This speaks for itself.

The order of hottest to nottest in order is:
1. Carolina (fuck it)
2. Metallic Red
3. Metallic Green
4. Original - if these look like anything besides the default best shoes ever, you’ve been looking at too many shoes.
Etc, etc.

Not exactly the kind of shoes that belong on this site, since their value isn’t explicit, since they never show up. But I’d be remiss if I ignored it, to be sure.

New feature: Missed it Mondays 

What is it?

Well…This one time I was watching this funny TV show.. it was.. I can’t really remember it but it was really funny. Then I had an idea for a dream vacation. I mean I had the spread, OK. The beach, the hotel. Then I wrote all this all of this down.  Wrote it all down, really wrote it, like 5 pages. Fucking lost it. 

Here’s the first installment. Get ready to weep.

1. Un-Taiwans, almost as cool as taiwans. Not all patent, but a gradient swoosh, and white, and crispy. These shoes don’t even have a price since you never see them. People drop coin for the real thing, but these guys are sleepers. Some guy meanwhile got away with them for $70 shipped, less than the price of the pair of dunks in any heavy tax state. If these were my size, I’d be crying in my Diet Pepsi.

2. New Balance MT580s. I’m not even sure what year these are from, or what series. There are definitely more of these than there have been Governor Generals. These are definitely loud, but they also go for about $300 new, so whoever copped these - they’re real, and rare, at size 11 - made out like a thief. Good for you, heatman! 
–

3. DS Air Jordan IIIs, but from 1994. No one got a deal here; that’s not the way it works. But god damn if this isn’t a hot purchase. See that NIKE AIR on the back? Because I don’t see no damn Jumpman. If you told me in college that Jordan IIIs would be going for $400, I’d have spent my paychecks on Athletes World’s Black Cement IIIs that got returned  to Nike HQ (three pairs sold). As it stands, I don’t own any IIIs any more, and at this rate, I might not. But damn if I don’t get a law degree one day just so I can buy boxes like that whenever I want. If you have $400 to drop on sneakers, you might as well ball like a dogg. 

Look for more of these, every Monday. Get your games up til then..

Now… I don’t celebrate Christmas any more than I celebrate the CFL, but our sister site big hardcore.net is a big Xmas nut so I thought that I’d post some treats, auctions ending (gators in flavors, like) now and later that you can look at while I get some Chinese food, go see a movie alone and go to the casino (also hopefully alone). Merry bart the flexmas!!!!!!!!.

Up here is one of the better jordans to not get re-released. These are seven rings of hot fire. This particular pair is in really good condition and for the flyness of the shoe, and the condition, it is worth its price right now, although I don’t ever remember them going for 400 bucks. I don’t know if times have changed, and more people are into sneakers, inflating prices, or if a handful of fellows with great taste are bidding up this beautiful baby to rent money status. The shoe is definitely wearable - no cracking - and in showroom shape so you can do whatever you want with it, I won’t judge.

Some old deadstock Nike 1992 Air Spans just rolled up from a seller with a great name. I don’t know how I feel about 1992 era puffy white sole runners. I am sure that at this point in my life I am over the Air Max 1, but I don’t know if I have outsized hoodrack sized style to pull these things off without looking like I’m actively trying to vibe a museum. Or maybe I just dont like weird round soles unless theyre at the bottom of a 97. Regardless, this is one of the few shoes these days that is peeped by true heads… maybe Im saying something here.

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? Because if you are, might help to get some shoes and put those KAWS x VANS on ice til mid February when the snow melts and invest in some boots, or, if you’re heatunit inclined, some ACGs. While nothing will ever be as indestructible as an Air Max 95 Z, the Terra Humara, a Philly favorite, comes close. I have worn mine two straight winters and they remain in showroom condition, unlike the jewels I copped that day in 04. dave luvs kicks has a couple (Humaras) here.. makes me question whether he really does. Humaras are a tricky thing because with the wrong colorways, any ACG-fence sitting they got completely goes out the window, and youre about a foot away from coochs (new) fav shoe - and if you’re not down with that, here’s a used one from England for all you skinheads - true ACGs of strength. But this seller, who has those old girls and I believe a camo one (not in my size), has the right idea for ACG shoes. Not too much brown, not too many m and m colors either, but somewheres in the middle. And I fucks with that, and hope you will too.

Finally, check out this blackhawks shirt. They kicked our ass on Saturday but I fucks with that, I got a Mitchell and Ness fitted and a friend in Chi town. Whatever, I’m an Islanders fan, just like my grandmaany ways, merry Christmas to all my non jewish friends (aka all of you, with like two exceptions. Sorry mom) and have a happy Boxing Day to all my jewish friends.

^^might be fake. whatever ho ho grave

No big deal? Yeah you might have seen me on the streets, oh, never? Yeah hi my name’s Jeff and I’ll be doing your groceries for you and driving you to work and sitting on your lap and doing your job. After keeping me on staff for ten years you might be lucky enough to see a pair of Jordan 1 lows in white on the street. I don’t care, not even the Beastie Boys could make these shoes suck.

If I saw a pair of these on the street (say, on the US east coast) my stomach would be in my throat, and if someone reached over to me, with this box, and motioned for me to take it, my knees would buckle. And I’ve been wearing Wallies every day since July. But this is what this site is all about, reporting true motha fockin heat units. I would wear these in Ed Koch’s NY and fully expect my throat to be slit - EAR TO EAR - and on the table, I’d lay facing my inevitable and all too sullied eternal slumber, I would grin, looking down at my feet in white Jordans and black socks, dark purple blood on my shoes and a bunch of teeth on the ground, but both of them on, I can’t see my toes or feel my face. You could have corkscrew curls and look cool in these. Jordan 1s look cooler on your feet than ANY other shoe, rare or otherwise.

Honestly man.. I don’t know what I can say about this shoe besides:

1. Good luck finding it on this continent.
2. Good luck finding it not shelled by zhieep, total POS ruining jay bil’s good time. wah jaybil.
3. Good luck finding it period.
4. I don’t even understand. Take a look at the scheller’s (hi sheller) other stuff. Hi, i’m a bernie kosar shirt, you might remember me from your UPS’ guy’s college dorm (starting bid $20). Oh dont mind me, just an all over print wolverines shirt with a wolverine on it. No big deal. (Not to mention the other stuff he has, lightning jersey, stussy rasta letterman jacket - xxl, some old ass champion tees… I love America)

These days everyone’s a sneakerhead but the oldest heat you see is from March. Oh wow, this year’s Jordan Vs? So you’re telling me you have $120? Cool. Sweet. Rare airs, where you been? Everytime you think the last deadstock (this isn’t ds, but its close) pairs only belong to Marc Jacobs’ life coach and 3 dudes in Japan, you see a pair up on ebay, just hanging out waiting to be plucked in the American heartland. It’s already been a great week for
vintage jordan ones, not the least of which i will be buried in. Like, damn. And whether your budget can cop any of these, it’s nice to (hopefully) know that these are going to real people somewhere (although I’ve been convinced that half of ebay are celebrity buyers for like, Stephen Dorff).

Wear in good health, always:

What a pair of shoes these are. This pair of sneakers, dare I say it, is like the first era of Weezer, or Can, or something like that. It has absolutely no contemporaries. There are no shoes from that era that can even roll with this old boy. Look at this thing. It doesn’t make sense! If Nike decided to make a 5 point plan around the Jordan II, like they did for the 90, they could get so much mileage out of it. Patent Jordan IIs you could legitimately wear to your wedding. All black Jordan IIs, with these lines? Drawn simply? Forget about it. Every waiter in New York City would have a pair. Monochrome Jordan IIs would look like Flashdance meets Stanley Kubrick. You get a pair of these and you’re a charter member of the moon patrol. I take offense to the expensive shipping option. still a good deal though, for this condition.
