going into the archive. september 2, 2015, before StockX was even in public beta. over 11 years later, I still have a champagne cork on my desk--different bottle of champagne though.

Balvin 1’s. They match nothing, and yet I rock em with everything.
What’s your go-to sneaker when you’re in a rush or can’t decide which pair to wear? For me, it’s always an Air Jordan 1. No matter the colorway the AJ1 never fails!

nice pickup!
Shoutout to the stockX seller who accepted my $120 offer and actually honored the deal I paid $150 after fees and it was a steal been waiting on these for so long and I finally got them for a steal

Love this framing…the shot & the thinking behind it
Arrogance - Thinking that I’m better than you. Confidence - Knowing that I’m better than I was yesterday.

I can’t handle these posts. But also yes. Yes I can.
Can you stay inside your house for 7 straight days if someone paid you $700,000 ??

I won a bet for this pair. Always fun to wear. Had to share. In case you care. I didn’t start thinking this should all rhyme. But then I was like “it’ll be fine.” #kotd

awesome. pumped to see the pair in hand!
POV: You tweet about the sneakers you REALLY wanted being held hostage by UniUni (and their insufferable AI chatbot 😭) and @stockx actually sees it.💚 Huge s/o to @forthewinn & Romero for going above and BEYOND to make sure I still got a pair. We love good customer service!👏🏻

one of my favorite threads of the week; i shared this with my team yesterday so they could read the responses. sneakers are powerful. and not just like as some rubber and leather, but as a metaphor for the places we go, how we experience life, our sense of "self". they carry us.
To the people that been in sneakers for awhile I’m curious What keeps you coming back I will start off this thread. I retired from sneakers twice (long ago) The first time b/c I hav3 ever numbered Jordan the second time was because I had every shoe I ever wanted at the time (mainly SB’s) I told myself if I hung it up again I’m not coming back so this time I’m being very intentional but for me I love sneakers for the story telling. My next photos will be of @shakejmj adidas. I just love what people are able to do with something designed to be just on your feet So I ask the people, the community, the culture… what makes you care about footwear?

youtu.be/w5vE1MeMcbA?is=tGow… iconic sneaker. reminds me of our “stockx, the stock market of things” video ft wale, foamer simpson, and hasan minhaj
Black Cement 3's are great for every occasion.
