Flight Club will forever be the pioneer in sneaker resell. But i really feel like skate shops charging customers OVER retail for Nike SB Dunks they were buying at retail is what really conditioned sneakerheads to being OK with the though of resale.

I feel like there's a huge divide in the sneaker world between ppl who were on NikeTalk and ppl who weren't on NikeTalk. And that's why a lot of arguments about what was/wasn't cool comes up.

ISS and NikeTalk were cut of the same cloth. But were too completely different worlds. NT was wild, but a bit more reserved (you couldn't curse). But ISS was the wild west lol.

I always feel like the moment sneaker culture, as we know it these days, went pop culture mainstream turbo overdrive was when the Space Jam 11s got retroed in 2009. After that, it was off to the races.

man what a week. Podcast coming back announcement. Sat down with Nick Diamond and have a bunch of videos coming out from that. Have a full-length sit down tomorrow with Angelo on the Awake Jordan 5. Going to the Kith runway show on Sunday. Can't complain.

I sat down with Angelo Baque and talked about his upcoming Awake x Air Jordan 5. but also how he designed the Supreme x Air Jordan 5s. And made ASICS cool. And a whole lot of other stuff.

the Kith runway show tonight was unreal. Looking at this video, with Dave East, Jim Jones, Victor Cruz, Fab, Westside Gunn, and Jim Moore of GQ. And realizing i've had all them on one of my talk shows or another. Kind of surreal moment.

The Kith runway show yesterday was crazy. Here's everything that happened at the show and behind the scenes. Like, why did Nems flick me off.
