  • So it seems that creatives continue to copy/paste old models and pass off as new. @nike and @drake_offflclal @officialnocta will release a pair of NIKE Fins redone with NOCTA branding. These fins will also be for water sport. Disclaimer: Do NOT attempt to wear on the street. For those who are not sure about the difference between a "slide" and these "fins" - don't worry, the spring break videos of people tripping and falling over what they think are their new "slides" will go viral just in time to regroup for summer vacations. ✅️ Did we just predict the drop time??? These NIKE x NOCTAs are not slides. They are for swimming. Nike has yet to confirm the release date of NOCTA's aquatic drop. Pricing also remains unclear. You can get a pair of NIKE Fins for around $40.
  • If @wayzforlife can do it, so can you! "We design, source and produce locally. All the shoe components are sourced and production takes place within a 70kms radius in Porto, Portugal. Being close to our producers and suppliers is a big advantage because we can visit them often and build lasting relationships, work hand-in-hand, test new designs, materials and improve the quality of our sneakers. Besides, it drastically reduces the ecological footprint of our products because we don't need to make every shoe component travel the world several times, before our sneakers get to your feet." Our course Registration is OPEN. 👆🏾

  • Brooklyn native Delvin Carter breaks down the shoe game for his @sia_collective with @breakfastclubam Great info and insight into the production world that consumers should be educated on. Costs and creative execution does have a price. But actually, the price point for @sia_collective is spot on.
  • Check out this video on how happy ypur feet are in shoes 🤣 @ai526ai making a lot of people feel really silly right now. Try this out at home or wherever you are and see if you need to rethink your shoe collection. • • • • • • #repost: Is your foot happy in the shoe you wear? Take out the insole and outline the insole with a pen on a blank paper and place your foot on the outline with a natural splay. Or you can simply take out the insole and step on the insole as well. Now what do you see? Is your foot happy within the outline of the insole? If you want to try out barefoot shoes, @barefoot.universe provides a lot of information on getting your feet in the proper shoe. #functionalfootwear #footwear #foothealth #footfunction #fixyourfeet #freeyourfeet #restoreyourfeet #barefootshoes #widetoebox #thefootcollective #foothealth #shoes #shoedesign #footproblems #sorefeet
