Welcome to the inaugural Pick Ups post. In these posts, we will be showcasing some of the kicks we recently.....well....picked up. This isn't about bragging or boasting about your collection, but about reminding our readers about what's out there. Whether we pick up recent drops, beaters, vintage kicks or anything in between, you can bet we'll blog about it. On to my recent pick ups.

Three of my recent pick ups just happen to be Jordans. Self admittedly, I'm not what most consider a Jordan-head, but I definitely appreciate them; I to XIs in particualr. I copped the Nylon Sapphire Is in April and the True Blues in the summer. Those were my first two Js. But recently, I was able to scoop up some pretty classic Js, including the 2001 Black Cement IIIs...with the NIKE AIR on the back. They weren't deadstock but very close. I've rocked them a few times and they've definitely caused some sore necks.

At the same time I picked up the IIIs, I picked up the black/metallic silver Vs. Those are DS and I'm very hesitant to rock them. Being winter, it's making my decision to not wear them pretty easy, but I'll probably have a tough decision to make come May or June. Last week, I copped the Fire Red Vs (not the CDP version). Got em on eBay for 80 (plus shipping) so I think that's a pretty decent deal for VVVNDS.

I don't know how much Maxcak will be contributing to these posts considering he's limiting his pick ups. But hit us up in the comments section and let us know some of your recent pick ups.
