The Twitter account just launched in February this year, and it hasn’t picked up steam, but the ladies of the league have some nice kicks. I’m not sure if this is an official account, but a few days ago I talked about how the WNBA could begin building a community to support the league….
Got an invite to cover the Media Day for the Memphis Grizzlies’ G League team the Memphis Hustle. I got a chance to rap with players about what they will be wearing during the season and what the guys were wearing for media day. It was a very informal event but a cool experience. Check…
Big shout out to Geoff Langham for inviting me out to the Grizzlies G League Memphis Hustle Media Day. It was cool to be given the same consideration as traditional local media outlets from CBS and ABC to 929ESPN at the Fed Ex Forum Practice Facility. This was my first professional media day from 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…
Organized in 1899, VF Corporation is a global leader in branded lifestyle apparel, footwear and accessories, with more than 30 brands, 64,000 associates and $12.4 billion in revenue.

Dominick Ruiz capitalizes on the sneakerheads trend, today’s baseball card market. Source: Teen finds fortune, heartbreak in sneakers We’ve all seen this story and we can’t get enough of it. I’m sharing this because it’s a sneaker site, but I feel slightly bad about sharing it because this kid is 16. Giving him this type…
Source: sneakfest Alright, people know I don’t ever like the term “sneakerhead” because it implies that what I do is easy enough for anybody to jump in as long as they love sneakers. The reality is this sneaker thing is a beast and a billion dollar industry should have a a term that represents what…
As always, my goal is to keep you informed of what’s happening with my little engine that could. I had the mold completed for my boxes and the pics came in last night. The box is made of recycled paper with a gloss black finish and the ARCH logo on the lid. While I always…
I have to eventually start planning ahead like a real shoe company. Over the past few years I never really had direction and I simply made shoes when I could. Without vision and foresight, and the belief that I can actually make ARCH into a viable entity in the shoe industry, I might as well…
If you haven’t been following the story you can check back through the blog and read the Moving from Ebay series. If you don’t feel like doing that, then here is a recap: In June, I was on my way to becoming a powerseller on Ebay. I was generating thousands a month from the sell…
July is like the longest month of the year and in Memphis, it’s the hottest. Almost every day has been 100 plus. This makes it real hard to stay motivated, but I am consistently challenging and changing the business profile as I continue to work on strategies to help other sneaker lovers out there, move…
Okay so someone asked me in person, instead of here on the site, why am I writing about my struggles. They said that most people who are in the same business hope that you struggle instead of identifying with what you are going through. No one thinks what happened to you will ever happen to…
Those of you who have been reading about my transition from Ebay to my site are aware that I just setup an Ebid store. If you haven’t here are the links to those posts about establishing an online store. I am also linking to Ebid so other sneaker lovers can check out how the bids look…
I haven’t been writing much here about moving away from Ebay lately. There are two other posts for you to read about this process. As I said before it was hard walking away from Ebay, but their lack of seller protection and the constant fees, along with the mistreatment made my decision easier. I have…
I’m still in the process of moving from Ebay and like I said in the previous article, things are slow. I haven’t generated an individual sell through the site yet. Although I had numerous pairs of Foamposite Retros in stock and I was selling them at a lower price than anyone on web or retail,…
