Sneaker Info

Articles I write on the topic of sneaker history, sneaker collecting, coming up on dope sneakers for cheap, where I shop for kicks, my top kicks in various categories, etc. Kind of a catch-all for everything that isn’t a review.  These sneaker info articles delve into things like commonly asked questions, sneaker care and backstory on various pairs.

Of course, if you just want ALL the info, you could always peruse the all-encompassing list of said articles below.  As a fan of sneakers, I wish I’d have had access to different elements of collecting.  I probably could have saved myself some money and effort in the long run with a little more knowledge.  Thus, I hope these articles are helpful in your collecting journey!
