Twice a year sneaker aficionados set their egos aside and get together to showcase their wares (and wears) at the only sneaker collector convention in the country founded by Antonio Aguirre, Jr. What started out as a small group has grown into a bona fide avenue for almost everyone in the scene to exhibit and share what they have while having fun. (which to me is the most important thing)
I know I raise a lot of eyebrows whenever I feature Sole Slam on my site but you know what? The joke is on all the haters who thought they could divide the sneaker community by using this event for their own benefit and making it seem like they are better than the next collector. I deal with one person and one person only and so far we both agree that there's only one direction that we should all take.
FORWARD!
