Anivram Sneaker Art Showcase Recap: BROOKLYN WE GO HARD!!!

For those of you who listen to OSD often enough, you've heard the gripes from many of us in the crew about how hard it is to find a good sneaker event these days. Either it's "been there, done that", or "Why did they do that?" in most cases these days. So needless to say there's always the ambivalent feelings of hoping an event goes well, but on the other side of your mind you are not surprised if it does not.

WELL... That was not the case this past weekend (8/8/09) on a block in Crown Heights, Brooklyn as hundreds were in attendance. Props to Sam Robinson of Anivram for putting together a really good event with an enormous turnout. Some talented folks (from ALL OVER THE WORLD) had some good work on display, There was a live painting exhibition outside the gallery, and Female Sneaker Fiend's Pinkeye was also in the place reppin' for the Ladies. I appreciate her grind...She's everywhere these days! (See below)





Below are some additional images from the event...If you want more details or want to get involved with the next event contact Sam Robinson via email at: sam@anivram.com and she will be more than happy to work on showcasing your best offerings. Sam's goal is to do an event every month for the next few so give her a holla!








CONGRATS TO SAM ROBINSON (Below on the right) AND ANIVRAM for an outstanding 1st event!!!


WALK GOOD!

Anivram Sneaker Art Showcase Recap: BROOKLYN WE GO HARD!!!

Dominican Pride

We, as OSD, got word that Nike along with a few other sneaker companies are releasing sneakers that will highlight athletes from the Dominican Republic. It's always nice to see "cultural" sneakers being released. We'll have to wait to see what the likes of RBK, Adidas and others release this spring and summer.


Until then, Walk GOOD!

I love it when people get creative and think outside the box, because these days the sneakers that are being released are cookie-cutter-like and the sneaker companies are confused as hell. Think about it for a minute, walk into any Footlocker, Footaction, Finish Line or box store and you'll see alot of sneakers that will leave you scratching your head in digust and confusion saying to yourself, "Who dreamed up this color combination and use of materials?" Well, the answer may not be easy to figure out, but I'm sure there is a buyer out there who thinks they're fly and quickly breaks out the paper or plastic. Keep it movin' and good luck!
