Fall 2010 Trade Showroom, Sole Tech, Number 73, by appointment only

Sole Tech made some of the best sneakers of the 90s including Raps and Sals. They popularized gum soles under brands Etnies and later éS. Then they transformed suede skate shoes into technical leather sportswear like the og Koston's, which are still untouchable.

Other notable models include the Sal 2's, Muska's, and Koston 2's.

Girly Jordan V

The fives are a top three Jordan, all time. The grey base makes that girlish pink really pop.

Hemp and Iron

Mixed texture composition, imported from Hong Kong, better than East End plimsoles.

Killer Kicks

There is something nice about gray and red, those colors bring out the best in each other.

Dude was really proud of the hole he had worn in his sole. I think it represents his commitment to riding fixed gear bicycles.

Red AF25s, Red Nets, Red China


At the Knicks\Nets game, or should I say Nets\Knicks game, I managed to sit next to a nice fellow who had traveled from China to cheer for Yi (and Nate Robinson (but we wont go into that)) and spend New Years in New York. It was cool, he had good energy and was knowledgeable about lots of stuff including sneakers.

Got Your Carbon Fibre Here

This ZX 8000 has that ultra modern color scheme and a heel cup molded from what looks like carbon fibre. These could be inspired by skis.
