad!... the effects of sneaker subculture going main-street (I don't love it, but I still love the sneakers that I love, and nothing will change that)... culture these days being inseparable from money spent... passing interests... interests that die away as we get older... and Galaxy Foams.

I almost bought into the Galaxy Foam hype. But when I saw them in person for the first time, all I could think was, that galaxy print quality looks like output from my HP DeskJet PLUS printer in 1989. Nothanksnike.

First off, RTJ is fuckimg dope, I love RTJ4 'cause it's similar to my initials, RCJ4, 'cause I'm the 4th generation in name. Second, I can see this kind of working, people finna definitely rent out TS's, any and everything Off White, Dunk lowxs and high's. Will there be a feature for "rent to own" or just strictly renting?
