Making a comeback to competitive tennis after so long has definitely been easier said than done. Although I am the strongest I’ve been and have a better understanding of the game, there are things that have faded with time that I’m working to shake the rust off.

@Craignoicecube @fearofgodadidas They really are! I think if these would have been the first model, people would have viewed the partnership different and given it more of a chance
English
Broke out the @fearofgodadidas II today. Got these for a steal at $69 for the adidas website🙌🏾

@airmaxtrin @MyFirstKicksPod @ChefDoomy The way I look at it is that performance will keep the lights on and that success gives them the freedom to give us this quality and unique lifestyle models we all love.
English
@madwatcher789 @MyFirstKicksPod @ChefDoomy That's exactly what I'm saying lol. I've been buying Saucony since the Grid 9000 days.
English
Jae Tips gave Saucony a boost to their lifestyle division, it’s undeniable. But the brand didn’t hedge all bets solely on Jae Tips. At the same time, they’ve had excellent collaborations with:
- Sneaker Politics
- Footpatrol
- Minted New York
- 3Sixteen
- Bodega
- Engineered Garments
- Westside Gunn
The list goes on. I’m sure Saucony feels the loss of Jae Tips, but they are not by any means in a state of disaster. They’ve use Jae to build a foundation for excellent collaborators. Really excited to see what they have over the next few months, and can’t wait to see what Jae does with Nike.
(Plus, the Saucony GR line has been cooking!)

It's hard to think of a single collaborator whose departure could have a bigger impact on a brand than Jae Tips moving on from Saucony. Gave Saucony's lifestyle offering a huge boost in the perfect moment for mesh runners. Can Saucony sustain that cool factor without him?

@airmaxtrin @MyFirstKicksPod @ChefDoomy While Saucony will always have the performance running market, I think you are having recency bias about their lifestyle line: premier life on mars, feature living fossil, bodega sweater, food fight,avocado toast…all projects that performed very well Jae was there

@JDWhite112 @karidaniels And I’ll say that I went a bit macro with my response looking at sneaker prices as a whole being crazy high and people only wincing with certain brands/collaborators. I could have explained that better lol…hard to do with limited characters here hahahaha
English
@karidaniels @madwatcher789 I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, my involvement is 100% related to this not making sense to me when Mike said it:
“If we get mad at one we gotta be up in arms about them all….right?”

Not all price increases have to be viewed equally. Some may be more obscene than others. But it is also ok to address one change without addressing all changes at the same time, imo.

$205 for Jordan 1 Union x Fragment, $190 for Air Max 95 Neons….the list goes on. If we get mad at one we gotta be up in arms about them all….right?
English
At the end of the day all of the price increase talk is irrelevant
No matter the increase you sneaker people are paying it
Ex “they are coming for our wallets this month”
Their not they are selling goods, control yourself
Stop buying or stop crying it is really easy

Here’s a reminder to enjoy sneakers. That’s why we got into this….to have fun, not be miserable on social media. It’s ok to not like something, but stop dragging it out. Lace up your favorite pair, maybe create something awesome…but most of all,make sure to enjoy life.
English
@frontpageaaron But how much did they cost Aaron…that’s the question of the day 😂😂😂
English
What the team at @SauconyOrigs has been doing is nothing less than special! If you want to look at a brand that gets it and puts the same care into collaborations and inline product, you found them and this project with @3sixteen is another example of exceptional execution.
English
@madwatcher789 That’s your point. Not mine. 40%+ increase on the collab is not an observation you’ll see almost ever. Even the Hidden Asics you referenced wasn’t accurate…that’s a $160 shoe as a GR at retail. Collab $180. No pun intended but this type of increase is almost unheard of
English
An AM95 costs $190 now so that’s mute…for reference tho, Phantaci 95 (with much more elevated materials) was $220.
A typical AJ1 OG High costs $185, the Union collab (with elevated materials) cost $205 at retail.
A premium Adistar Control 5 costs $130, the collab is $185
