Basically moving further in my career would require me to live a lifestyle I dont really want.

So sneakers where very trendy the last 4 years but theyve been winding down and are kinda back to a niche thing. I still enjoy them and Im looking for some part time in the industry still to just be involved

so three answers to this

my best friend in college had back to the future air mags and they where in my Possession while he was living across the country for a career opportunity those are like 8 bands at the time and like 20 today
So Ive bought my ex 1500 dollars shoes
The most Ive spent on myself is like a thousand

Closer to designing than reselling

I dont get the hate for them. Honestly, its a staple shoe that got ran into the ground. Its not an amazing pair of shoe thats gonna turn necks buts its a good introduction to sneakers.

Instagram has made it so everyone wants the same kinds collection instead of buying what they want.

This feels racist, or at least stereotypical.

but no.

I was apart of multiple multi million dollar events for a big 4 sneaker brand.

I feel like a lot of the hate for the pandunks is from the reseller sneaker head community. It is quite a common item and has little to no resell value so they trash it for whatever reason lol. It's a nice simple silhouette for a shoe that can match with a buncha stuff tbh

My favorite shoe of all time is Jordan 4, and Im a nike guy myself personally.

personally I think this is the first year adidas has put out more interesting stuff then nike has since like 2015ish, pre vapormax.

Ant Mans are crazy.

and some of the samba collabs have been great.

while most of Nikes stuff has just been staple and classics and not alot pushing the envelope.

dependign on the shoe anywhere between a 10 12

in most shoes I am an 10.5 to an 11.

my foot length is pretty normally, and while my foot is what you would call wide, it is on the wider side so narrower toe boxes really tend to hurt.

I have an idea that I think you should try before you leave the industry. Allow me to make my pitch.

For too long our feet have been the only only appendages that we dress up for protection and fashion. What if I told you, that could change? What if there was another way?

Well, there could be and it's exactly what we're all thinking but never had the courage to implement. That's right, allow me to introduce you to the first sneakers for your hands. It's what I call "creepers".

Imagine a line of functional and fashionable clothing for your hands. You can be as cool as your favorite athletes and actors. Wouldn't you love to own a pair of creepers endorsed by athlete of the century's estate, OJ Simpson? Slip in to a pair of the all new Juicy creepers. How about renowned actor Kevin Spacey? Try on the Billionaire Boys club exclusive creepers coming out next week.

It doesn't end there, coming out this summer creepers are taking the comedy world by storm too. Put your self inside of the "Would you mind if I I take of something while we talk" endorsed by Louis CK. But wait, coming this election season are the Trumps. A pair of creepers made entirely of repurposed human waste. They'll be a hit with the kids.

You should definitely pitch this $100 idea to your bosses before you leave the industry. You can change the world. Or you could just continue to be a coward and not pitch it. I think you're better than that though. I know you'll do the right thing.

I had a corporate, computer-toucher job in footwear for 3 years. They used the fact that it's a "cool" industry to overwork and underpay most of the workforce. And then we move on and are much happier.

actually dont really like them much.

I dont hate them, I really miss the netting on jordan 4s

the wings on it are hardly noticeable but that might be just the color.

Ima get a pair anyway because its the closest to the undefeated 4s Ive seen in awhile but still
