The world is just awesome.
One of the most epic pictures of myself ever taken.
I’d do me.
I met a college friend from out of town for brunch today. After telling him about a sneaker shop in Boston that looks like a working grocery from the street (that I discovered via tumblr, of course), I got inspired.
We were going shoe shopping, I decided. Or as he later called it, “the gayest day ever.”
We went to the following clothing/sneaker shops in a few hours:
- Alife - my favorite of the bunch, they had the most helpful staff and the best looking shoe display; Alife gets new shipments about every week, so it pays to make repeat visits
- The Reed Space - they’ve got a lot more than just kicks; also a great layout for their shoes, books, mags and gun-shaped vases
- Dave’s Quality Meat - sneaks were good, staff was a bit cold
- John Varvatos - the store that used to be where CBGB’s was; say what you will, this place could be a bank! Very helpful staff and lots of overpriced clothes to admire from afar
- Classic Kicks - nice shop, but I didn’t really find much I liked… as opposed to my friend, who had the opposite problem
Bodega (The Boston shop) is one of my favorite places…although you went to some very different stores with very different sneakers. I’d be interested in knowing what your style is and what kind of shoe you are looking for (unless you found something) maybe I can help out?
also, sneaker shopping is not gay.
They did it right.
MacBook - thin enough.Haha, this is great and not just because this is my computer as well.
This looks really interesting
my friends at sweaty robot have made a feature! cameos by myself, elaine, and matt. enjoy the trailer…
Kia I signed this months ago, I am willing to pay any amount of money Nike wants for these.
After seeing Kia and everyone else go nuts over the upcoming FBSB’s (Ferris Bueller Skate Boards), thought I’d direct everyone to the actual Marty McFly Nike 2015 petition.
If I could throw the old John Hancock down on this over and over again, I would.
Casey Donahue! Where are you? Sign this now! I don’t even know if I would actually wear these, as I have a fat, fat leg. But I fully support their existence and availability.
I open the itunes store to see the new releases for today, and I see 2 Michael Giacchino scores (LOST season 3, and Speed Racer)
I am so very excited for the day now.
