Last night, Nice Kicks teamed up with ObsessiveSneakerDisorder to bring the first ever live sneaker awards ceremony, The Nice Kicks 2008 Kixpy’s Award Show. With some serious sneakerhead celebrities in attendance, the red carpet was so full of heat it took some of the big names a while to make their way in to the show. Some “1 of Nothing” kicks, along with some upcoming All Star exclusives were seen, even some kicks that “allegedly” changed color as one of the guests crossed the International Dateline to make it to the show. Once the red carpet emptied and the show began, some big surprises took place! As with as with most awards shows there was more controversy than a Jerry Springer Episode. The Jordan categories saw some OG colorways battle it out, along with some serious heat in the Best Collab, and Best Signature Shoe categories. While the Air Force 1 of the Year award was…well you’ll just have to read about it. Thankfully there was no e-stabbings or too much violence, but you can bet we’ll be stepping up the security for next years show. If you missed out on last nights show, you can hit up ObsessiveSneakerDisorder to catch the replay, as well as showideez.blogspot.com to see some of the virtual red carpet action. Now, on to the results of the Nice Kicks 2008 Kixpy’s Awards. |
BEST SKATE SHOE
Nike SB Dunk Low “Lobster”
The Best Skate Shoe of 2008 goes to the Nike SB Dunk Low “Lobster” editions. For their first collab with Nike SB, the Crew at Concepts in Boston went all out on the packaging and prep work of the Lobster Dunks, they were “Straight Butter” from the laces all the way down to the rubber band. Most definitely a Fresh Catch, along with the gear that dropped with it.
