Aye man… my sister use to be a drug addict… turned her life around and become a drug counselor. Now every other time I turn around, she’s about to get another degree… girl got more degrees than a thermometer.
God said he’d take the foolish things to confound the wise!
To be honest, if this happens and Vanessa/Kobe Estate doesn’t reach nor renews a deal, I’m fine with it. Nike ruined the line and made it extremely hard to purchase. Real Kobe fans struggled to get releases.
Looks like I have officially outgrown this room… I can barely move around in here without almost knocking over a pile of sneakers.
Throw the whole house away…
First Footaction, now Eastbay… nostalgia at its finest.
Who remembers the cheat code for Eastbay? When you could call at 11:50-11:58pm on the night before a release and talk to a customer service rep and once it hit midnight, you ask for the shoe and you could order!
Here is a Nike ID Kobe 5 that I did to celebrate the Redeem Team on winning the gold medal. I used Team USA colors (Red, White, and Blue) and Gold for obviously the Gold Medal. I even put “Redeem” in the inside, behind the tongue.

Just fix the shooting and stop being lazy! Even if recording, editing, and posting this record, you could’ve patched and fixed the shooting. Cater to the millions of normal working class fans instead of you YouTuber and Pro player fan base. It’s not that hard!
Late Post for 2/3/23 day.
Shoe you don’t see at all:
Air Jordan 23 “Finale”
Was said to be the last Air Jordan to release, the Air Jordan 23 Finale released to 23 top Jordan Brand accounts, each store only received 23 pairs and released on 12/23/08. Only 529 pairs released.
New pick up: Huarache 2K5 “ASG”
Finding 20 year old shoes are hard, finding brand new..completely DS 20 year old pair of sneakers is harder.. finding Kobe shoes under retail is impossible.. finding a brand new, completely DS pair of Kobe sneakers under retail in 2023 is _______
HOW DO YOU NOT RELEASE A SHOE OF THE ALL TIME LEADING SCORER- THE TOP SIGNATURE ATHLETE OF YOUR BRAND- THAT HAS BEEN SIGNED TO YOUR BRAND FOR 20 YEARS?!
Won these for free! How crazy is that?! What a major blessing! My 2023 is starting off to a great start!
Shout out to
@ebaysneakers
for the contest and selecting me as a winner! What a W! Really wanted this shoe, to win these for free is INSANE! EXTREMELY GRATEFUL & THANKFUL!

Year 36.
This year sucked… I lost everything and watched all the progress I’ve made go down the drain. So disappointed.
But God is going to bless me exceedingly, abundantly, and above all I can think or imagine. Praying this year is the best yet.
Happy Birthday to me.
Dear Kobe...
I’ve been trying to find the words to say to even attempt to come close to showing and explaining what you’ve done for me and what you’ve meant to me. My entire life, my entire being, every part of me is in shambles behind this.. what am I suppose to do without you?
Nike Air Max2 CB ‘94
Such a dope model.Probably my favorite Barkleys and my 2nd favorite colorway in this model.The all black/blue/and white is my all time favorite, I wore them to the ground in high school, if anyone has a pair in a size 13 and wants to part ways 😰 let me know
@JJMaples55_MST
Man, if Haslem has a job in 2023, Thanasis absolutely can too, Haslem isn’t even getting in games.
If I owned a team, I would put the whole Antetokounmpo family on payroll if that’s what it took to keep Giannis in my organization.
Happy Birthday to the GOAT!
MJ’s 60th Birthday is today! I know it’ll be some great content from collectors today, so I’m looking forward to that.
MJ’s bday is usually on or around NBA All Star Weekend, so I decided to pull out the Air Jordan III (3) “Free Throw Line”
I know a lot of people credit the LeBron 8 as the first shoe to have 3 versions of a signature shoe model…
In actuality, the Kobe 2 did it before.
Kobe 2 Strength - Two Straps
Kobe 2 Sheath- Ankle Strap only
Kobe 2 Lite - No Straps

Today I am sharing my new-ish feature in the latest and greatest
@sneakerfreakermag
volume of The World’s Greatest Sneaker Collectors.
I am humbled and honored to be apart of history and this great moment for the company and magazine.
Nike releases a “be better” Kobe campaign but yet decided not to “BE BETTER” and release enough shoes for people who wanted to celebrate the man who they cheered for and loved. Nike really dropped the ball on this release and we can probably expect the same throughout the week.
I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who liked and commented, and shared my trick shot entry for
@TBGeneration
contest!
I appreciate you all!
And thank you to the people at
@TBGeneration
! A nice, fun, and fair way to win Kobes! I love it! Every store should do this! 🔥🙌🏽
When you own over 850 pairs of sneakers, go to get a fit off and find out you don’t have a particular shade of blue… and now you have to buy another pair of sneakers.
Y’all have a good day tho
Finished Unlimited…
Everyone asks me for tips, honestly just play. I use to avoid online play due to nervousness, worried about my record, playing people who curse/trash talk, etc… but I just decided to play and I did very well this year.

Air Jordan 17
My best friend’s older brother sold them to me after damaging them slightly for $25, I couldn’t afford the retail price!
These are super special to me because they mark the beginning of me being super independent and living on my own at age 17!
Size 13 please 🙏🏾
I remember when folks said I’d never make it anywhere when it came to anything involving sneakers… that it was a waste of time and money.
I’m boarding a plane headed to Amsterdam, Netherlands on a work trip because… SNEAKERS.
GOD FAVORS ME!
Everyone thinks/thought that Retro Jordans kept stores afloat in the late 00’s - early 20110s.
These were the real MVPs
THESE were the money makers that sold ALL WEEK, not just Saturday:
Jordan Flight 1 Mid
Prestige 1-4
Jordan True Flight
Air Max Wright

Y’all feeling the need to pull out your Jordan 2’s to “flex” and reassure us that you own them, like them, or whatever the purpose before the off-white drop, was top tier level of corny.
You’re a multi million dollar NBA player with million dollar endorsements AND your own signature Nike Basketball shoe is releasing soon… why is your mom in Finishline arguing with anyone?
What Adidas has done with this signature athlete, this signature shoe, the marketing, the promotion, the celebrating - everything has been nothing short of perfection
Absolute Masterclass
This is what you do for your SIGNATURE athlete- push boundaries, push limits, make history
BIG & SPECIAL thanks to my
@footlocker
family (
@Losdad
) for sending the upcoming Kobe 8 “TB” Lakers colorways
These release today alongside a few other cws, make sure you don’t miss the drop!
Do you plan on copping these and adding them to your collection?

SUPER reach back pick up but I shoe I always loved and wanted. Ended up finding a great steal/price that I would’ve been foolish to say no to!

@NBA2K_MyTEAM
Y’all made this game for the 74 YouTubers and pro players that have 15+ hours a day to dedicate to this game and ignored the people who work and have regular daily responsibilities and just want to play the game and enjoy it without having to study and train shot releases.
I probably entered 25+ raffles for these Kobes and sent them to about 19 different friends and family members each
So about 475 raffle entries and probably 23 SNKRS app entries today

Regarding Lonzo Ball:
Only 3 players in NBA history that were 20 years or younger averaged at least 10 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and a steal per game.
It’s been amazing seeing brands such as
@Stussy
and
@TheSocialStatus
bring back great, classic, and legendary
@nikebasketball
silhouettes such as the Penny 1-2 and even the Air Bakin
It would be super dope to see a brand or Nike in general Retro the Huarache 2K5!

Year 34…
This past year, God told me to be a good steward…
I’m thankful, I’m happy, I’m blessed.
Happy Birthday to me… here’s to another year full of God’s blessings, God’s Grace, God’s favor, God’s mercy, and God shining his light on me.
