Feb 19, 2025
For my post on the existence of God, see link below https://housakicks.com/the-eternal-perspective/truth-for-life-e1-how-do-we-know-that-we-are-serving-the-true-god/ This morning, I came across the Action Bronson New Balance 990v6 Lapis Lazuli, thanks to a text from a friend who praised the shoe’s fantastic look compared to the previous iteration. This particular colorway is the second installment in the Baklava collection, and I was curious about the inspiration behind it. In the video, i discuss the shoes and also the resale value.

hey what's going on guys this is
0:02
kicks.com and uh I did not plan on doing
0:05
this video so I'm glad I'm actually
0:07
doing this because this is an impromptu
0:10
so I always love those because when you
0:12
don't prepare for something it just
0:13
happens spontaneously this is a good
0:15
this is good news so this morning I
0:18
received a text uh message from my uh
0:20
frame and uh he read this way let me
0:24
read it to you real quick
0:26
uh you said to me this morning hey
0:30
Action Bronson new balance on June 22nd
0:33
this colorway is way better than the
0:35
first one in my opinion
0:37
and I asked him is it going to be
0:39
limited and he never replied to me but
0:41
anyway I went and looked up the shoe and
0:43
I saw that she was named the New Balance
0:46
990 V6 lapiz lazuli now before I even
0:50
say anything else the shoe was pretty
0:52
much the second installment of the of
0:54
the back of a between Action Bronson and
0:59
new violence so this actually it's a
1:02
good looking shoe he has all kind of
1:04
colors on the yellow navy blue denim
1:06
like colorway teal blue purple a little
1:10
bit of aged midsole more blue tier I
1:14
mean it's just an incredibly an
1:16
incredible shoe I'm not going to take
1:18
that away from the shoe it looks
1:19
incredible it looks nice and I'm sure
1:21
you're super comfortable okay so those
1:23
are so many pictures that I was able to
1:25
collect online as I was doing my
1:27
research today and this is the back of
1:29
the shoe this is the bottom of the shoe
1:32
and this is the tongue on the outside of
1:34
the tongue it reads baklavana back lever
1:37
is a I think it's a dessert my
1:39
sister-in-law used to make that a super
1:41
sweet extremely sweet so that's not
1:43
something that you want to eat if you
1:45
have type 2 diabetes or any types of
1:47
sugar problem because you take your
1:49
sugar way high okay so baklava is really
1:52
sweet so yes the sugars actually mesh on
1:54
the toe that's for your ventilation
1:56
process uh translation purposes 990 at
2:00
the on the quarter panel that's branding
2:02
more New Balance logo on the midsection
2:04
and this is Action Bronson actually
2:06
rocking the shoe when it's neat and this
2:09
is more of him and this is the back of
2:12
the shoe
2:13
action browser in action he has a purple
2:16
sweater now Action Bronson I actually
2:19
have never heard somebody's dude believe
2:23
it or not all I've heard is that he
2:25
sounds a lot like Ghostface Killer from
2:27
Wu-Tang Clan I've never actually
2:28
listened to any of his songs not that I
2:30
don't like him I just don't care much
2:32
for it so I've never really listened to
2:34
any of his songs so now what really
2:37
caught my attention is this like so when
2:39
I see a shoe like this my goal is always
2:41
okay what's the backstory behind the
2:43
shoe so I went and checked out the
2:44
backstory and it kind of blew my mind
2:46
not in a good way I just thought man
2:50
this dude is nuts right so again when
2:53
you listen to these rapper sometimes you
2:55
think they they have so much knowledge
2:57
or they know a lot and then when they
2:59
open their mouth they say some stupid
3:01
things that really make you think what
3:03
are you thinking well it doesn't
3:04
surprise me because this is the kind of
3:06
world that we live in now okay now
3:08
here's what he said on his Instagram
3:10
account and he goes metaphysically again
3:12
I just quoted entire statement No
3:16
delayage which I guess it means
3:18
knowledge right and it goes since the
3:21
earliest times
3:23
has been associated with strength and
3:26
courage royalty and wisdom and elect and
3:29
truth from Antiquity lapis lazuli has
3:33
been warned in the belief that a reward
3:35
of evil and he put He put in capital
3:37
letters I'm a Believer man these dudes I
3:42
mean basically La pis lazuli is a
3:44
gemstone believed to have mystical
3:46
powers and those mystical paths can
3:49
protect you from evil again they can
3:50
protect you against evil so when I read
3:53
his statement I just thought man Romans
3:55
1 verse 18 to 23. I'm going to take you
3:57
to Romans and read you what the
3:59
scripture says okay this is the word the
4:01
word of God says now Paul is writing to
4:04
Believers and they were Gentile
4:06
Believers so he sets the stage and now
4:08
he's gonna give his punchline listen to
4:10
what he says in first verse 16 he goes
4:13
for I am not ashamed of the Gospel
4:16
for it is the power of God to everyone
4:18
who believes to the Jew first and also
4:20
to the Greek or the Gentiles for in in
4:23
the gospel the righteousness of God is
4:25
revealed from faith and for Faith as it
4:28
is written the righteous shall live by
4:31
faith now Paul goes in now goes in on
4:34
everyone that rejects the the truth of
4:37
sacred scripture listen to what he says
4:38
here
4:39
for the wrath of God
4:43
is revealed from Heaven against all
4:47
ungodliness and unrighteousness of men
4:50
who by their own righteousness oppress
4:53
the truth
4:54
for what can be known for God is playing
4:56
to them because God has shown it to them
5:00
for his invisible attributes namely his
5:03
eternal power and divine nature have
5:06
been clearly perceived ever since the
5:08
creation of the world in the things that
5:10
have been made so they are without
5:13
excuse for although the new God they did
5:17
not honor him as God or give thanks to
5:19
him but they became futile in their
5:22
thinking and their foolish Hearts were
5:24
darkened claiming to be wise they became
5:26
fools and exchanged the glory of the
5:29
immortal God for images
5:31
resembled man or birds or animal or
5:35
creeping things now putting their
5:36
gemstone so basically Paul is saying
5:38
here that this like people know that God
5:41
exists because God himself has shown
5:44
himself to them in the sense that the
5:46
whole creation screamed the existence of
5:49
one that is eternal that has a city who
5:52
has no beginning and no end he is but
5:55
people choose to reject this knowledge
5:57
and then they exchange the glory of God
6:00
for anything else that will suit their
6:02
own perverted thoughts so this is
6:05
exactly what Action Bronson is doing
6:06
right now basically
6:08
this is what he did he has exchanged the
6:11
glory of God and he has replaced God by
6:14
what a gemstone called apis lazuli
6:16
because that suit his own little
6:19
perverted World okay so there's a
6:22
conviction here because he claims this
6:25
stone is going to protect him so
6:27
basically you're saying you have no need
6:28
for God so you exchange the glory of God
6:31
you completely repress so press
6:34
and stifle the truth of God and be
6:37
reject it and you exchange it with your
6:39
own fabrication
6:40
and this is unfortunate because such
6:43
beliefs can lead many astray and then
6:45
people are gonna look at a guy like
6:47
Action Bronson and say man this dude is
6:49
dropping knowledge he's dropping some
6:51
tools man he's so deep no he's not he's
6:54
ridiculous he's stupid for the statement
6:57
that he has made because what he did was
7:00
an idolatrous statement he said
7:01
something that is not true because the
7:03
gemstone is a dead thing he's a created
7:06
thing and you cannot use it you cannot
7:09
use a gemstone to protect you against
7:10
any evil that's not gonna happen God
7:13
when I say God I'm talking about the God
7:16
of Sacred Scriptures which we call the
7:19
Bible the god of the Jews because Jesus
7:22
himself says in the Book of John
7:24
salvation is of the Jews because again I
7:27
challenge anyone that want to challenge
7:29
me on this okay if you want to talk
7:30
about it please let's do so and I'm not
7:33
bragging because this is a matter of
7:35
life and death I wrote extensively on my
7:38
website you can go on house or kids and
7:40
I a link in the description where I'll
7:42
show you how do we know that we are
7:45
serving the true God it's an extensive
7:46
article it took me a long time to write
7:48
this to show you proof by proof that the
7:51
god of the scripture is the only true
7:53
God that deserves our adoration and our
7:56
worship so if you want to challenge me
7:57
on this please ask me any questions I
7:59
would love to talk to you about it
8:01
because I cannot stand when people say
8:03
stuff like this this is so silly and
8:05
it's ridiculous of a statement and
8:08
action brushing should be ashamed of
8:10
himself for saying that because yes he
8:12
put it in capital letter I may believe
8:14
that a jam story is going to protect me
8:17
man this is silly and I hope that he
8:20
repents of his sin because like the
8:23
scripture says the ra of God is coming
8:27
against all unrighteousness of men who
8:31
suppress the truth in unrighteousness
8:33
because
8:34
it is his own immorality that that that
8:38
leads him to make such a vile coming and
8:41
talk about how you believe in this Stone
8:43
the gemstone that's gonna do what for
8:45
you nothing absolutely
8:48
see the fool says in his heart there is
8:50
no God so if you ask I believe you if
8:52
you ask action person do you believe in
8:54
God he's going to claim that God is
8:55
everything God isn't in nature God is in
8:58
the jam God is in my new balances I mean
9:01
this is silly basically he's talking
9:03
about Ward enough evil he has both of
9:06
his plane of his feet planted in evil
9:09
and he's talking about protecting
9:11
himself against evil brother vote for
9:14
your feet are planted in evil so please
9:16
don't tell me you're trying to ward off
9:18
evil because you are walking in evil if
9:21
you are believing this nonsense and
9:24
again I don't want to apologize for this
9:25
because I know I'm speaking the truth
9:27
and I'm not bragging because truth has
9:29
to be a objective
9:31
so I'm not sitting here saying well this
9:33
is what I believe no this is what I know
9:35
to be true because this is true truth
9:36
there is objective truth and there is
9:38
what is relative what I'm saying to you
9:40
is objective and I'm not gonna change my
9:43
mind for anything because I know that
9:45
this is the true truth okay so with that
9:49
said let's jump into resale so how is
9:52
the issue doing on third-party
9:54
marketplaces so let's gonna let's go I I
9:57
took a couple of um this is the data
10:00
that I collected earlier today so if you
10:02
look between June the 9th and June the
10:05
21st so this is the average resale value
10:08
of the shoe per day and that's between
10:10
like if this is a 12-day Spain if you
10:12
look on June the 9th the shoes was was
10:15
worth about 477. it jumped up to 682 the
10:20
very next day and then three days later
10:22
it dropped down to 521 and then it went
10:26
back up to 698 and then between the 20th
10:30
and the 21st there was another drop it
10:33
went down to 364 and then to 388 I'm
10:35
going to show you
10:37
uh the five numbers summary because if
10:40
you look at that five number saw me you
10:41
will understand why this has happened so
10:43
let me go here and then do the show it
10:46
slideshow real quick I'm gonna move my
10:47
mouse here so if you look the lowest uh
10:50
sale recorded was 200 and the highest
10:53
was 745 now I don't believe that the 200
10:55
was actually legitimate because
10:57
sometimes this uh this when you collect
11:00
data these sales might not affect the
11:03
actual reality but I do want to keep it
11:05
there for the sake of uh doing this so
11:07
like I said the lowest sale recorder was
11:09
200 and that's what size nine and a half
11:11
and that was on June the 20th and again
11:15
like I said it seems like this is not
11:16
legitimate because I don't think
11:18
anyone's going to be willing to sell
11:20
this shoe for even less than 250. yeah
11:22
the highest sale was 745 and that's that
11:25
was for size 12.
11:28
and that was on June the 10th that was a
11:30
little early now 25 of the shoes sold
11:32
between 200 and 327 and I'm gonna show
11:35
you the sizes in a minute and then half
11:38
of the shoes that is 50 sold between 327
11:41
and 505 000. now the two the top 25 sale
11:45
percent sales were between 505 and 745.
11:50
there were no outliers and the actual uh
11:54
overall average sale price was 425 and
11:57
their volatility was 32 percent that is
12:00
twice almost twice more than twice above
12:02
average that's pretty high of your
12:04
volatility okay now at 425 if you sell
12:07
this shoe you're gonna make about 154
12:09
dollars in profit and that's like 66 as
12:12
a markup 4.4 times above average this is
12:16
great news and it's probably one of the
12:17
best shoes to sell in the month of June
12:19
because everything has been has been
12:21
just bad man like so what size should
12:23
you sell so I'm going to show you in a
12:25
minute
12:26
before we look at that I'm going to show
12:28
you a couple of things here I'm gonna go
12:30
back exit the slideshow and show you
12:33
what I collected here so if you go back
12:34
to
12:35
this I want to show you what size are
12:37
doing better
12:38
okay so if you see a size 10 gives you
12:42
about 227 dollars a size 10 and a half
12:45
gives you a 214. the size 11 gives you
12:48
233 a size 12 gives you 311 size 8 gives
12:52
you 142 eight and a half gives you 91. 9
12:55
gives you 65 9 and a half gives you 81.
12:58
that's very unlikely because a lot of
13:01
shoes that I've been dropping lately
13:02
I've been just bad so this shoe is
13:05
actually good so if you want to make the
13:06
most money you definitely want to sell
13:08
the higher sizes like I said on my
13:11
slideshow here so if you can see like 38
13:15
of the sales led to like profit between
13:18
60 and 100 that size and then half nine
13:20
and nine and a half and 13 led to
13:23
earnings between 100 and 150 that's the
13:25
size I say that's only the only one now
13:27
the other 38 led to profit between 200
13:30
and 240 that size is 10 10 and a half
13:33
and eleven and the size 12
13:35
generated the most money that's what
13:38
that was 2 311 so again this is very
13:41
clear if you want to make money you want
13:43
to aim for those higher sizes large
13:46
sizes anything that's like 10 or above
13:49
will give you the most money but what's
13:51
the big takeaway from this thing
13:53
what I want you to take away is this
13:55
don't just listen to These Guys these
13:57
rappers or whoever the person may be you
13:59
know it could be just because they are
14:00
famous doesn't mean that they know truth
14:04
okay so how do you find out truth you
14:07
need to seek it right shake shake it so
14:10
if what I'm saying to you is not making
14:12
any sense I'm willing to have a dialogue
14:14
with you I'm willing to talk to you
14:15
about it I'm willing to really exchange
14:17
with you and show you why I know that
14:20
the truth or sacred scripture is true
14:23
truth again I cannot convince you unless
14:25
you're willing to listen listen with
14:28
open ears and your if you come to this
14:30
Arena don't come with a priest like some
14:32
kind of uh
14:35
what would I want to say
14:37
if you already have your mindset
14:39
don't talk to me because that's not
14:42
gonna change you you need to be willing
14:43
to listen to what I'm saying and
14:44
understand because I'm gonna logically
14:47
give you the reasons
14:49
they're gonna make you think
14:51
okay I'm not just saying talking just to
14:54
talk I really care because I know that
14:56
this is a matter of life and death
14:59
and the scripture tells us to tell the
15:01
truth and to give a defense for why we
15:04
believe what we believe okay and I'm
15:05
willing to do that with you so if you're
15:07
willing to talk please reach out all
15:09
right have a wonderful day and I'll see
15:11
you next time
