What is Nike about to summon?

Like falling into your opponent’s trap, .SWOOSH surprised the sneaker world last night by posting a collaborative post with the official account for Yu-Gi-Oh! on their Instagram. The teaser references the friendship mark Tea draws on Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and herself on the pilot episode of the animated series. The drawing is a sign of their strong bond as friends.

San Diego Comic Con’s preview night took place last night, and the SoleSavy team was able to secure a first look at what appears to be promotional cards featuring Nike branding. Said promotional cards were hidden away, like a millennium item lost for generations, within Konami’s booth at the convention.

Konami’s booth featured two different promo cards. A Trap card in Japanese and a Spell card in English. The trap card features easter eggs that reference the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. Meanwhile, the english card features a pun that is likely a reference to the Air Max line. The Air Max 95 is featured on both cards, while a SWOOSH logo is featured on the card’s description box.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
