So to see how traffic was, I mapped out Stadium Mall to Nuuanu on Google Maps. Amazingly, Google told me to take the H3 over the Koolaus then go townbound on the Pali. 30 minutes said Google. I was thinking of taking Moanalua Highway towards Tripler, but Google said that route would take 15 minutes […]

Uniqlo x KAWS Restocked!
Did you catch the restock of Uniqlo’s collaboration with KAWS today? I was bummed and somewhat amazed that the initial launch sold out so quickly even causing a stampede. So I was thankful that I got the tees that I missed the first time around. These shirts must be in high demand again reading Uniqlo’s […]
The Nike Joyride Gives Me No Joy
Sadly, Nike’s newest runner featuring its bouncy beaded Joyride does not bring me joy. I ordered a pair of the Joyride Run Flyknit with my member access, and I even went a half size up based on early reviews by Foamer and Jami. They do look awesome. But when I tried on my Joyride, […]
Today Was Yeezy Day
Yes, I guess “Yeezy Day” is an actual thing where past and present Yeezy kicks are made available once again. Sounds like a kicks lover’s dream, but in reality, it really wasn’t. It was prolonged torture going after drop after drop that started at 3am Hawaii time. And being Yeezy Day, the releases came throughout […]
Kith Coming to Hawaii Momentarily
Yes, hypewear purveyor Kith is coming to Hawaii but only for a moment. On Friday, August 2, 2019, Kith is opening a pop-up store in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center in Waikiki but how long this pop-up will stay in Hawaii is not known. View this post on Instagram Traveling across the country with Coca-Cola […]
Posting for Posterity
Just wanted to post these pictures for the sakes of posterity. One day, I can look back on these and remember. Well, I can remember taking the L for the Travis Scott Jordan 1 Lows, but Cocobeanheart got the W. To ease the L, I treated myself to these limited time Hostess snacks. The Orange […]
Will Nordstrom Disappoint Again?
I just don’t know what to expect from Nordstrom online. Will they or won’t they?
I’m Starting to Sense a Pattern
I’m definitely starting to sense a pattern with me and Travis Scott shoe collaborations. As in, I’m never going to get them. I struck out on the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 High several times. Then I missed the Low drop on Travis’ own site and on the SNKRS draw the following day. You do […]
A SNS Raffle Win Isn’t
I’ve been lucky enough to have won two sneaker raffles from Sneakersnstuff (SNS) over the past year. My first raffle win was for the Yeezy 700 Inertia colorway, and my most recent raffle success landed me the Air Jordan 1 Retro Gym Red colorway. But as I’ve come to disappointintly learn, a SNS raffle win is […]
ResExp: Coppingkicks Mood
Okay, really, it’s not that bad. But right now, my #coppingkicks mood is like this: I missed out on most hyped releases, but again, just gotta keep things in perspective. Although they are just shoes, I wouldn’t have minded a pair or two (hint, hint Travis Scott).
A Morning of Stress
Bottom line: I didn’t get a pair of the Travis Scott Air Jordan 1 that released on Nike SNKRS. I was there, and I was ready with three phones and three accounts. But I got hit with error after error just trying to navigate the purchasing process. Apple Pay didn’t register. I think I mistyped […]
I Wasn’t the One, Overshoe Edition
I also was not the one who supposedly got the last size 9 of the Nike + Tom Sachs Mars Yard (Overshoe) High Tops from Mr. Porter.
