Stadium GoodsIs Plugging On The Pure Money IV’s

We’re hyped on the Pure Money IV’s. We think that they’re a great sneaker, and will be killer this summer. Even though the hype for Jordans isn’t what it once was, we still think that these will be a banger, and we were so gassed when we first heard the news that we even wrote an article about them. They drop next week, and we’re still hyped.

However, you might not want to wait for the drop. That’s understandable. When you’re looking for a fire pair, sometimes playing the waiting game isn’t something that you’re interested in doing. But paying extra for an early pair isn’t going to be something you want to do either (unless you’ve got money to blow like that). Thankfully, Stadium Goods has got you covered. read more

The Pure Money IV Could Be The Shoe Of The Summer

When summer comes around, it’s extremely important that your sneaker game is right. Transitioning from fits you’d wear in the colder months with more layers and darker colors to simpler summer fits with lighter colors and less layers can prove challenging. You’ve got less to wear, so you need to make it count.

Thankfully, it looks like Jordan Brand will have you covered all this summer, as they’re re-releasing one of the best Jordan IV’s of all time, the “Pure Money”. We haven’t seen them since 2010 … and we’ve got to say: we’re extremely excited to see them again, as they’re returning at the perfect time. read more

Heat Alert: The adidas Y-3 “Triple White” Pure Boost Is Flames

You may have seen that there’s supposed to be a heat wave in Minnesota this next week (no, this is not a joke). Temperatures are supposed to reach into the low 60’s. That’s unheard of for February. It’s crazy. It’s getting hot out here … so throw on all your jawns.

Sorry, we got a little bit carried away there. Our apologies. We think we just might know the cause of this crazy heat wave though: the adidas Y-3 “Triple White” Pure Boosts that dropped recently. read more

Spending Money On Clothes Takes No Skill

701976-316181

We all love expensive gear. Be it a high end-designer brand like Gucci or LV, expensive streetwear like Bape or Cav Empt, or a fusion of everything like Fear Of God or Off-White, expensive jawnz seem to make the world go round.

But what if I told you that you aren’t automatically going to be fresh just because you spend a lot of money on your clothes? What if I told you there was more to dressing than that? What if I told you than spending money on clothes takes no skill? Well that’s exactly what I’m telling you, so pull up a chair and listen. read more

It’s been a while. Since September, to be exact. Welcome back to Sunday Sneaker Ramblings, where we briefly share our thoughts on everything that went on in our culture this past week, from rumors to releases to drama and more. Let’s get right to it.

First off: Pure Money is back. It was announced on Friday that the Pure Money IV’s would be re-releasing in May, just in time for the summer months. These are one of the cleanest Jordan IV’s ever … and are absolutely perfect for warm weather, so you already know we’re excited. read more

When Is The Cost Of Shipping Too Damn High?

img_9303_2048x2048

Any connoisseur of sneakers and streetcar knows that shipping can get expensive quick. Most of what they cop is online, so a shipping fee is just part of the deal. Yeah, it sucks … but there’s not really much you can do about it. You want to get your jawns right? If you do, then you’ve gotta pay that shipping cost. There’s really no way around it.

But when does a shipping charge get too high? When does it go from a pure inconvenience to something more? That depends.

A typical shipping charge is a flat $10, no matter what’s being shipped or how much it weighs. This is a little steep, but it’s an industry standard, practiced by Supreme and Kith among others, so it’s not the worst thing in the world. Other companies will offer flat rate shipping for $6.99, and some companies are even willing to toss you free shipping on certain items. All these options range from reasonable to good. read more

Thoughts On Random Restocks

We all know the feeling: You see that tweet informing you there’s a restock over on NDC. Maybe you hurry over there and grab a pair that you’ve been wanting since you missed out on the original drop. Maybe you run over there, and there’s nothing left that you wanted. Maybe you don’t have any spare cash and you just have to let it pass by. And maybe, god forbid, you don’t see anything until it’s too late and you miss out on everything completely.

I’ve heard a lot of different opinions on surprise restocks. Some people love them. Some people find them annoying. Some people don’t care one way or another because they don’t have the time to stay up to date. I personally think random restocks are great and here’s why: read more
