Originally posted on Housakicks What happened to Jordan Brand stopping the production of the Air Jordan 3 model? In 2014 The company’s VP said that the Jordan 3 was going to be put in the vault until further notice, but the way this plan has been implemented is a farce. The Sports Blue Jordan 3 was supposed…
Originally posted on Housakicks Evidences of Nike’s Edit To Amplify campaign continue to pile up as the brand keeps foreshadowing the sneakers on its 2018 release calendar. Last week, we were told about the return of another all time sneaker heads favorite- the Air Jordan 11 Concord, which to me is not surprising at all. Nike is doing exactly…
Originally posted on Housakicks I got up early on Saturday braving the icy roads to pick up the Jordan 11 Win Like 96; I wasn’t going to pick them up until I got challenged on one of my Real vs Fake comparisons. The individual who constructively criticized my observations pointed out that the retail pairs also…
100% Authentic, brand new in the original box. The Air Jordan 4 Retro The iconic Air Jordan 4 burst onto the scene in 1989 with the perfect mix of on-court performance and off-court style. Now, the Retro version of the classic shoe is a streetwear staple that remains popular decades after it originally dropped. The…
Originally posted on Housakicks Nike’s Edit To Amplify strategy is written all over their 2018 release calendar. We already know the Black Cement Air Jordan 3 is making a return next year. I had already shared a post in the Summer alluding to the imminent revisitation of the Air Jordan 11 Concord. Jordan Brand confirmed that the Concord…

Originally posted on Housakicks There has been a shift in the sneaker market in the last couple of years, it’s no longer a reseller’s market but rather a buyer’s market . There are countless examples Chris from ARCH and I️ have provided in that regard. We are talking from first hand experience because we ourselves are…
Originally posted on Housakicks What I’m about to say in the next couple of paragraphs is entirely based on my own interpretation based on past observations and my background in mathematics. Jordan Brand dropped the Jordan 11 Win Like 96 incognito a few days ago in select locations. It was to be expected because the same…
Originally posted on Housakicks I️ decided to do a little bit of scouting on Black Friday. My main objective was to see what kind of traffic stores were getting. My guinea pig was Lakeforest Mall in Montgomery County, Maryland. Upon arrival I️ was able to pull in the 5th parking space from the mall entrance which…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Fake Air Jordan 12 XII Doernbecher is already out, and I’ve spotted an eBay seller with them. He only has one feedback so it won’t be hard for anyone to figure out who he/she is. Here are quick ways to identify the replicas. By the way I’m using the official pictures…
Originally posted on Housakicks The Complexcon event geared toward bringing together pop culture, art, food,style, sports, music, and more took place last week and was epic. During the event, a pair of Jordan retro, the Air Jordan 1 Gold Top 3 aka Complexcon was officially unveiled and became an internet sensation. Yesterday during one of my Sherlock…
Originally posted on Housakicks I read an article on Footwear News which raised my eyebrows once more. Last week I wrote about my discontent with mainstream media outlets nominating the Off White Air Jordan 1 as the most coveted shoe of the year. In my argument, my I was directing may attention to the sample size they…
Originally posted on Housakicks Yesterday I shared a post about the very first openly fake Yeezy store in China; I’m amazed that this store hasn’t been shut down but during one of my conversations with Chris from ARCH, he said, It isn’t easy to shut down these bootleg stores in China without a lengthy lawsuit, their laws…
Originally posted on Housakicks The green Air Jordan 6 Gatorade is set to officially release in early December; fake pairs have been out for quite some time now but without the backdrop of an official pair, it’s hard to do a comparison. Last week “Sam Group” released what I’m assuming are official pictures of the shoes…
Originally posted on Housakicks I shared a post yesterday elaborating a bit more about the Nike DTC ( Direct To Consumer) campaign, and if you are paying attention like my buddy Chris from ARCH says, you’ll notice that everything Nike is doing as of late is geared toward the DTC. The Air Jordan 11 “Win Like 82”…
Originally posted on Housakicks Nike’s relationship with its longtime distribution channels might be coming to an end, and very soon. The DTC ( Direct To Consumer) push is definitely the brand’s top priority. There are red flags everywhere indicating that Nike is no longer content with the “wholesale” aspect of running its business. I was just…
Originally posted on Housakicks I’m so glad that I was led to check how well the Air Jordan XXXII performed sales wise this morning. Last week, NPD’s Matt Powell opened a can of worms when He said that Adidas had surpassed Jordan as the #2 selling brandnationwide. There is some truth to his statement but not the…
Originally posted on Housakicks Most revolutions were birthed with humble beginnings and a genuine heart; after the revolution comes the era of prosperity. And it’s usually in the time of prosperity that trouble begins and soon after, everything collapses. The sneaker reselling industry was once ruled by only a few renown shops; at the time flightclub was the…

Originally posted on Housakicks I’m no longer interested in looking at sneakers from a consumer perspective. Whether it be sneakers, electronics, household items, etc, the smart consumer must understand that these big corporations and brands actually hire psychologists to study the stimuli behind our buying habits. All this in order to find ways to generate more…
Originally posted on Housakicks In this world that we live in, seldom are the things that can stand the test of time. The Word of God embodied in what is commonly known as the Bible has stood the test of time. A few other things have been able to achieve its great success. Talk to anyone in the…
Originally posted on Housakicks Adidas has definitely mastered the art of connecting with the current breed of collectors. There is nothing new under the sun, somehow many of the mainstream media websites think they understand something guys who actually live and breathe the sneaker game don’t understand. Jordan Retros have always sat on shelves; as a matter of…
