I picked up a few items on my trip and I unboxed my Karhu Trampas got to 4:58…
The Air Max Genome hearkens back to the 2000s and if you know your sneakers, you can immediately see the tie in to the 2009 Air Max. While that model used flywire and fused overlays, the Genome ups the ante with a durabuck fused upper and retains the ribbed midsole, max air cushioning set up,…
The amazing thing about researching and enjoying the work you do around sneakers is when you locate a story that has connective fibers. Yesterday I wrote about York Athletics’ under-utilization of YouTube: When Brands Underutilize Platforms, How Do You Get the Message? York Athletics In that article, I discovered Joe Buckner. I took a second…

I’ve written continuously about the evolution of StockX. In most instances, on the sneaker side of things, the collector’s market is overlooked. StockX’s IPO has…

Backed by footwear industry heavy weights, they’re blazing a new trail in the health & wellness community with their ‘Out of Step’ mindset and fighting spirit. #footwearforfighters I’ve long known about York Athletics. I don’t own a pair,…
This was going to be an authentic verification video for the “Are Yours Real” series, but I began doing the video, starting with the size tag like always, and I noticed that this wasn’t an SE version of the Mid, but the price was up another 5 dollars from 115. I looked at the GS…
Source: Reebok x Bodega Announce Newest Collaboration featuring a Club C Legacy Refresh FDRA’s Andy Polk hit me with an incredible article on Reebok’s history and the impending sale of the brand by adidas. The read was long, but it’s critical in understanding, from a professional position, what happened to Reebok throughout the years. While…

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…

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…
