I’ve stopped writing a lot of Should You Buy To Flip? articles because we are in a different economy now and flipping, like the housing bubble bursting in 2008, has basically popped. Unless you’re grabbing shoes at way below retail, flipping is dead. What I’m doing now is taking a minute to visit the sneaker…
I’ve been stating that I would share more information about jobs in the sneaker industry since I created the “Sneakerhead to Boss Insider Ties: Episodes 10-19” series on YouTube.

Originally posted on Housakicks If there is one thing Nike has always excelled in, it would be innovation. The brand never stops finding ways to come up with better products for its athletes, mainly to enhance performance and comfort. And in most instances, those products make a transition from the athletes to the general public. Adidas…

Originally posted on Housakicks The subtlety with which JB and Nike have been capitalizing on their latest products is loathsome. I was appalled for the nth time when I realized how the Air Jordan 11 low Columbia went from $115 in 2001 to $175 in 2017. When you look at the shoes, there are no upgrades…

Originally posted on Housakicks This is now getting comical and ridiculous; Adidas is milking the heck out of the NMD & boost. The brand is just randomly releasing silly iterations of the NMD’s hoping to suck in a bunch of foolish dummies who will shed top dollars for them. I mean what’s the point of dropping…

Originally posted on Housakicks I have no idea why JB even bothers to bring back another irrelevant retro, the Air Jordan 15 XV Obsidian. We all know how shunned the Jordan 15 model is within the Sneaker Community. I’d rather they bring back the ginger 16, or the black and royal 18, instead of these hideous models that…

Sneaker enthusiasts will argue that 2014 was the year Ye turned adidas into a player. Runners will say the UltraBoost was the engine in adidas’ rise in popularity.
