POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

For me, collecting sneakers is about more than the colorway, the condition or the resale value. It is about preserving the stories behind the designs, the designers and the moments that shaped sneaker culture.

The Nike Air Flight Turbulence represents a chapter of basketball history that deserves a closer look. It connects the creative work of Aaron Cooper, Nike’s ambitious basketball design culture and the extraordinary story of Allen Iverson’s decision to join Reebok.

Sometimes, the most important sneakers aren’t just the ones that became famous.

Sometimes, they are the ones that remind us how differently history could have unfolded. @aaron.ac.cooper @itsthestoriesthatmatter #NikeAirFlightTurbulence #AaronCooper #AllenIverson #BubbaChuck #NikeBasketball NikeHistory SneakerHistory SneakerCulture 90sBasketball SneakerCollectors ReebokQuestion SneakerHunter

The Indiana Pair, the Rookie of the Year, & the signature sneaker.

Sure, Caitlin Clark is a superstar and it’s awesome to see her success, but what makes me really happy about all of this, is that it makes me feel, or reminds me rather, that all of this sneaker stuff started with basketball.

At one point or another, most of us who at our age enjoy sneakers, more likely than not - started out with an affinity for rhe NBA. Some of my earliest sports memories were cheering for the Lakers & having dreams as a fat, short, Mexican kid, going to the NBA.

Sure I gradually moved on to falling in love with what the players had on their feet, but it all started out with a love of the game. There was the dream, the countless hours on the blacktop, watching highlights and NBA games, rooting for Shaq & Kobe, and then came the sneakers.

I’m extremely thankful that my parents - who were not huge NBA fans- would read the newspaper before I woke up to see how the lakers did the night before, just to be able to talk with me about them, so we could share something together.

The point of it is that we all started somewhere on this journey of collecting, enjoying, discussing and being enthusiastic about sneakers. I would be willing to wager that a great deal of us started with a love for Basketball; and going forward, I think Caitlin Clark is one of many in this next generation of stars that with her play and with her sneakers, will continue to push that conversation and that enthusiasm forward as well.

🏈🔥 Same legend. Same shoe. Different color.

🎃💀 BOKTOBER keeps rolling…

Yesterday we brought the black/royal/white 1997 Reebok Rush II. Today we’re switching the colorway with the absolutely BEAUTIFUL white/black/royal version! 🤍🖤💙

Designed by @designer_esm for NFL legend @emmittsmith22, the Rush II is another reminder of just how incredible 90s sneaker design really was.

Bold lines, unmistakable style, and a signature shoe worthy of one of the greatest running backs to ever touch a football. 🏈🐐

Two days. Two colorways. One underrated 90s masterpiece.

👇 NOW THE REAL QUESTION: Which pair wins?

⚫️ Yesterday’s BLACK/ROYAL or ⚪️ today’s WHITE/ROYAL?

Drop your pick below! 👀🔥

Help me pick! 👟🎨

Full disclosure, I’m not a customizer, so I’m going to do my best with this project! 😂

As you all know, we found these Nike Hyperdunks at the thrift, and I asked you all what we should do with them. The decision was to dye and paint them, and you helped choose the dye color. Now it’s time to figure out what colors to paint them!

Since you’ve all been involved from the beginning, I want to keep doing this with the community. 🙌🏽 I asked AI to help me put together a few mockups so we could get an idea of what they might look like.

I already know which one I’m leaning toward, but I want to hear from you! Which look do you prefer?

We’ll go with whatever color you guys choose! Drop your pick in the comments, and we’ll see what you choose by Wednesday. The plan is to bring these to life next week. 🎨🔥

Let’s see what we can do with a thrift find and a little help from the community!

🏈🔥 One of the greatest running backs ever had sneakers this good?!

BOKTOBER continues with another absolute banger! 💀🎃

The 1997 Reebok Rush II, created for NFL legend @emmittsmith22, is a perfect example of why 90s sneaker design was on another level.

That black/royal/white colorway is incredible. 🔥💙⚫️

Designed to perfection by @designer_esm, these are a reminder of an era when signature sneakers had personality, innovation, and style.

Emmitt Smith was legendary on the field, but how many of you remember his Reebok signature line? 👀

👇 Would you buy these today, or are they strictly for the vintage collectors?

When people ask me what some of my favorite basketball shoes of all time are, I have to take a minute to think. There are so many great ones, especially when it comes to overall performance.

But one that will always stand out? The Nike Zoom Huarache 2K4. 🔥

If you hooped in 2004, you already know. And for some, it’s still that shoe.

What surprises me is walking into a mall today and seeing some of these just sitting on shelves. Meanwhile, I have an OG 2004 pair on my shelf at home that’s ready to come apart and crumble, but still looks so good. 😂

We’re also getting some incredible player exclusive colorways we never got before, like Sue Bird and Penny Hardaway, along with one of my favorite general release colorways, Kobe Bryant’s All-Star Game edition.

The 2K4 will always be one of those special ones for me. I may be in my Unc era, but I feel like this shoe deserves a little more love on the court.

What’s one basketball shoe that will always be at the top of your list?
