Any sneakerheads on this site ?
I know sneaker culture is HUGE............... people spending all kinds of time/money to seek out holy grails.
I've got "kinda" a sneaker problem, a little over 100 pairs.
Recent changes of work have forced me to take a step back.
But recently I picked up a few holy grail sneakers.
1991 Dee Brown Pumps
Bo Jacksons Air Trainer SC (OG color way)
and Air Tech Challenge II
Anybody here even know that these are ? lol

Thankyou. I now know how I sound when I talk arcade machines to people who know nothing about them.....I'm enlightened and humbled

Don't think I've had Roo's since I was a kid.
Don't even recall seeing them around to be honest.
I know Pony made a lil push years ago, but never really saw many people rocking Pony.
A buddy of mine has a few "spots" he goes to. He just got his girl some Air Tech Challenge II (one of my favorite sneakers EVER!) for $32 !!!
I was upset........I would have got 4 pairs for that. Two for the wife two for the daughter !
These are the Pumps ! They date back to 1991.
Really glad to have these in my collection.
And these are the Air Trainer SC..............Bo Knows !
Love these sneakers !
And then I got these for Christmas !
Nike Toki leather.

I guess this adds to me being a shoe whore.
But I got another pair of Pumps on Tuesday.
This Reebok Pump design goes back to 1991! Retro Gold !

My spot for a long time has been SVP sports.
However one of the sales rep told my buddy they lost a contract with Nike.
So they cant sell Nike footwear........that is a HUGE hit.
EDIT - I emailed SVP today. As per the response my buddy was given they still sell Nike footwear. I asked for some clarification, is it golf and soccer shoes only ? Or will they still carry from the full Nike line.
I'm waiting on the response.
http://svpsports.ca/
My NEW spot which is decent is Todays Sportswear.
That is wear I got the pumps.
It is a lot like SVP, but I'd say slightly more expensive.
For example @ SVP Puma sneakers are average $40, at Todays they are $50. And if you are into NEW ERA fitted hats no better place that SVP with prices as low as $10-20 vs $35 and up @ other retailers.

Another place I like is the Nike outlet @ Vaughan Mills. I've got some good buys there. This holiday season I found they were a little expensive. But in the past they have been solid !
Part of this shoe fixation I have is to always be looking. Pop into the stores any mall trip and see what you find. Even when SVP had Nike, you could go @ times and leave with 6 pairs (which I have), other times you'd be hard pressed to find one good pair.
SVP no doubt was the best. Nike Dunks (which is very close in styling to the Air Jordan 1) were available at times in various styles for as little as $40.

That box is INSANE.
I just read that he is getting BOMBARDED by people wanting one.
I was hoping that perhaps a detailed built thread existed. (I'm unsure)
I'd love to know if it was all hand painted or is it vinyl stickers, etc.

Two more pairs of Bo Jackson's (Air Trainer)...........two more fights.
About 14 new pairs added to the collection since X-Mass.
I really need to stop !
I don't know what would make the wife happier........more shoes, or more arcade stuff.... Well actually, I do know.......... none of either.
But I could not resist these classic pairs.
I saw @ Winners today they had Pony sneakers. That is a true blast from the past.
I was turned onto a site by my buddy, NRML.ca ----- %40 off some new release sneakers. Good price, fast shipping, all around good site.
But the site I like most now is @theclosetinc .
They are a retail location in Chatham. I've bought 5 pairs from them in the last month and probably sent about 10 or so customers to them.
Some really amazing pricing & free shipping.
Think some people on the site live out the way if anyone has any info/thoughts on the store. That info would be good.
