I (kinda) HATE Nike’s Black History Month sneakers.
Yes, you read that heading correctly and yes I understand that HATE is a strong word but in this context–at least for me–it’s a perfect fit.
THANK YOU: Matt Stevens & the MAX100 book.
Usually when someone is kind enough to send me a product of theirs, if I put it on the blog, I take lots of pictures and speak glowingly about said item.
