words // Zac Dubasik

One of the things that helps to keep things so interesting on Sole Collector is your comments. Some of them make us laugh. Some make us angry. Some make us think. There are comments we agree with, and others where we wonder what drugs the person posting is on. But we appreciate them all.

We’re taking a look back each month at some of the best examples we’ve found of each type of comment. And in order to protect the innocent, we’ve removed the names of the individuals making the comments. We did however leave them fully intact. No edits whatsoever have been made.

Check them out, and let us know what you think. And let us know if you made any we missed.

“Not a big fan or Jordan Brand clothing most of the time, but that hoodie and bucket hat are pretty decent actually. I don't see elephant print on either one.

19 Air Jordans That Haven't Retroed Yet 

“Shouldn't there be some sneakers that are never retroed? I guess its pretty much too late now since Nike has retroed to death practically all of them already. Nike should had never retroed some Jordan's in there original colors. That was the mistake from the beginning. For example instead of the retro V grapes with the same color blocking of the originals,Nike should've just released the all black grapes. Or at least a reversed color blocking of the original grapes.”
