My blog is centered around my interests of sneakers and the "sneaker culture" I will be talking about the various aspect of the culture, places to buy these sneakers, people who wear them, when new shoes are coming out. My blog is made for everyone, but people who already collect sneakers will most likely already be familiar with most of things i will be posting, so i would say that anyone interested in learning more about the sneaker industry and it's followers, my blog is for you!

Space Jam Riot

The Air jordan "Space Jam" XI was first seen in the movie Space Jam starring michael jordan, a patent leather basketball sneaker that no one thought would sell. Patent leather on a basketball shoe? The results were quite the contrary, the space jam XI was a huge hit and sold thousands of pairs.

On December 23, 2009 The Space Jam XI was retrod (re released) for a retail price of $175.00. The anticipation of the release was clearly too much for some too handle. The picture above is of a footlocker in New York Completely torn apart after a small riot erupted when the store delayed the release of the shoe an hour.

As you can see, some people take their sneakers very seriously
