I cant believe I am just finding this. Ive sat here and read 15 pages and cant believe the humble attitude of this Corgi fellow. And his love of dogs is justas sweet!
I hope to be able to say I got at least one pair from your collection but just being able to read this and follow the process is awesome real talk!
The buying,selling, conversating on shoes would be much more enjoyable if everyone I dealt with had the same attitude as this gentlemen. All I can say is Iwill now be passing this info of the blog onto everyone who will listen and will now add it to my daily website checks.
Thanks again man!

thanks for the positive words. I truly appreciate a lot of you who vouch for me and my legitimacy. It amazes me how skeptical people are these days but then isee how many frauds and scam artists are out there. Whats even funnier is that throughout the years some of the biggest scumbags have been your "shoegods". Some have been outed but many havent and its truly a shame. I mention "culture vulture" a lot. Theres a lot of "shoe gods" whoi feel are theee (not theeee Ohio St University...thats for you Shundy) biggest frauds and fakes out there. But there is a very ugly side to sneakers. From thetop to the bottom. There will never be a tell all from me but i cannot beleive who gets away with what and for how long.

Free bump for Corgi...
Also good sir did you ever think that maybe New Balance dosen't lace you for free because your already sold on their product? Pepper in some bad reviews oftheir product every onec in a while and I'm sure they will hook you up...
Just messing...
Seriously though NB's are the best sneakers I've run in and my 993's are still going strong...1 5K and being worn every day for just abouteverything and they still look like I picked them up last week...Love this model...

i never wanted to sell the shoes but i cam out of prison had no money, and no one wanted to hold my shoes for me anymore. So i had to sell them.But realistically, after not paying attention to shoes at all since 03/early 04 it wasnt that difficult. I just felt so dissasociated with shoes. The toughestpart was having to try and deal with eGay or not being a "newb" on these shoe stroke boards and being allowed to sell the shoes. So i did what wasnatural. Went to wordpress.com, saw what flight club did as far as categories (with the helpful suggestions of Ruffin51) and asked a few people to help get theword out. What is the real point of having that many pairs? exactly especially since i was a virtual unknown except for when the hundreds blew me up in 2004for a bit. But i never took em to shows or did summits or really talked much about them anbd certainly didnt look at them myself except when i would get apair. So basically why have them, i only wear a few of them and my "shoe dreams" were ended by two things: me going to prison again and the brandsbastardizing themselves and compromising their integrity. BUT and I stress BUT IN AN EFFORT TO APPEASE THE "SNEAKERHEAD" who ate up all thegimmicksand crap and bells and whistles and still do. So sure we can all knock the shoe brands but we all needto take a look in the mirror or moreso our closets andsee the truth.
Curry's are just a bit of luck on my end. Finishline had them for $30, then $19.99 then $14.99 and that was when you could use the coupons like $10 off a$50 purchase or $25 off a $100 purchase. Do the math. Plus i knew a lot of the shadeball managers and district managers in the mall store companies who rantheir own businesses as well as their respective companies. So i bought maybe 50 pairs. Sent a few size runs to a very influential sneaker spot in toronto forsome favors they could do for me and voila i have about 18 pairs of currys sitting. Ive sold a fair amount but its just an example of how i thought and howthings worked. I always just figured i'd end up being a shoe trader. People used to do that actually before it became "shoe selling". So my tradebusiness and why i have so many odd sizes of muliple pairs is now a "sales business".
Im very jaded and can never buy a shoe again but will take my memories to the grave. And truthfully thats all i need. I may come off as bitter but i still dontknow a single person who has the passion for shoes i have. And personally all of you should feel that way about yourselves. Its not being better than, its havepride and respect for our little hobby.

Man, and that's what it's all about...
I love reading about that stuff, man. Not the incarcerated part, of course, but the hustle, the grind.
Years ago, I took over a tattoo shop from my old boss/junkie. Once he became a junkie, I had to roll, and a year or so later, I owned the shop. Long storyshort, it didn't work out so well, due to me not wanting to trade tattoos for dope, so it was pretty slow. Had to do what else I knew - hustle, sneakers,and artwork. It just worked out that a friend of mine was a shipping and receiving manager at a Nike clearance outlet (R.I.P) and would call me when stuffwould come in... you name it, and it was there.. SB's, AM's, Jordans, you name it.. Atmos AM1's and 95's were $24.99.. Heineken dunks,Supa's, ZooYork's, chocolates, Gino 1's.. 1st series stuff.. all were $29.99. Needless to say, I was buying 'em by the case..
Homie, I'm nobody either.. just some dude that just loves the sneakers, the nostalgia, the history, the chase, just like you do.. I remember seeing thepics that were posted of your crib and thinking 'HOLY $H..." crazy.. even crazier, was that I definitely understood that it was LOVE. When you haveall sizes of everything? to me? that says "damn, I need that for the collection"
Hit me up sometime, homie..

exactly what im sayin. this thing is just starting. Imma turn it into a swap meet. Selling rims, new eras, PEZ, Tupac bedazzled shirts, and shoes.Maybe even fronts for the whiggers out there. But in a ll seriousness, i can beleive you are just finding this because the sneaker showcase is the only place istop on NT. I dont go to iss because steve is a fraud and culture vulture. I do lurk the crooked tongues message boards because i have always felt the UK hashas a greater appreciation for shoes than the US. And thats about it. I speak my mind and let anyone else speak theirs. I dont message board bang or whateverelse these idiots wanna make a pair of sneakers into. I dont say "im 12 years old and have $20,000 worth of shoes in the last year and my parents give meno money". i just say what i want. Often look back and see what a schmuck i sound like but hey...it is what it is. I dont edit and NT takes out all theswear words automatically. Thats is so awesome. I remember back in teh early 2000 mods like air dirty were like the swear police. But hey, i shouldnt have toswear when talking about shoes but sometimes you just gotta say *#%%. Again this sint a selling thread but a showcase and talk about anything thread. I sellthrough my free little blog which can be considered so graciously by the mods here on NT.
I try nd treat each emailer and poster with respect. Offers are arbitrary but my most snarky reply is "sell me every pair you can find and have at thatprice sir, i'll come to you with cash and buty them all"
thanks for checking it out. The thread is cool to me. The blog is cool sometimes. The money is always cool. Just being honest

couldnt agree with Cb and you both more. No matter what you have in your collection or how many pairs of "heat" all you have is shoes.You are nobody and shouldnt be acting and posting like u are. Like i always say, bragging about your "heat" or "ultra limited i want to strokeJordan PE" (hey jordan PE collectors why do you all have the same rare one of a kind shoe? why do you think you are special> all u need is money andyou can be the biggest and bestest PE "shoe god") is like bragging about your stamp or pez collection. Anyone wanna shoe me your PE Cabbage patchthat jeff or marcus jordan owned as a kid please post them in this forum.
We are alkl somebody and should be proud of what we own but not worship and tribute someone for what they own. Moreso for how they act, carry themselves, andCONDUCT BUSINESS. Shoe gods, you will be exposed if you keep doing what you are doing to honest kids whio think they are getting that you know you arentselling!!!

Corgi- I noticed that you have sooooo many damn shoes, but no PE's. You're definately the exception to the rule.......seems anyone with the kindaon-line "rep" you have is deep into PEs, for whatever reason.
What are your thoughts on PEs.....seems like you're not a fan of most that collect them........why is that?
Be well.

thanks kindly sir. Sometimes it works ot sometimes it dont. As longas there's dialogue theres always a shot. Pay your bills, provide for yourloved ones and responsibilities, not your feet. Wear em all, ice em all, sell em all. Its all the same. No matter what we want to say or pretend its abusiness. Just like bacon, just like snickers, just like juju bees at the movies. Its all a business. There thryin for socialism but its not here yet!

a, i will definitely get into this one. I need to speak volumes on it and then tell all my beloved PE collectors that they prolly wont be sendingme a xmas/kwanza/chanukkah(sp), festivus card this year because as my into PE collectors are frauds, very disillusiioned culture vultures, and basically justmemorabilia collectors. Set upa booth next to upper deck or something. I need time for this one.

imma replyto each and every one of yous in the next day or two. The whole job/wife/having my dogs for the next 3 weeks things slows my lurking time on NT abit. On a side not Jake, my aunt is one of theee top PEZ collectors in the world. She has some worth 5 , 7 , $10,000. She goes to pez conventions has pezsummits etc etc. And you know what she thinks about my shoes? That im nutz. Thats wht i tell you all being Mr. Sneakernational Male is ODD to 99% of the restof society. Its not considerd cool. Now to me itsthe greatest thing ever. I love shoes and dont care. But its a personal thing. I dont need validation, iwelcome criticism/hate(hi steve mullholland). Theres nothing wrong with buying collectiong shoes, or PEZ or beanie nabies or stamps but keep itin perspective.You are not that special. And like i say time and time again. ALL U NEED IS $$$$. In a hobby where you haveto pay to buy the shoes, i wonder who will have the"best collection" with the "most heat". My favorite is the "quality over quantity posts". Its always some kid who has boughtevery tier zero, retro of a retro of a hybrid DMP pack tier zero which includes a free dildow from supreme released that year. Then they say " i collectquality over quantity". If you had more money your opinion of quality would vastly differ because you can buy more shoes. Just say "i buy what iwant, what i can afford. If i had money like some of you here on NT or money like corgi HAD...i repeat HAD, i would have a massive collection of everything andcould by GR releases as well as sleep on curbs for a battery operated shoe". No one ever has the right to say quality over quantity. Its all subjectiveand i hate to tell you but most of the time what people say is quality is what the hype sheppard has told the blinded shoe sheep to buy. Again, all it takes is$$$ and you too can become a "shoe god". Because with $$$ comes connections because everystore and reseller is nothing but a +!$$* in this weirdhobby (i refuse to say shoe game.....you all need to stop listening to so much rap. you are getting wiorse than all these kick push kill skateboarders whothink they are all on some gangster killer business. Your on plywood and 4 wheels. Relax.) Anyways im sure that was pointless but i say what i wanna say when iwanna say it so good for me bad for me who really cares.
Bottom line is thanks. I love this thread. We can discuss anything in here.
EDIT___did i really go third person on a nickname i gave myself. What exactly is the term for that? english majors help me out here. I said "If i hadmoney like some of you here on NT or money like corgi HAD". Wow i feel like a professional athlete now. Going thrid person on a nickname i gave myself.Classsic!!!
