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…

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…

The Reebok Kamikaze 2 is a shoe that immediately feels like the 90s. The crazy thing about the retro model from the Vector, is that the price is still the same as it was in the 90s. The Kamikaze 2 rings up at 80.00 dollars and because it wasn’t hyped or shared constantly on sneaker…

If you remember my custom made shoe from COMUNITYmade, you recall that I designed those kicks with hemp and suede. The material is surprisingly both cool and warm. While it looks a design best suited for the fall and winter, with its Vibram outsole, I do get to wear it in spring and summer on…

The latest update to the Vapormax sees a decrease in price from 220 to 200. It’s still a steep price for what is basically a glorified lifestyle sneaker, but that’s back to where a lot of fans will be willing to give the latest version a shot. To be honest there isn’t a lot of…
I was browsing using the Firestick a few nights ago and an ad showed up in the app for adidas Summer Running. I clicked through and there was a previous Live Stream associated with the product. In the app, Reebok and New Balance were highlighted as well. The same woman was used in the presentation…
