Nike, for the love of God, stop making new Penny Hardaway kicks. I think the Penny V looks like a solid shoe, I just don't understand why Nike insists on making new shoes for a guy who has been retired for five years and hasn't been an impact player for about twelve years. I get that the Penny line is legendary, but I feel like Nike is cheapening the classics by creating new shoes. I also can't stand having to see Penny at sneaker events and on blogs all the time because it depresses the hell out of me. Most young sneaker heads have no idea how good Penny was before his Microfracture surgery in 2001. It's a damn shame that kids today know him more for kicks than his game.

There's an epidemic that's been ravaging the sneaker culture for the last couple of years...RENT-A-SNEAKERHEADS.
These are the dudes who cop a shoe that's hyped, wear it long enough to be seen/have pics taken, and then try to resell them for over retail...FUCK THAT. This shit is beyond lame to me. This shit is the epitome of the "GOT MINE"/competitive attitude that is ruining sneaker culture. People copping for all the wrong reasons. All you Rent-A-Sneakerheads need to fall back and let someone who intends to actually keep the shoe get theirs. If you're gonna wear some shit once and then sell it, at least have the decency to sell for retail or less.
Also, DS is DS motherfucker...it is or it ain't. I don't give a fuck if you rocked them on a magic carpet, if you put them on, they're no longer deadstock. So many people have a fucked up interpretation of what DS is. Deadstock means the shoe has not been tried on. Most heads consider DS unworn, which is acceptable also.
Anything less is not DS...sorry, I didn't mean to get all Jesse Jackson on you with a rhyme. Moving on...
I can't rock with this lazy reboot of the Galaxy KD IV. All they did was switch the silver to gold and replaced the glowing sole with a translucent blue one. They already have 385,973 colorways. Less is more Nike, less is more.
How you gonna make a Jordan shoe look like a monochromatic AIDS quilt? This bullshit right here makes me wanna run up in the offices at Jordan Brand and fuck up whoever thought of this sorry ass shit.
