SneakerCon Recap

Category: Events

SneakerCon was this past Saturday – just wanted to share some photos from the event and thank the fellas at SneakerNews for having us down!

Tons of people and sneakers…wet dream for some, overwhelming to others. Solid turnout though and lots of fresh kicks…

Like these. I’m not an Air Force guy, I only own 1 pair…but I am filipino, and should have never past on these when they first came out and they were just sitting there at GDFT, Montreal. I don’t have too many regretted pass ups….but this is surely one of them. :(

Flight Lites were one of my things as a kid. I liked to ball in them and squish the foamy parts that are carved out on the mid-sole. I’ve never seen this color which was kind of craze…

This was the best table there in my opinion. OG heat for days. A nice change from the typical Jordans, Air Max’s, and SB’s I saw dominating most tables and carried amongst the attendees. Nothing wrong with all of that, but this table offered a dope variety that provided a bit of true nostalgia. Not the type that’s reminisced about, yet they only dropped 5 years ago.

Like these…welcome to Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood! These were my size too…this is one I hope Nike retros and I think they eventually will. I never got them when I was a kid, instead I had an Admiral jacket by Chalkline. The ad campaign for these were some of Nike’s finest.

What you know about Spot Bilt? You’ll know soon enough. But these are a gem…taking me back to the days of Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott, and of course Joe Montana. Giants version of these anyone???

I was never into the Kaws craze, but pretty cool collection from Toy Tokyo.

Back to the shoes. I wore these Adidas Jeremy Scott 3-tongues. Adidas was there showcasing some goodies due out later this summer. I decided to be a pal and snap some photos for you to see some of what’s in store for you! Click on the “read more” below to get an exclusive look at some of the Adidas “O by O” Fall releases…

YM – Freshnessmag/SneakerNews/SneakerCon mastermind was wearing these Fortitudes. He’s one of the few people out there who regularly rocks pairs that just make me snarl.

Now for the Jeremy Scott’s. I saw these back in February and have been talking your ear off ever since if you came into the shop and showed love for the 3-stripes. I’m glad you get to finally see for yourself. The JS Wings…and YES, that is all reflective. As for what’slurking behind…that you’ll have to be patient for.

Amazing. I’d like to see a version in “ghetto yellow with broke blue writing”…
