The same maximum effort into planning a date or day together the same way I do. Like a date/day that includes reservations and/or tickets to something that I’m really into where I can sit back and enjoy the ride and be super thankful the entire time.
Nearly 2yrs ago I was fired from my last healthcare job. I was WFH and my drinking had gotten out of control.
So I quit.
After also asking for help and working on my MH I took the leap and started an entry level job in an industry I believed in. After grinding for over a year

And since AJ1s are ☠️ I'll keep wearing my out of style 'skinny' jeans too. 😉
Seeing all the TS's, and CPFM's, on the TL today got me thinking about all the snkrs the"grew" on people.
I'm definitely guilty of hating on a shoe when I 1st see pics.
Do you have a pair that you said was 🗑️ but ended up calling them 🔥 in hand?

When these came out I couldn't care less. I didn't care for the color and the online sentiment was negative.
Last night my GF gifted them for our 1yr anniversary. She noticed I didn't have them and thought the color would look great on me. 🥹
I love them.

I've been invited to my 1st sneaker wedding. 💒
Dress code is all black suit/shirt/tie and any kind of snkrs you want.
Went and got a new tailored suit so seemed like a perfect time to unDS something too.
There was no doubt that it would be an AJ1 high but I

I'll take a pair for outlet price and clean the ish out if it and no one would know the difference when it's on foot. But you know those will be going home with employees for free and then end up on StockX like nothing happened.
I’ve seen the horrors of war and the atrocities of a L2 trauma center that will live in my nightmares forever.
And so I drank. A lot.

Finally caught my white rabbit!
Been chasing these since they released last year and I've taken so many L's since that I lost count.
There's also only 1 skate shop in town, which has a strong community following, and if they get an SB release it's usually only 1 FSR and so
1st I would like to thank
@EQLofficial
for keeping my L streak alive today. 🥳
2nd thanks to all the retailers and SB shops for the countless raffles I entered for no reason and thanks SNKRS for my usual Ls too.
Lastly thanks

Btw SNKRS and my MH go together. The positive peeps and fun pics drew me in. I even manned up and called the VA to have my 1st PTSD eval soon. Seen too much💀that I can’t drink away anymore. 🫠
#kotd
I'm the 1st to admit that I hate how impossible it feels to catch a W on anything with a hint of hype.
But after putting a few miles on these at my local River Fest today, it hit me just how lucky we're to be able to cop for retail what was once untouchable.
Grateful.

I work at GigaNevada. They’re actively doing site prep and ground clearing/grading for a new site just inside the main security gate. Looks large enough to house the semi or the 4680 production lines. Now that they’ve have cut the excess fat they’re starting to ramp imho.

Had to go to the mall for work shoes. Perfect time to put some real steps in these. Comfy AF and pinky toe killers no more. 🙌
I also checked to see what's sitting and it was weird to see. 👟 feels so stagnate right now. Except for most OGs, very little gets me hyped anymore.
So my 2nd pair of Dunk Low By You's were made with a satin swoosh and back tab instead of leather. Again. 🫠
I thought I messed up the 1st time so I made sure not to do it again. Satin wasn't even an option right?! Anyone else have build issues too?

I've never really liked AF1s. While I respect it's history and impact, they've never really been for me.

Do you put a little piece of cellophane under the tape so that when you remove it it doesn’t pull off the Nike Air? And I also remove the size sticker and put them on the underside of the box lid. Because I’m weird like that too. 😆

If I had a private conversation where I offered a F&F to someone who backdoored my shoes, and is profiting off of and taking advantage of fans of my brand, and then they bragged about in on Twitter I would rescind my offer so quick.
Not a good look for Mr. Chen imo.
