Gary Warnett has been one of the most trusted individuals in this industry for over two decades. He’s acted as a consultant and copywriter for almost every brand in the business and is considered as one of the few go-to-guys for unfiltered, unbiased analysis of sneakers. Gary was also closely associated with Crooked Tongues, a sneaker forum as well as a sneaker store that was considered to be among the most influential and game-changing in sneaker culture.
Rest in peace, Gary. Take the time to read some of his musings on the industry in his personal blog here. We’ve been privileged to call Gary a friend.
RIP to my friend Gary and peace and love to his friends and family. Very sad news today. He will be missed…
