2015 was an interesting year in sneakers for me. It was a year where I bought noticeably fewer sneakers than in years past, but wrote about them more than ever before. The culture has exploded in the last few years, and 2015 was the biggest yet. From Kanye West and adidas taking over the world, …
It was supposed to be great. We were supposed to be riding hoverboards and gallivanting in our power-lacing sneakers. In reality, 2015 looked far different than it was depicted in the movies thirty years ago, which might come as a letdown to some people. And I’m going to take a contrarian viewpoint from those of …
In 2015 I decided to chill and only cop 10 sneakers, so that should make my list pretty simple, right? Nah. I didn’t get everything I wanted because we all face #sadderday no matter how good the plug is and sometimes we have not-buyer’s remorse when you think a pair might sit longer than they …

Laettner was the pretty-boy punk; Grant was the superstar; JJ was hated so deeply he is still hated like no one other …

The U.S. was tired, tired of hearing how the world had caught up. Tired of seeing replays of the 1972 Olympics and the screw job put on us. Tired of Russia running their mouths and saying they were better. There was only one thing to do: throw that “amateur” status out and bring our …
