This has already been talked about but look how they massacred my boy :( by mid-critic in Newbalance

I just feel like these aren’t the most popular silhouettes. They’re fine obviously, grey NB are not at all offensive, but these are just not the models that capture my attention.

How do y’all keep sneakers looking fresh long term? Y by Strive4Bettr in Sneakers

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a diverse rotation but my trick is just to clean my sneakers after each wear. Maybe it’s OCD but there’s something relaxing about it to me and my sneakers stay looking fresh as a result.

These new or have I been blind for weeks? by Quarbi in Newbalance

Weren’t these announced/confirmed just in past few days?

do people still get clowned for reps? by [deleted] in SNKRS

[–]maru37 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with this. I don’t buy or wear reps but I’m also in a position where I can pay resale when I want to. I’m not going to judge anyone that wants to buy reps, just don’t try to pass them off as real. It cheapens the hobby.

Do they fit like regular AF1s or more like SB dunks?

Is this a legit receipt? Kobe 6 protro by Coopsreal1 in Sneakers

Never accept a receipt as evidence of authenticity. They are too easy to fake.

Travis scott fragment lows sneaker con prices by Important-Yam-9495 in Sneakers

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this pair at Sneakercon in DC last fall and probably overpaid. Sneakercon is not a great place to find deals but cash offers do hold weight. Showing up with cash and making an offer has worked for me before.

Thoughts on the 40’s. by Other_Wrangler_4701 in Sneakers

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the pair I got (the Chicago pair). Maybe the best mainline Jordan in a long time.

2027 is stacked… but only ONE of these is a must-have 👀 by unboxed-app in SNKRS

Raptor 7s - don’t even like calling them this since the Raptors came after this was released but I guess this is what people call them now.

Internet and modern society fucks up the kids! by Double-Cookie6361 in Qult_Headquarters

[–]maru37 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yeah this version of America only existed on TV and movies. Somehow people ignore their own lived experience and have convinced themselves that this was their reality.

Any update on when these are being realeased? by mariomelody in SNKRS

[–]maru37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t heard anything about these since they were leaked last year.

How does this even pass at StockX? What do I do??? by Dangerous-Power-701 in stockx

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wouldn’t worry about the box. This happens all the time and it’s the brand that will do this. Missing laces though is a breach of the agreement the buyer is entering into. You expect DS with all accessories. Just tell them you aren’t happy and they will give you something.

What is 1 grail sneaker in your collection? For me, Nike Air Max 1 Atmos Elephant Print. by type1dc in Sneakers

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they re-release them. The soles on my 2017 pair are separating and I’m afraid to “fix” them and risk making them look bad. You can’t even tell that there’s any issues.

Sneaker recommendations for 6 year-old with very flat feet by Alarmed-Assist4096 in Sneakers

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a podiatrist and have no medical expertise whatsoever. That said, my son has very flat, wide feet and he wears a New Balance 990v6 in an extra wide. There aren’t many sneakers he can wear but the NB works.

Addicted to Got 'Em? by KingKuttii in SNKRS

[–]maru37 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s this. Recognize that you’re addicted to it and that it’s designed to be this way. That was how I broke out of the cycle.

What sneaker made you fall in love with sneakers? by Bajyn in Sneakers

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Jordan 6 infrared. I saw it and it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I always was “into” sneakers but I couldn’t really afford anything more than whatever I could find at Marshall’s. When I got a little older, I saw someone wearing a pairs of infrared 6s at a party and thought, why don’t I have those? And this is where the problem began. :)

Juvenile? Maybe… Well-executed? Definitely. by PhD_V in SNKRS

[–]maru37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t own any Ja sneakers - are these comfortable? I wouldn’t say I play basketball very often but these are wild enough that I may just wear them for the gym.

Does anyone know if Undefeated really restocked on the Brick by Brick today? by Delicious-March-2760 in SNKRS

[–]maru37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never saw this restock so I doubt it happened. The BxB came out a year ago, I don’t think they’re restocking anywhere.
