Thoughts on the Supreme x Jordan x Nike SB Collaboration

Earlier this week, hypebeasts all over the world rapidly developed uncontrollable erections with the announcement of what could safely be called a holy trinity collaboration: Jordan, Nike SB, and Supreme were rumored to be working on a sneaker.

Rumors and speculation are now swirling around the sneaker world as to what might be going on. Will it be a Jordan 1 SB, similar to a Lance Mountain? Will it be something off the wall? All hypebeastry aside, will it even be cool?

As someone who’s been collecting Supreme for a few years now (I’d like to think I know a little bit about the other brands too…Jordan more so than Nike SB), I have a few guesses as to what may be going on. read more

Hey Twin Cities: Why No Love For Adidas?

I’ve seen a lot of things and met a lot of people, both cool and not so cool around the Minnesota sneaker community.

A Thought On Supreme

As I was shifting through the Supreme webstore trying to find my three favorite sale pieces for yesterday’s article, I was thinking about what Supreme as a brand has accomplished during their time in business, and how their reach has become so powerful that everyone from musicians to artists to sneaker collectors to rich high school kids fiend for their newest drops.

Chaos has ensued for several of their drops this year (as it does every year) , from the Le Bain hoodie to the Foamposites. However, with all their hyped pieces, a lot of really good stuff seems to get somewhat swept under the rug. read more
