Online releases. They’re a major part of today’s sneaker game. Every shoe you want isn’t going to be available locally, so you’re forced to go to the internet (sometimes early in the morning on a weekend..which is awful) to get the shoes you want.

This means that you’ll be competing with people across the country and the world who want the same kicks that you do, so you need to be quick to get what you want. Thankfully there’s a few easy hacks I’ve learned to make this process simpler that I’d be glad to pass along to you. Here’s a few tips and tricks for getting sneakers online. read more

It’s Friday, and a weekend full of heat is almost upon us.

They’re a part of the game whether you like it or not. Some use the money they make selling hyped sneakers to enhance their own personal collection, some use it as as their full-time income, and some are just novices hoping to make a quick buck on whatever semi-rare sneaker that they just managed to get their hands on.
