For some reason the change to Winter arrives in a 24-hour timespan. Everyone is wearing shorts on Wednesday and by sunset of the same day, everyone is trying to figure out why 72 on the temp display for AC doesn’t feel the same as 72 when the heat is on. With the quick change in…
Source: Footwear for Women, Men, and Kids | SOREL Sometimes you want to wear something that doesn’t need to be paired with the same brand’s apparel. If you’re wearing a Japanese denim and you need a clean, waterproof boot without a logo disrupting the color of the wash and jacket you’re wearing, it’s nice to…
It’s actually hard to come up with a pun for On. I didn’t want a post about the products currently available via the On-Running website which can easily translate to streetwear and casual style to be corny, but here we are. Although I wrote that On-Running’s distribution strategy after the brand IPO’d seemed to be…

As the hottest summer on record winds down and hopefully fall weather begins to give us some relief, it’s time to break out those kicks from previous seasons or refresh the wardrobe with something fresh for 2023. I typically refrain from dropping styles from high profile brands in these lists, but some of the styles…

Source: Saucony Originals | Saucony New Balance has become the lifestyle running sneaker of choice for the industry. In resale, pairs of certain drops from Joe FreshGoods to ADL can garner ridiculous prices. This is on par with classic Nike Air Max series shoes which don’t have to be limited edition drops to drive up…
The unfortunate state of sneaker media on every social platform is every site, every influencer knows that Nike and Jordan Brand drive the dialogue. Sneaker culture was once about finding something a lot of people weren’t rocking and styling it with different shoelaces to give the appearance of having more kicks than you really owned….
This image above is a concept website page I created for this post based on a concept called City Hiking. I built the splash page to show how Merrell could create a subsite for this category. I browsed their regular site (https://www.merrell.com/) and found 5 styles that could crossover into the utilitarian fashion scene. I…
I don’t think I’m one of the rare guys that does all of the shopping in the house, but I honestly don’t know any other of my peers who spend as much time picking up kicks for their wives that aren’t sneakers. In the past I’ve written about brands attempting to crossover and capture new…
Less than a month ago our city was without water for a week due to busted pipes as temperatures hit 2 degrees. This week the temp has been averaging 69 degrees. Weeds are sprouting up; trees are being fooled into budding and my allergies are yelling WTF like Duke Deuce. Since Winter appears to be…
These are the items which currently have high demand. This suggestion is for resellers and brands and offers insight on what items you can offer if you’re capable of acquiring the SKUs at a fair price. The list is broken down with the following details: Product Name and Size Offer Winning Price – The average…
There is a consistent misunderstanding and undervaluation of the resale marketplace for sneakers. While GOAT, StockX and eBay get the most coverage as resale platforms, Amazon remains the place for resale that more accurately reflects the retail environment. I’ve always stated that there are various forms of sneaker resale. One form assists retail with removing…
The transition from work and formal wear to athleisure has introduced the rise of sneakerboots. Many aren’t done very well, but some are perfect as the weather seems to be getting more extreme and random. Blazing hot summers have contributed to droughts, and winters alternate between freezing rain knocking out power to warm Decembers. The…
Yeezy Day arrived, and you could time your day with the barrage of Twitter and social complaints about the CONFIRMED app and Yeezy Supply being botted. As sneaker culture becomes a monotonous routine of launch, complain, repeat, it’s always wise to look in the nooks and crannies to find flavors outside of the fast-food nature…
Rules for this list are obviously based on if the sneaker is black and white, but I removed the restriction of it being a court styled sneaker. Surprisingly, not many brands are bold enough to outright copy the color blocking of the Panda. That may be a matter of timing. Who knew the Panda would…
This list won’t be either/or. There will be a combination of simplicity and subtlety in some instances, and design and uniqueness to make the list. The goal is to deliver insight into work taking place alongside of more popular sneaker collabs. Overlooked means there won’t be any New Balance or Jordan Brand collabs, but this…
Father’s Day is almost a throw-in holiday. It’s as if the calendar maker was like, “Damn, we have a Mother’s Day, don’t we need something for the other parent?” Here are the gifts typically given: a day off (where you end up cooking) the tv (where you get to watch what you want, but since…
AXEL ARIGATO – Magma Sandal The fascination with Yeezy Slides has led to a resale price of over 200 dollars on what’s an under 100 priced shoe. Ye’s influence is obviously the driving force behind the chunky platform look of the slide that has replaced Nike socks and Jordan slides. While Crocs are still the…
The time it takes for me to choose a pair of sneakers every day, although I don’t work with anyone and my sneakers aren’t even seen, is ridiculous. I love my shoes. I have the benefit of having gone through my brand phases with adidas and Nike. I even have my favorite Jordans, but as…
While many of us aren’t thinking about Delta or Omicron and are venturing out into big crowds, some of us are choosing to find alternative methods of celebrating Valentine’s Day. I discovered one of the best spots in my city for a recent birthday celebration. I took the family to Folk’s Folly here in Memphis…
In this video, I discuss why sneaker media needs to be careful accepting the Point of Sales data stating that Yeezy/adidas jumped over the Jumpman, again. Remember in 2017 this was stated, but I found that the data didn’t include Nike’s Direct Sales: Why You Should Question NPD’s Data About adidas Overtaking Jordan Brand I…
