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

I know ppl act like you need to buy fakes, because the only way to be a sneakerhead is to own Travis Scott Jordans and Off-White AF1s. But you could buy these four sneakers, have a solid collection, and never need to go hunting for fakes. Just some food for thought.

Nike sponsoring the German National Team is insane. The Samba was invented so Germans could play on icy pitches. The Adilette slide was created so the German team wouldn't get foot infections in the shower. That team is the literal fabric of the brand. Sad day for the 3 Stripes.

These Adidas San Juans are easily Bad Bunny's best adidas shoe yet. They go back to the brand's city series naming convention, where they'd name shoes after cities across the globe. The blue is also one of adi's signature colors. Great effort all around.

The whole clowning Karmaloop thing is weird. Streetwear and limited-edition sneaker culture was still a niche thing in the mid to late 2000s. I know everyone likes to pretend they were on it back then, but really very few ppl were. It was our own subculture of ppl trying to build

Not gatekeeping, just educating.
