welcoming yโall into my 5th fitted design, in collaboration with not only my brothers/best friends, but with @HatClub ๐๐ฝ๐ฅน
A lot more content to provide storytelling details and the significance of this collection. Stay tuned and alert for 7/11/2026 ๐งข PHILLY ITS ๐
@KariDaniels And look, I get the points youโve been making on the subject, also understand you getting that bag. Your wording just rubbed me the wrong way as someone who doesnโt get opportunities ๐. As a real world photographer, Iโd never take a portrait job for no money, so I get ya.
@KariDaniels real talk, when first starting out, did you not do โworkโ for free shoes/apparel to create those connections? The only gatekeeping Iโve been seeing is you fighting for the creators trying to make this a living and bashing people for accepting free things for content
Thank to the participation trophies being handed out in the name of free shoes for marketing, itโs made this all become a gold rush of sorts, where everyone is trying to outdo everyone else to see & be seen while also gaslighting & Gatekeeping as many as possible to maintain what little position people think they have out here. Itโs toxic.
@Craignoicecube@KariDaniels Nah, I totally agree with you. There are photographers blessed with things and talked highly of in the โx circleโ and I think their work is trash ๐. I was disagreeing with how @KariDaniels has been positioning his thoughts on the situation as participation trophies.
@KariDaniels Then say that. Saying things like โparticipation trophiesโ in form of free shoes isnโt portraying your point. Itโs lumping everyone into the same category, including those trying to grow connections.
@ChefDoomy For that price tag, is it the most comfortable Asics? Like does this model (not the collab price) warrant the price increase of other Asics models?
Sneaker Chronicles Shoe 25 | Nike Air Liquid Max ๐
I wasn't completely sold on the Nike Air Liquid Max when I first saw it in the all black colorway. Now that Nike is introducing more colors into the mix, it's starting to grow on me.
Enjoy the images ๐ธ
@KariDaniels I mean, he kind of has a point. Itโs rare that a YT video or IG post sways me my original thoughts on a product. The most important thing to me is sizing on certain kicks, which I can get from some YT channels. Everything else is just enjoying good photos/b roll.
