Eric Oyama
Today is the first day we work as a family WILL you help a friend in need? Forget your new kicks for the weekend, the new fit your going to COPP this weekend. Forget your allowance, the money you got from MOM's for the weekend. We are going to SAVE someone's LIFE...TOGETHER we are going to help OUR friend ERIC OYAMA.
TODAY, we will be GIVING instead of taking, today we will be sharing instead of hoarding, TODAY we/YOU...will be saving a LIFE.
FORGET about shoes, FORGET about your cloths, FORGET about yourself...
STARTING today, if you are a sneaker head, if you have a HEART... you will be ASKED, you will be OBLIGATED to donate for the ERIC OYAMA fund.
We first met Betty when she dropped in the store with 6 pairs of air jordans to put for consignment, and not everyday you get a Mom bringing in shoes for their children. So we were dying to open the boxes to see what was inside, and it was all heaters, space jams, white cement 3s, 99 black/red 4s, etc. She said for us to price it to where they would move ASAP because she needed money fast to help her son, and thats when she told us the whole story. Her son is a huge sneaker collector, who collected jordans for a longtime so Betty and Eric made to choice to sell all his shoes to help fund his fight for cancer. Well, he sold all his shoes at our store, but he's still a lot short from what they need. $1, $2, $5, anything would help. Thousands of our supports hit our blog everyday, and we thank you, now if you can... help us support Eric Oyamas Fight Against Cancer.

Eric was a sports fanatic, more so with basketball. He played on several basketball leagues. He also coached a Women’s College Basketball League Team and coached a Little League Team. He enjoyed running as a form of exercise. He ran 9-miles a day, 7-days a week, rain or shine. In mid 2000 Eric was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Both Eric and his family were devastated. We were lead to believe that it had gone into remission upon the completion of his surgery and treatments. Almost a year and half later Eric found out the Cancer is still active because the surgery was not performed properly…the infected portion of his colon was not removed. Since then it has been an up and down battle. He had countless MRI’s, scans, transfusions, surgeries and chemo. Again his Cancer went into remission. The Cancer is back! Treatments only work if they are done consistently. He has no health insurance so all costs are out of pocket. There is no guarantee…life has no guarantees…there is only HOPE!! Cancer is the one thing in this world that does not truly discriminate. No matter your race, religion, sex…no matter if you are completely healthy and active…no matter whether you are young or old. Cancer can come into your life and turn it upside down. Please help Eric turn his life back up and give him hope. We are asking for your help to make a donation. We know that these are tough economic times, so know that no amount is too small and will be greatly appreciated.
We're not asking for everything you have, we're asking for ANYTHING that will help OUR friend Eric.
In the shop we will have a DONATION BOX...and ALL the staff will politely describe the situation at hand, and its up to you to dontate or not.
