my 8 year old son is getting his shot this saturday, and i don’t remember being this thankful and excited for anything in a long while.

the day before, we’re going out for tacos, new shoes and videogames to celebrate getting to the goal line

Thankful for a supportive and loving family, the friends in the sneaker community I’ve made this year, and another day to try it again.

Thankful for the clarity of purpose I've developed over the past year as I made a big scary career pivot which has (so far!) gone extremely well.

Very thankful for this newsletter, which has made sneakers feel infinitely more accessible as I've started getting into them over the past year or two.

Lastly, thankful for the past 48 hours in which I, against all odds, scored two Ws on SNKRS (Maroon Rush Patta Air Maxes and EA on the Cool Grey XIs).

I’m thankful for my incredibly supportive family, who I wouldn’t have taken this career leap without. I’m also thankful for my awesome coworkers for building me up when I start suffering from impostor syndrome. Last but not least, my friends and those that belong to this community. It’s nice to feel part of something.

Keep rocking.

Thankful for all you do too, Mike.

I'm thankful for my girlfriend, the best partner I could ask for. I'm thankful to have a great job and a blessed life in our little home with our two pups. Lastly I am thankful for all my "Got'em's" this past year.
