    How do you all clean your sneakers? I have tons of leathercare products and experience, but I have mostly synthetic athletic shoes that could use some cleaning.

    Hoka Code Trail GTX
    IMG_0735.jpg

    I wish they had shoes like a few years ago when I was an avid hiker. My old "lightweight" hiking shoes were these Solomons, and they were anywhere near as comfortable as these. There were the Adidas Terrex back then, but they didn't fit me well and offered poor support. I was going to get the Hoka Anacapa, but saw these in the store. The Code Trail is a new model, sort of an update to the Anacapa with some tweaks.

    I got them for UK walking, basically 20k steps a day. The mid height and GTX is for the rain. This would be either on the streets of London or on the muddy fields and trails in the countryside. They definitely passed the test. Super comfortable, plush feel only second to the Balenciagas, but without their weight and bulkiness (let's get real, the Balenciagas are better for standing showing off dadcore inspired fashion rather than than for walking around for miles).

    Any winners on the big bubbles? I might have to ask a favor for anyone not interested in basketball shoes - the PE Foamposite One would be awesome to have help with. The OG blue is still my fav.

    Went to Harujuku during my recent Japan trip and fell in love with these at Onitsuka Tiger. Ended up copping these wonderful Mexico 66 Deluxe.

    Probably the best that I took the L on the Anfernee's - I'd like to get the Janoski coming soon. Wearing my floral cammo's now.

    Any good pickups this week?

    Great sneakers. I’ve had 3 pairs over the years. Do yourself a favor, though, and get some nice squishy insoles for them. I got plantar fasciitis from walking around in mine too much (and from getting middle aged).

    I was looking for Adidas Hoops 3.0 or something similar. I love the old-school basketball shoes with the ankle-guards/protection (mids/highs they are sometimes called). For some reason almost every basketball shoe in that configuration and/or style is a Jordan or Air Force One. It is awful. I used to have the Nike Borough Fall/Winter shoes from 2019 with the ankle-guards/protection and they were very tough.

    Well the store (JD) had one last pair of Nike LF1 Duckboots on sale. Nike needs to make more shoes like those. Those things are great outdoor shoes for running, basketball and just being outside in the dirt.

    Well - two things happened. First - I finally got what I consider a 'win', but in all reality - not very tough to score. Second - first AIir Jordan 1 High OG. I think I posted my pair of SE's that I don't consider a true Jordan due to him not actually wearing them or an actual game worn color. I don't think the AJ1 I picked up is either of those, but there is a story to them.

    They are the 'Lucky' AJ1 - representing his 63 point performance against the Boston Celtics.
    Should be arriving today - kinda got that youthful excitement about them. Photos maybe later.
