What is it these days that people are so obsessed with stating they are the first to do something?
Hey @stockx, you lost my $450 Supreme North Face jacket. After a month of delays and me providing proof of purchase directly from Supreme, your “resolution” was to pay me $42. I’ve had 15+ successful sales with you before. Sellers deserve better.
If I NEVER saw a custom sneaker concept rendering in my feeds again I'd die a happy person no matter what else happens in my life.
Don't delete old content from your social accounts. Everything you've ever posted before tells the story of how you got to where you currently are.
While you cannot sum up a person’s existence through sneakers, you can try your hardest to create a way to walk with them for just alittle longer. 🤍 For Tyler.
May the 4th. I feel like we've seen it all when it comes to Star Wars custom sneakers. Painted Characters ✅ Painted to look like the characters outfit ✅ Recon-to look like the characters outfit✅ Hoping to be surprised as I scroll the IG feed later today.
I have about 236 AF1 ideas just sitting unused. All better than this.

It's 2025 and people still showing off their gift or purchase from an artist and not a single tag or mention of who made the art or unique product.
As a delivery person, I’m going to go out of my way to protect your sneakers from porch pirates, we know when it’s shoes in the box. It helps to have a plant or some other object on your porch for hide the package behind.
Brands, especially Nike lately, slapping their "cushioning" tech name on the side of the shoe is overdoing it. Put it on the bottom and be done. On the upper is intrusive to the design.
People consider average media coverage these days as "going viral".
See what went into making @_4Dak's “See The Unseen” cleats we did this year along side @bawhealth as a way to shed a light on the power of early cancer detection. #FindItFightIt #MyCauseMyCleats 🎥 @PKZuniga

Imagine complaining for attention but the only marketing you probably do is posting on social media.
A collab between two niggas who got in trouble for wild boy shit saying something won't fail because of them is crazy.

I love sneakers as much as anyone. But how serious some people take talking about a corporate, mass produced product is really weird.
Was there history of Lebron liking Monopoly I missed out? A bunch of Monopoly themed kicks seems out of nowhere.
Posting any sneakers customized with imagery you do not own may soon just be a waste of time. :(
