Sneaker Con New York City Recap
Posted by Nick Engvall | Mar 2, 2009 Despite Mother Nature’s effort to discourage anyone from going outside of their homes, this weekend Sneaker Con went down in NYC.
A number of sneakerheads, and sneakerhead celebs came together to buy and sell dope kicks, kick it with old friends and make new ones, and maybe even head home with a new pair of grails in hand. Check out the photo recap of the event thanks to Phil Chang of FreshnessMag. |

I was there to keep it real the Venue was kinda small, but alot of people had some heat on their feet. Most of the Vendors had used kicks tho. That was wack, but I copped a pair of DS Venoms from the Sole Sirius table. Actually all their kicks were DS good look Sole Sirius for the free box of sneaker wipes too.

It was whack . A lot of people didn’t know what they were doing . I offered some kid my flints and dubz zeros for a pair of olypics not even near ds but I was desperate and he refused . But I bought a pair of cool grey 11s for 75 =D .
Mar 3, 2009 at 5:02 pm
lookd decent…lolz at dude wit tha bowlcut at tha top of page 3
Mar 3, 2009 at 3:26 pm
IDK this was my 1st
I got me a pair of 2000 retro 11 concords DS
From the Asian guy all the away on top of the page next to stash
I liked it because there were a lot of people rocking heat, oh and i meet sneakerqeekz but the spot was to small and there weren’t that many DS heat to buy… am just happy I got my 11s!
But I know dunk exchange is going to be bananas
Mar 3, 2009 at 11:06 am
glad I didn’t go, from all of this feedback.
mache, hit me back about them damn air maxs! haha
Mar 3, 2009 at 10:44 am
U guys are lame….theres a hot chick there n no one says anything???? yall suspect!
Mar 3, 2009 at 9:08 am
I have to admit, I was pretty miserable for the 10 minutes or so I was in there…I did a lap around, saw some alright kicks, but nothing I hadn’t seen before. The coarline dunks and the PE’s were tucked back in a corner where if you wanted to get a look at them had to push through the kids (and I mean kids literally) trying to peddle off their beaters or stare at my girlfriend’d rear end…and on top of that the venue was a bad choice for the amount of traffic that was to be expected there…..I was agitated from the get-go, so I just saw who I had to see there, pick up the kicks I was meeting up with someone to get, took a few pics with a few people who asked to take one w me then got the F out.
Mar 3, 2009 at 9:06 am
those people were obviously too busy looking ‘ cool ‘ to look happy.
Mar 3, 2009 at 8:48 am
and #17 big d yeah ur deffinately a rapist
Mar 3, 2009 at 8:48 am
not really into kick shows that just show nike and jordan. Some variety will be appreciated(by me at least) what happened to
K-Swiss? they come out with some hotness once in a while and adidas ain’t bad either maybe some Fila’s? There is heat out there and some of it doesn’t even cost a hundred dollars a pair.
Mar 3, 2009 at 8:21 am
yo nice kicks wats up with this u lettin all these hateful comments fly but i wish i could have been there
Mar 3, 2009 at 8:20 am
DARZAK is a racist…
Mar 3, 2009 at 8:12 am
I saw a few tables with some DS kicks but alot of ppl did have trash
Mar 3, 2009 at 8:08 am
I would’ve gone, but fear of the weather (and the NBA doubleheader) kept me inside.
Mar 3, 2009 at 7:36 am
wow nicekicks… Just reading this thread makes me wonder… What ever happened to the strict resepectful forum for us to show appreciation? Used, deadstock whatever… I personally buy kicks to wear & it would be dope for u guys to organize something in T.O. for heads in all price brackets

***DARZAK*** F your mother
Mar 3, 2009 at 1:13 am
those KAWS air max 90 currents and air forces are fiiiirrrreeee
Mar 3, 2009 at 1:12 am
I was there… and i mean u right it wasnt that good but definitely give em an A for effort….think about it… Dxc started off as a coulple guys who got jipped because they bought some fake dunks and contacted a couple more people, met up and exchanged kicks … no booths are anything… the guy just wanted some real official heat… now look at it… maybe the people doin this felt that there was a market for sneaker shows and put a hand out… this is what u call trial and error… i gotta feeling it will be better next year

LMAO @ how everybody noticing people looking like they need antidepressants. That was funny! But in the same breath, had everybody been smiling in the pics y’all would have said they looked suspect. SMH
