SNEAKER STORE SPOTLIGHT: JD SPORTS

Being a Sneaker Fiend over 20 yrs, I've come across many hidden gems.  From mom and pop stores to slept on sneaker chains, JD Sports is a great combination of both.  Located in the UK, I've been a consumer of theirs for a couple years now.  

I was recently asked to select an item to try out from the store and I chose Nike Air Max 1. Introduced in 1987, the Air Max 1 has been a favorite of Sneaker Fiends like myself which made my choice a no brainer. Air Max's are one of the most comfortable silhouettes that Nike makes and always stylish as far as the colorway goes.  The package arrived a little over a week from the order date, a big plus knowing about international shipping horror stories that has taken a month or more.

One thing that JD Sports offers are "only at JD" items, which are items that are exclusive to store. Some Sneaker Fiends like to have "exclusives"......still getting the joy of being asked "where'd you get those?!". Another handy lil tidbit being a buyer of international stores, JD has one of the lowest international shipping charges.  

With Christmas around the corner, check out JD Sports.  The website is easy to navigate and if you're in the UK there's several retail locations.  There's something for everyone from sneakers to apparel & accessories and you'll get your package in time for the holidays.

Sneaker Pimps DC

Got to love an event that this is the first thing you see...

Some of the custom work displayed @ Sneaker Pimps is extremely labor intensive. Fee's adhd won't let her color, but props to this piece's designer.

Imani repping Artistic Sole and Art Whino preps the palette for a sneaker themed canvas. Not only does she do sneakers and canvas, she also tattoos in DC @ Pinz n Needlez. The girl gets BUSY!

Imani's finished work for the evening...not bad for a semi lit area in under 3hrs huh ; D

Latin Quarters in DC

Admiral Womens from the DC Life Collection

One of their most classic silhouettes the Admiral is back and in full effect for us ladies. As far as I know these are the only in two colorways and they are set to release later this fall. The blue ones look better than the black ones but all in all not really feeling them. It feels like something is still missing from the design.

DC's own Artistic Sole

Artistic Sole aka Imani (in tan skirt) and her crew. Yes the guy in the red bucket is holding NOT only a FSF flyer, but also Fee's business card. FSF-we hu$tle hard!
Imani's "Mad Decent" customs. She also crochets so she hooked up an ankle cuff to match.

Fee spies Stevie Wonder on this pair of customs even the blind could see

Loved these for the color use and gradient work. Big 3 sneaker companies- this is how they should look!
Fee dubbed these the "Gone Nuts" customs because of the words inscribed on em.

Soleism DC is tomorrow!

Don't miss the public launch of Artistic Sole along with Bobbito, DJ Roddy Rod and many more!
