Occasional Wisdom

Occasional Wisdom is where we answer the questions sneaker fans keep asking: how things work, where shoes are made and how to wear them. Ever wondered why a pair shows up on StockX before its release date, where New Balance shoes are made or how to lace Jordan 1s? The answers are here, along with sizing guides, sneaker histories and beginner guides like our Sneaker Twitter guide. It’s for the curious, whether you’re new to the game or have collected for years.
