A slice of heaven...if child labour laws are ignored there too
After weeks of waiting and various types of internet hype, I finally was able to go to the Fresh Kicks event at Halo last night. For those of you who haven't had to listen to my ramblings about the event, it was a sneaker showcase that celebrated hip-hop culture.
Having never been to this kind of show, I didn't know what to expect when I walked in (special thanks to Chloe for letting me drag her along). What I found inside was one component of my own personal heaven. My own personal heaven will have to wait for another post.
I saw at least five jaw-dropping shoes last night that made the wait more than worth it. Below are some of the highlights.
Air Jordan X (1995) Orlando Magic colourway
Air Jordan X (1995) Seattle Sonics colourway
Air Penny I retro (2005) New York Knicks colourway
Air Jordan Defining Moments Pack, released in select US cities this past January.
My newest shoe, the LeBron IV
And my personal favourite, an original Air Jordan XIV (1999) black/indigo with ribbing. The shoe was widely released without the ribbing (I have a pair) in '99, but the only time I've ever seen the ribbed shoe is in a Jordan DVD where he had one in his home. I can't even imagine what the owner of this shoe paid for it.
Finally, I wore my brown/brown suede Air Force One low, but caught no one's eye with them. Chloe got more attention with what she wore:

There's a LeBron IV already! Didn't that kid just break into the scene?
He did, but Nike outbid Reebok, Adidas and everyone else with a shoe to get him right out of high school. They signed him to a $100 million dollar deal without him ever playing an NBA game. Crazy, huh?
I heard about the signing in HS part. I just didn't realize his fame has already progress to the point where there a LeBrion IV! IV!! Seriously?!
