It's crazy to look back to the first Jim Jones ep of FSR. 4+ yrs ago. Many consider it the zenith of the show. At that point, I was at the lowest i'd ever been personally. You don't want to know how much i drank back then or how i viewed myself. Crazy the path that God had in

Hot take: whenever i see madness around a release in NYC, it doesn't tell much about the sneaker, other than resellers are really going crazy for the shoe.

now this was a conversation. Please check out our latest podcast with Rich Paul. Watching it back, it was crazy the stories that he told. Delivering Watch the Throne LeBrons to Jay and Ye. Turning down a $15M deal with New Balance.

Shoutout Rich Paul

that is not my take at all. It's just an explanation of the ecosystem that was created by brands chasing profit and forcing stores to take on more product than feasible to sell.

I know everyone is saying it's a better time for consumers because resellers don't buy as many sneakers. Which is totally true. But I don't think many ppl realize how much retailers relied on resellers to help them sell at the shoes brands made them buy to stay afloat.

behind the scenes audio of a sneaker unboxing lol

it's crazy how some sneakers can be worth $500-$1,000 and then one day they're really worth nothing at all.

Up There is the best sneaker collaborator that doesn't get credit for being "the best sneaker collaborators." I'll die on that hill.

really feel like ive cracked a code lately

nah this is crazy lol

if these DIDNT have the Uptempo Air print on the side, i'd really really want a pair.

can't take all these sneakers with you. better off giving them away before they're old and crumble.

had Joe on the podcast this week. Of course it was for the release of the 2010. But also just so he could come thru and "talk his shit." And he did.

this is my type of sneaker content right here

now that's a hat

One and only Joe Freshgoods on the pod tomorrow. Before the shoot he said to me, "you better press me on the pod, cause i'm gonna talk my shit." And he did.
