Michael Jordan at Nike Town

Michael Jordan paid Nike Town a visit today. It was his first visit since 1999. In the building also, was non other than “The Architect” himself, Tinker Hatfield. The visit was a chance for Michael Jordan fans to hear a few words from his “Airness,” with a little Q&A mixed in. After the show, those in attendance had a chance to purchase a pair of the Jordan Grape V’s. And of course, since it’s one of the most sought after shoes as of late, there was a good deal of chaos. Tinker Hatfield also stayed to sign boxes, shoes, retro cards, books, and posters, while fellow designer Mark Smith was in attendance to talk to press. I’m sure those who stood outside for long hours definitely deserved what they waited for. Image/Info: Crooked Tongues

Chris Gibbers - The Buyer, NYC street influencer

This video isn’t just for all the sneaker heads out there, although it does make you feel ok for your addictions. The video is directed by Jake Davis who was voted MTV’s student visionary film maker, and he does an excellent job at portraying the sneaker culture. Chris Gibbs takes us through the life of a “buyer” and what exactly that is all about. The video talks about this generations staple as sneakers and everything about them. It explains some terms that might not be familiar with us all like “parallel buying” for example. So for anyone who has the smallest interest in kicks definately check out the video. I don’t want to give away everything the video talks about… so just go watch it already. Watch the video here.
