Boston gets a Sneak Peek into the Sneaker Museum

 

Unbeknownst to many of us, Boston has been home to one of sneaker culture's biggest Jordan collectors. You won't find him on ebay (or even online), but if you're a local vendor, you probably know the guy. “Putting this collection together over the last 26 years has been a labor of love. It’s been a joy to see sneaker culture grow and evolve over the years,” said Sneaker Museum founder Rick Kosow. “Our team is building the Museum so that we can give back to that community and share our mutual love for this wonderful tradition of history and design.”

Sneak Peek X.X.XII. will feature curated exhibitions from the Sneaker Museum’s vast collection,   highlighting a breadth of artifacts from the first decade of the Air Jordan brand, including sneakers, fashion and other related collectibles, along with original artistic works riffing on Jordan’s legacy and influence on culture.

The event will also specifically showcase Year I Air Jordan kicks, “Space Jam”/Warner Bros. collectibles, and rare 1992 Olympics Dream Team merchandise, along with a fashion show featuring vintage Jordan apparel with multimedia work by videographer Dillon Buss, photography by Zacharie Lanoue, sculpture by Pat Peltier and graffiti by Ricardo Gomez.

The Museum will also host a raffle for a vintage 1990 Jordan poster to raise money for Sneakers 4 Success, a nonprofit organization that uses sneaker culture, urban lifestyle, and design to empower and motivate underrepresented youth toward academic success.  All raffle entrees will receive a VIP invitation to the Sneaker Museum’s official launch party, and anyone wearing their J’s will get a free raffle ticket.

Shoezeum Open in Las Vegas

So you think you have a huge sneaker collection?  Well you have nothing on Jordan Michael Gellar, the founder and owner of Shoezeum, the newest museum in Las Vegas. Inside there are over 2,500 pairs of never worn Nike sneakers. Shoezeum has over 7,500 square feet of sneakers and numerous themed exhibits ranging from movies to music to the Olympics.  

According to Gellar, the idea for the Shoezeum was almost fate.  First there’s his name, Jordan. Then there was his association number when he studied for the bar exam: 234523. Hmmmm, sound familiar? All of the signs took him in a new direction, and the Shoezeum was born. 

If you want to check out the Shoezeum on your next trip to Las Vegas, the hours of operation are from 4 p.m. to midnight each day and admission is just $10. For more info, check them out at facebook.com/shoezeum
