Sneakerpimps x DXC Recap

This past weekend we had the pleasure of attending the Sneakerpimps x Dunkxchange Los Angeles show.  There was PLENTY of buying/selling/trading going on at this event and it was a very good sight to see.  The sneaker culture of Los Angeles has proven it is up to par to any other city in the country.



We were even able to shoot hoops at the event.

Everyone came out with a TON of heaters, below you can see what one person brought in to sell, and this wasn't even a vendor. 

The good people of Sole Restorer were in attendance, these guys are the best in the game when it comes to restoring yellowed soles.  Later this week we will be posting some of the before and after pictures of some restorations they did for a few personal pairs of RIF employees.  It was nice to see you guys and chop it up as usual.

 Here's a few close-ups of their amazing results.

2000 Columbia 11's

Speaking of sneaker restorations, Air Legends was in attendance too.  If you have not heard of them, they are leading the sole-swap game and for good reason: their work is bar none.

Whenever this would happen to anyone's 1999, 2000, or 2001 Jordan retros it was almost a CERTAIN death sentence for the shoe to be put away forever..

But now they can literally give LIFE back to your crumbled sneakers, be sure to hit them up for all your sole-swap needs.

The homies Jason, Justin, and Justin B at Deniro's table, nice to see you all as well!

Deniro was holding down his table, with the #SGFU x RIF tee on display as well.

Back at the shop, Kikcrazy was rocking some custom Nerf Foamposite Pro's

Can you guess who was rocking some baby sized Flint 13's?

She was a bit camera shy, but it was RIF's poster child Shayla Rae looking steezy as always!

Overall, it was an extremely successful event and it was certainly a pleasure to see everyone there!  Until the next Sneakerpimps or Dunkxchange, have a blessed week folks.
