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.
I Wasn’t the One
Nope, I wasn’t the one who supposedly got the last one of these Funko Pop Michael Jordans with free shipping from Fanatics.com.
Last of the True Forms
There it goes, the last of my Yeezy 350 True Forms. Launched in Europe, I’m glad that many European retailers ship to the US, but it’s my American fault for not learning the European shoe sizes. Otherwise a True Form would have been a personal keeper if I knew that size EUR 44 2/3 equaled a US 10.5. Instead I ended up with a size EUR44 which is a US 10 and since the 350 run small, it’s more like an uncomfortable 9.5 for me.
I Got No Jacks
Is this becoming a theme? No Frogs, no FOGs, and now no Jacks. Oh BTW, Happy Birthday Travis Scott!
To commemorate being 28 years old, good old TS let go a few more pairs of his Cactus Jack Air Jordan 1. I thought I had a chance but no, that top tier stuff still eludes me. I was in queue to checkout for so long but now that I think about it, I should have used several browsers to increase my odds. That’s my bad, and my bad looks like this.
I didn’t realize this was my third strikeout on the Cactus Jack Jordans. There was the initial drop then the Grammy drop, now this birthday surprise. There’s one opportunity left on May 11 and even though there are a lot of retailers, those familiar names didn’t work out with the FOGs.
I Have No Fear of God
Literally, I have no Fear of God (FOG). Nike and designer Jerry Lorenzo are at it again partnering the swoosh with FOG and releasing two original silhouettes, the odd Moc and the old school Raid. Yes, that Air Raid with the signature criss-crossed double straps and made for the outdoor court. But the FOG Raid has been refined and retooled in the FOG style. But from the recent drop, I have neither.
Okay, so I discounted the Moc at the outset focusing only on the Raid. I struck out on Nike SNKRS which was a bad sign. A common size selling out that fast was surely an indicator. Then every drop after that was miss after miss. Even overseas shoe sellers didn’t help me. Restocks were missed along with later drops by Undefeated and xhibition. It was ugly (and sad).
It was so sad that I needed consolation in the form of a Coke Zero Orange Vanilla.
And I gotta say that this new drink is very good. Wouldn’t think so, but this combination is a winner. Would have been better along with a FOG Raid though.
And if you’re keeping score, I have no Frogs and no FOGs.
Captchas Confuse Me
Captchas are supposed to help distinguish people from software bots by asking visual questions that only real humans can supposedly answer. But this one stumped me.
Do you see any motorcycles in the above image? I guess you should call me Mr. Roboto.
Post Post Bonkers Bonkery
If you missed the Nike SB Dog Walker release on Bonkers yesterday, go back and take a look what’s there today. Just don’t actually make a purchase otherwise it seems like you’ll actually get a pair of old socks!
Post Bonkers Recovery
The only way to recover from repeatedly striking out at Bonkers (on Saturday) is to drink the new Orange Vanilla Coke.
Getting that Nike SB Dunk Walk the Dog shoe was harder than I would have thought, and no, I could not get them.
Happy Easter! Costco Is Closed

Anthem Is a Shoe Palace?
Say what? That Anthem store in Pearlridge Phase 1 Uptown is actually a Shoe Palace in disguise?
The employees wear the SP uniform and all plastic bags have the SP branding. But… this location gets the hype releases like the recent Yeezy Clays although only one full size run. And sadly, this shoe guy was one person too late to buy the last Clay. 🙁
Walked into the store and say that Yeezy 350 box and asked if had any more. That was the last one being bought.
Honoring the End of A Song of Ice and Fire
So my household is paying tribute to the end of The Game of Thrones, a Song of Ice and Fire, and I mean that literally. Before the last season of GoT airs, my home has no ice or fire. My ice maker isn’t working and now the pilot light in my water heater is out.
I have no ice and fire, and soon enough, I will not have A Song of Ice and Fire.
I Searched for “Jordan mid”
So on Footlocker.com, I did a search for the terms “jordan mid” and got these results. I don’t get it.
I supposed Jordan is close to “Juicy?”
