Another Air Force 1 in the natural materials collection, the Indigo, utilizes elements of the plant in this more sustainable model of the classic. The tongue features an embroidered Indigo plant and the heel has a description of the plant. The Swoosh, medial, lateral and heel all feature repurposed canvas and the outsole utilizes Nike…
100% Authentic. These are the actual pictures. Source: Size 10.5 – Nike Blazer Mid 77 Vintage White Black 2019 I sold the shoes pictured in this post on StockX. When I sent the shoes, they were in perfect condition, brand new. By the time the box reached StockX, or when someone pulled the box out…
The Jordan 1 Low has been rolling out the color. Each pair mimics a version of the Mid or the High OG. This pair picks up on the Black and Crimson High OG with a similar color, but a different name. These are labeled as Arctic Orange. It’s a clean look for the low.
I’ve addressed the discussion on knock-off Jordans, but this is the best explanation I’ve seen. No more words, if you have the time, just watch this. Kari did a fantastic job of discussing this in detail.
I took a few seconds to discuss the founder of Somewhere In America explaining how flagrant Jordan 1s buckle in the outsole when you squeeze them before I jumped into an analysis and authentication of the Jordan 1. Buy these via this eBay affiliate link:
This new iteration of the Air Jordan 4 Retro has been labeled the Oreo 2021. This is because there is a previous “Oreo” 4 that is mostly black. This new version looks like a model that MJ could have worn during his time with the Bulls. The construction is fantastic and one of the most…
Men’s Bravo Natural Mauve Source: Men’s Bravo Natural Mauve I own four pair of Brandblack sneakers. The models are always experimental and futuristic looking. The brand has a tendency to really develop technical sneakers which can lead to some problematic issues on the first few wears. Every pair that I own, I had to wear…

I’m a huge fan of Christopher Dixon. I’ve talked about him on this site on a number of occasions. Most recently, he delivered us the sketchbook: What are the Creative Discovery Tools? | An All in One Intro To Sneaker Design Sketchbook Today, he launched what I hope becomes a series that I can ride…
Another Clarks Women’s model that is very similar to the Annadel Parker. The Gisselle Cove features the same construction with a small change to the midsole section which is made of cork. The suede upper still makes this a very nice three season casual option.
Once again, this is not the typical sneaker information on the channel, but footwear consists of more than Nike sneakers and I think it’s cool to highlight other brands that make it into the rotation for people in our household. My wife bought these from Macy’s and the incorrect name was attached to the UPC…
Reebok only has about two small sections on the wall at retail outlets. They are typically combined with New Balance, Fila and adidas. In many retail stores they don’t have any floor space at all, and due to the sheer volume of Nike product in every sneaker store, Reebok, which shouldn’t be overlooked, can be…
The Yeezy is adidas’ flagship sneaker line. The UltraBoost used to carry that badge, but there haven’t been many UBs dropped that have maintained SRP. The latest UB21 was immediately placed on sale after Covid disrupted the marketing around the sneaker. Actually, that’s not true. The shoe was available at the end of 2019 going…
A little bit different video featuring a wedge from Clarks. The shoe features Clarks’ Ultimate Cushion footbed which functions almost like memory foam. The upper is a perforated black suede and the cork wedge with a sticky, gum rubber outsole is all classic Clarks, in a package made for date night.
Brand of sneakers sold Resale is basically Nike and a few pair here and there. In this region, Yeezy isn’t available at all, so if I don’t visit any retail outlets and find deals, selling another brand in resale is near impossible. This speaks to the health of the sneaker industry, but it also speaks…

Mountain View, CA (July 13, 2021)… BMW i Ventures today announced an investment in Natural Fiber Welding, Inc. (NFW), the leading creator of all-natural, plastic-free alternatives to materials such as leathers, foams, and textiles. The financing round will enable the company to scale from the batch processing of materials to commercial roll-to-roll production. The announcement…
Clearweather has an appropriately named shoe dropping this week. Why is it appropriately named? The Virgin Spaceship took off this week and made Richard Branson the first billionaire in space. What could he have done for the world with the money it took to get to space? Who knows, but you can’t be mad at…
The Shadow has become a staple in Nike’s GR rotation of Forces designed with women in mind. The shoes feature a Lunarlon outsole which makes it more lightweight than the original Uptown and because of this the shoe has moved from “for women” to unisex as guys are rocking certain colorways of the stacked heel…
Average Sold Price In previous RRA’s I haven’t broken down my profit. I’d like to do that here, but it will be confusing. I’ll try to make it as clear as possible. First I’ll give you the Average resale price of the shoes sold on StockX which was $112.62 before fees. After StockX fees, the…
Number of Resale Transactions in June 2021 I had 292 transactions in June 2021. The majority of footwear sold was in the mid-tier price range. This again reinforces the majority of sneakers sold aren’t at the high to premium end. There has to be a caveat here. If you reach out to a reseller who…
Source: el mero taco I haven’t felt compelled to write a food highlight in a long time. I guess it doesn’t help that we didn’t eat at a restaurant for more than a year due to Covid-19, but since we got vaccinated, we’ve begun to venture out as a family as often as possible since…
