In a year where almost nothing felt familiar, the sneakers we loved provided some sort of stability. They were disrupted at times, sure, with release dates and the channels they released through shuffled around, but there was something comfortably predictable about the shoes that defined 2020. There was the renewal of Virgil Abloh’s design strategy, […]
If a sneaker doesn’t resell for more than its original retail price, does it even matter? Don’t answer that question. Of course that’s not the sole way to judge a piece of footwear these days, but it often feels like it. The resale market is a multi-billion-dollar industry and sneakers are often available on the […]

The government organization reports today that officers stationed […]

Drops kick off on Wednesday with the “Purple Grape” Air Jordan V. That retro is followed up by the Nike ISPA Overreact Flyknit, Nike ACG Air Zoom […]
Michael Jordan the man was a distant idea for much of the past decade. For a good chunk of that time he was a meme, a crying head jpeg to be spliced into an infinite number of appropriate situations. People who remember watching him actually play basketball lamented in the same span that, to kids […]
Rappers are the new athletes in the sneaker world when it comes to moving product. Names like LeBron James and Zion Williamson can still turn heads, but the paradigm has clearly shifted in the marketplace. Success from names like Kanye West and Pharrell are obvious examples, but there arguably isn’t a bigger draw in sneakers […]
