SneakerPimps Chicago 2010 - Recap

Over the weekend, SneakerPimps rolled into Chicago with a “back to the essence” feel that only this kind of event could achieve. Live music mixed with previews of upcoming sneaker releases from Nike and Jordan Brand really set the tone for a great evening. Couple that with the dope game station set up by NBA Jam and a few drinks, and you’ve got yourself a grood Saturday night.  Some of the highlights for women's footwear in 2011 include new colorways of the Nike Gladiator sandal, as well as the use of sexy satin on the Nike Air Royalty Mid (will be updating with pics later, camera is being a wuss).

Among the musical guests keeping the crowd hype were Phil Ade (check out his mixtape The Letterman here) and PayPa of Project Mayhem, as well as Chicago’s own Mikky Halsted and GLC (G.O.O.D. Music!!!).  Special Guest and Wu-Tang capo Raekwon was also in the building and ended the night on an awesome note.  I had a great time catching up with sneaker friends and fam – I look forward to many more sneaker-friendly events in the city. Special shoutout to  Sergio for the pics on behalf of the Sneakherbox team.  Check out all the pics belowzies J
