I’ve been mad late getting my pics up from SNEAKER FRIENDS 2010 – but suffice to say I got crazy hits on my article for SNEAKER FREAKER which you can see HERE. I’ve been waiting to get a new site done up to showcase the entire collection of images from the event (over 200!). If you want to read about my experience in ATLANTA, rather than repeat myself, just go HERE.
Needless to say I met a whole stack of amazing collectors, sneaker afficiados and crazy dope guys (and the odd chick – where the hell were all my ladies at?). Anyway, massive props to Greg Street, Mayor, Premium Pete, DJ Clark Kent, CtotheJL, Franalations, Matt Halfhill from Nice Kicks, the entire TheShoeGame.com crew, KIX Files, Ace, Marcus Troy, Heatseekers Crew, Manolo Prado, Ronnie Fieg, Joe La Puma, adidas and everyone who made me feel so damn welcome! Check out the ENTIRE 200 photos HERE and don’t forget to check out the video HERE
Jordan23s insane collection was so off the hook, seriously I milled past this table over 300 times, everytime seeing something amazing that caught my eye…wholly holy grail table!
A blogger’s powerhouse - (back left to right) Joe La Puma of Complex, Matt Halfhill at Nice Kicks, (front left-right) CtoTheJL, Marcus Troy
The baaawse himself – Mr Rick Ross
Good Music’s GLC rolled through too
One of the funniest dudes you’ll meet – MAYOR – his knowledge of sneakers is unsurpassed!
I have this guy to thank for introducing me to everyone and making sure I was all good! Premium Pete is seriously one of the most down to earth cats you’ll come across. His sneaker game is SERIOUS but he knows he doesn’t need to flaunt it. LEGEND!
Izy from Nike Bespoke (who you’ve heard me rave about in other posts) plus the towering DJ that is Clark Kent from the ATF Crew
The infamous Ronnie Fieg, who made the trip down from New York for the day – how he gets time off from his busy schedule of creating classic kicks and killer Asics collabs is beyond me. Super dude!
Joe La Puma from Complex – another legendary cat who has continually kept ya’ll up to date on what’s the business in the sneaker scene.
At first I thought Marcus Troy was some famous RnB singer, cos he’s cute as hell, but then I found out about his blog and realised he is doin’ massive things in the street game!
Talking about doin’ big things – the scene would be nothing without CtotheJL! An amazingly gifted talented and wise cat for such a young tacker!
Part of Jordan23′s table, this original pair of DS Michael Jackson-signed Billie Jean loafers were off the heez! Amazeballs
The day was rounded out by a killer giveaway with people who were rocking the “worst” shoes going home with new pairs of heat. I’ve never seen so many heads claim their kicks were shite! One minute their trying to break necks, the next their claiming that their steez is crap. Gotta love the scene!
