Funny seeing Spoo's post.

Ive been reading through this thread from the start, and the previous thrifting thread.

Some post on here got me to watching a few sneaker head youtube channels.
The whole culture changed A LOT since I last paid attention (last sneakers I bought were SB De La Soul and Hawaii).

What are the go to sites to read about what these kids are up to?

try www.hypebeast.com

Sorry, I had to take my kid to a breakfast with Santa that turned into afternoon cocktails with spoo.

But long story short, a drug dealers storage locker went into lapse and went up for auction. I got linked up with the guy who bought the locker through a friend I met at the thrifts. I bought a bunch of stuff from him in the first half of the sale as posted, the Supreme glasses and Eye Trunk which were a no brainer 2K profit. But then my guy connected me to the source and I met up with him at the storage locker last night. I bought the rest of the unit which was about 7 pairs of NIB Yeezys, 10 NIB Jordans of various vintages, 5 Off White Nikes including the Jordan 1s, Air Max 90s, Air Max 97s. 6 more pairs of deadstock Supreme x Louis Vuitton Mask sunglasses. Few other things. I sold the 7 Yeezys in about 20 minutes for more than I paid for the entire unit last night and still have the rest to go.

But the best part? The guy not only bought hype, he bought rare. Pictured below are 3 pairs of some of the rarest and most coveted ***** out right now, Tom Sachs Mars Yard 2.0, Louis Vuitton x Kanye West Don, and the Air Yeezy NRG 2. And some screenshots of the last sales on them for anyone who doesn't know about them.

PPU $125

and the owner probably didn't miss them at all, he was probably happy to lose the burden of taking care of so much valuable sneakers. what was the point of people spending so much money to collect useless material things? american society focuses too much on materialism.

Love him or hate him Kane is a marketing fuckin genius and his ability to create hype around subpar and often times hideous **** is unmatched

Walked into the crossroads trading on Melrose and found this on the women’s new arrival rack. When I went to pay the cashier goes, “I love this jacket! Imagine how much it would be if it was a name brand.” Hahahaha


Fairly certain it’s horsehide, custom order with studs and wool blend liner. NWT. Thank you to whoever took $15 for this at Crossroads.

I wish I was more comfortable knowing anything about kicks. I'll end up buying a bunch of fake crap though. I just know it.
