Did I establish a 'sneaker card' market? I think I just did...

More about those trash NFTs.

Is the sneaker game a wrap?

There be no shelter here.

My first pair of 'bootlegs'

#AirMaxPax breakdown & Link to purchase.

So...about those rentable sneakers...

Reading this will not make your day any better.

Don't buy these shoes.

When is 'enough' enough?

What's in a New Year's resolution?

Dearest eBay...

The first time I ever set foot in a @buffaloexchange was when I was maybe 11 years old.

WTF is a Sneaker Savant and why am I getting emails from him?

Golden State Warriors PE's

A Ma Maniere x Jordan 3 - How many of y’all are following the saga here with this release?  

Damn near perfect pair of DMP VI’s - only really flaw I found was some tarnishing on the gold strip of the heel pulls. What should I grade them at?

I haven’t come across a ‘fakes’ site like this in quite a while... $35 will get you any pair on the site!!!

I know I said I was totally into the idea of backwards swooshes, but I dunno about this one... @travisscott x #airmax1 looks modified...why are there round panels?

Appreciation post for the pair of shoes I enjoy wearing the most (lately).

Not sure if any of y’all been following this #meebits stuff, but I got strangely addicted to window-shopping these little animated #nfts ...

Nike has plans to be carbon neutral by 2024...which probably means a whole bunch of things

Someone recently sent these to me for authentication 😂

on the #airmaxpax cards - everything is finished and ready for shipment!

A Ma Maniere x Jordan 3 - How many of y’all are following the saga here with this release?  

Well, shit, man. $1.8m for some Yeezy 1 samples...Who in their right mind could have predicted this?   

I don’t know who needs to hear this but pics of shoes on ratty toilet backgrounds don’t sell as well as pics of shoes on clean, well-lit backgrounds

Can y’all forgive me? @martine_rose x #monarchs . Really sliding into the dad groove. #wdywt #kotd👟 #kotd

How many of y’all really know the struggle? I’ve lived in 10 different homes in the last 15 years...dragging my sneakers from home to new city to country to new state to new coast….

The same day I was inundated with posts about Kobe leaving Nike, I was also inundated with a post from @futurevvorld discussing the merits of Nike (or other sneaker companies)

I thought after Kobe’s death we’d be seeing neverending release after release after release of Kobe’s and Kobe storylines...

The funny thing I’ve been finding about NFTs is that it is still super complicated and daunting for a lot of people.

Supreme 96’s. Are people still like really checking for Supreme? I know they are...but how much juice did they lose?

If you’ll notice - I’m rarely ever the first to post about ‘breaking news’...I mean...I’m not a journalist and I’m not a news source...

I know *a little bit* about cards. I know that this MJ card is easily the most popular basketball card of the modern era (is it still considered modern?).

My god. All that talk about @easymoneysniper with the size 18 submarine sandwiches, and @tommycashworld with the fake 3 foot long feet...

When 2pac died in 1996, a whole generation of rabid rap fans were scouring The Source magazine and CD stores for someone who could fill the void that pac had left...

I know there are some Lebron fans out there - what’s the consensus on these retro’s?  

When did @easymoneysniper sign with @adidas ? #bigfootsighting

I like this question. Even though I was wrong and I realized after the tweet - they’re actually 1986’s - these are mine...something I could see Stanley Hudson from the office rockin’.

Last year, Air Max Day was mostly about new silhouettes - the Air Max 2090 comes to mind, and, although super comfortable it isn’t exactly a memorable shoe.

Looks like the IG and Twitter world wants to talk about @lilnasx ’s ‘Satan’ shoes…so i guess let’s talk about it.  

These super soft buttery 2003 Air Max 95’s have got me feelin pretty FILA. Every time I slip these on I can’t help but think of @raekwon ’s F.I.L.A. (Fly International Luxurious Art) moniker.

Well...the #snkrs app showed me a ‘sold out’ button before the notification had even finished vibrating, so I wasn’t able to get my hands on a pair of DQM 90’s.

This pic took WAY longer to create than I thought it would and it really didn’t come out even half as good as I hoped it would.

Back in like 2004 or so, I discovered Fulton Street and the Albee Square Mall in Brooklyn. I was a few years late, but when I found it I was in sneaker heaven.

As dumb as I think ‘Air Max Day’ is and how we just got tricked into ‘caring’, this shoeliday has been on my mind for the past few months now (ever since the first pairs of those bacons surfaced).

I’m the Lebron James of this sneaker authentication game. It’s Kanye West’s #sundayservice yo!!! 😂

I still think is one of the dopest card themes in the set...as far as I know only the 3rd card has been pulled (by @johncoco )

First - I kinda want to apologize for all of the ads that I’ve been sending across your timelines...

I know someone out there knows way more about this ad than I do...but my first thought automatically goes to #fearandloathinginlasvegas …

Thoughts? IMO the whole concept is of mashing two previous collabs is a bit too much. I wouldn’t mind seeing the backwards swoosh on all kinds of OG colorways, though, I kinda dig that concept.

So what’s the consensus?  

IMO the AM90 is the perfect shoe to introduce non-sneakerheads to Air Maxes. Structured enough to look solid, nothing odd (like the misplaced swoosh on the 1), and crazy enough to turn heads.

I have a pair of 1987 OG Air Max 1’s. Most of you know the story about how I acquired them (if you need a refresher look at my story highlights).

Nike Air Max Light (II). The ONLY pair of these I ever owned was a few years back - it was like gold, orange, and maybe reddish...it was a cool pair, but...I dunno.

Good morning to everyone except those that think these aren’t real.

Should Tailwind 79’s be considered ‘Air Maxes’? I mean...they DO have hidden air bags…(as do Air Force 1’s).

Someone hit me the other day asking me about how limited the cards I’ve been creating are/were. I was kind of hesitant to put it all out there, but I figured...

Coming WAY quicker than I really hoped (or planned)

This one always cracks me up. I go through probably 150 authentications a month and seriously half of the shoes that are sent to me make me think of this figure..

So...if all of the promo and pics weren’t enough - I wanted to show you the LAST insert card in the #dunkydunk set…the one I’m MOST excited about...the eBay shards (swipe to see)

It’s easy to complain and throw stones at Marcus Jordan and Westcoast Joe, but as soon as it comes to suggestions at the corporate level, I’m kind of at a loss.

These are pretty self-explanatory. There were FIVE different Supreme dunks that came out during the dunk renaissance and these are them…(aren’t another four pairs of lows dropping today)?  

Was it 6 pairs, 4 pairs, or 3 pairs of Mags that Westcoat Joe ‘found’ in a storage unit?  

Who needs bots when you have nepotism?’ - @sankofafw in my DMs after I posted about that Nike exec stepping down...

I knew I had heard the name RTFKT , I just didn’t remember where. Looked it up again and found it. ‘The X Evolutions.’

Well the question came up way earlier than I anticipated so I’m giving y’all the answer way earlier than I had planned…Yes, I’m aware that this is an Air Max 90 and an Air Max is clearly not an SB... 

Carhartt cards in hand...

The post I made the other day...I feel like it went over everyone’s head. And I expected it to...

Alright y’all...so...the Dunk cards. Dunky Dunks.  #DunkyDunks

Don’t see too many PEs for this guy floating around... @shareefrahim_

Hmmmmm...how about that jumpman? Can’t lie - size tag looks legit on first glance.

Sorry y’all...I’ve been SUPER busy living in the matrix over the past week or so...

I often wonder about this...who is pushing these prices?

Someone hit me the other day asking me why we haven’t seen any Ready Made x Nike Blazers on the fake sites yet…

Love (the idea of) this shoe. I love just about anything in the Air Max Plus line - especially those that haven’t been retroed yet.

True or false? @ me

Gotta say if I hadn’t decided to stay away from new purchases this year I mighta forgot I owned these...

This is SUPER old news - it’s so old that it can only be considered ‘news’ by someone looking at historical texts - but back in 2016

Y’all know DQM 90s are like my favorite shoe of all time

I don’t totally know the demographics of y’all out there in Instagram-land who are following my account, but I know there seems to be a good mix of ages...

Looks like I finally found a pair of Nike ACG’s that have been holding up well to the elements.

I’m assuming I’m a bit late to the party on this one, but this is an interesting twist…

Just when you thought we hit the peak...there is now, apparently, a school for sneakerheads.

I remember the first nike.com sneaker ‘release’ that I tried for...the Fire Red Jordan 4 Laser back in 2005.

An active follower hit me up the other day and asked me what I thought of the two pics above - he wanted to know if I thought they were the exact same shoe…

“One good thing about music - when it hits, you feel no pain” - Bob Marley

BTW...pulled the trigger on these 2018 Marbury 361 shoes…not totally sure what I think about them but they’re a good price and really just want to see what they’re like in hand.  

Thanks to @overhypedkicks for the hookup on these VC BB4’s - by far my favorite court shoe of all time.
