2nd Annual N.C. Sneaker Summit Saturday November 21st Charlotte, NC

[ncsneakersummit]

I'm literally about to faint from being tired.

The turnout from the crowd wasn't what I had hoped for. But I thank everyone who came out, and everyone who participated as well.

I'm proud of what we all worked for,and the best thing that came out of it that many people told me they were able to network.

Thank you everyone from the bottom of my heart.

"Bush Man 202,"
Much respect man. You Rakim, I'm just trying to catch up! Nothing worth mentioning @ Fashion Ave in Durham on ride back. Made the "big" stopto Salisbury. I see nothing has changed!

"Air Ant23,"
In the great words of 'Bunk' from 'The Wire' (Season 5), "Shame on you, and I mean it."

Damn man, I would have paid your $5 just to get in. I jive owe you forlooking out on info when I took the fam down to Charlotte this past summer.

---

Real talk, I think I'm the only dude who got stopped at the door more than once, making sure everything was paid (walked out with 3 shoes, didn't seeanyone else buy more than 1-2 tops not from the $50 table).

Went in with $400, left with $16 and a happy man (someone still in debt with a seller, but I'll cover that asap

).

- Big shout out to Velocity Style (www.velocitystyle.com) for selling the black and white Dee Brown retros for$90. I will be supporting your store and pointing people to y'all! Special shout to the real "spacej23" from SC for texting me before I gotthere with the heads up.

@ pickyourshoes.com!

- Another shoutout to all them legit dudes from South Carolina, that "Team SC" crew. Any of you all need anything (Tyler will vouch my, er,"connects" I hate to say) just holla... with PATIENCE after EARLY REQUEST (repeat x one hundred, thousand, trillion). Banana Fudge shake fromCookout got y'all a free life discount pass with me! Jeah!

- To the female that was there (who also graced the cover of the flyer) you look just as awesome in person. I know its wack saying that online, but I'm ahappily married man with ring in tact 24/7. And approaching you to tell you that in person... These days... Just never know how it may be interpreted!

"Compliments" just can't be innocent and motive-freethese days with the opposite sex. Game has changed FTL.

- To Mr. NCSneakerSummit, I know I been busting your balls in this thread. But that's just me. Great event,organized, and I'll support every year guaranteed.

- And I gotta shout out DTLR, just cause! Hate the company (Levtran), love most of the people that work for the company (outside Bmore main office). Free "Gucci without thered" LRG hats

and multiple $50 gift cards for raffle were a goodlook, period.

@ majority in attendance in their KAZE "Fresh" but not buyinganything. Browsing can be done up the street at North Lake Mall, free of charge. Bammas! Dudes ain't pay $50/each for a table to not sell, and sellerswere being more than fair.

My pickups are nothing special, thus, a few pics I had to take while there (from BB curve, sorry for crappy pics)...

 

[bush man 2002]

Yea they def was some steals...was gonna cop some p-rods for the misses but she kept flip floppin so I copped some shirts for me and her...ill post them laterin the wk. Def would have liked to have stayed longer to do more networking with everyone but its cool.

 

[spacej23]

Minus people not being able to read a sign(do not TOUCH!), and people lowballin' mylowball prices, I had a good time. I would have loved to sell more than I did, which would have been nothing if my homey Kevin didn't buy anything(thanksa ton!), but I still had a good time nonetheless. I don't think I'd ever display again, but I definitely will come and show support.

Krooma - What's up?! It was cool talking to you and your homey.

Bush Man 2002 - I actually pointed you out to Kevin, but I stayed at my table themajority of thetime.

KT - Nice meeting you man. It sucks you didn't get as much traffic as you would like, but it wasstill a good time. One suggestion though...

Whenever announcements were being made, it was a little hard to hear.

All in all, great job. Can't wait for the next one.

 

[bush man 2002]

^damn homie I wish u would have spoke to me lol. I didn't know who was who besides Kev, my mans who had a table display on the further upper righttable(4got his name but see him in FA when I do swing thru) and my man Lemont who owns Kosmic Kickz...would have liked to have chopped it up more with thedifferent NTers there but its all good.

A lot of cats was just standing there just peeping out what u was wearing....INTERACT DAMNIT lol

If you weren't wearing "Gucci SBs" or Ye's, you weren't "doing it" with the majority.

It is what it is.

Until "we" go back to the way it was pre-2003--respect and love because you're buying/selling within the same circle--again, it is what it is. Mr. Steve Mullafraud and SOLE changed the culture for the worst. TRUST!

Dudes had heat (vintage AF1, classic runners, etc.) and it was like those items didn't exist on tables!

The fact that you see foams everywhere, and not ONE flightposite (TBs, Carbon Fibers, o.g. pearls, o.g. red/gray, SOMETHING) shows how the majority just followthe e-trend of coolness.

Shocked that no Bobcats sponsorship/giveaways was there. Coming from out of town, with NC being MJ town, and him being employed there in Charlotte, and havingJB athletes on the team. But I was impressed with all the Jordan collections on display, as expected...

 

[spacej23]

I was planning on initiating some dialogue with you when you walked to my table, but thatnever happened.

I figured you'd might make your way back around because I saw plenty of the same faces come to mytable over and over again, but I guess your girl wasn't having you staying very long.

I guess I should haveleft my table, but I didn't want to leave my table unattended for too long and I didn't want to leave my girl there solo.

I agree with you though. A lot of people were just silent looking dudes up and down. I was only able tohave a good conversation with just a few people because whenever I tried starting up some conversation, most would just look back with blank stares anddip.

 

[bush man 2002]

^I feel u

I would have liked some of the OG NTers from NC out to the summit (Blco02, Quadaffi, Ali, Cannibus2000bc...or something along those lines)....but I know thosecats are long gone from NT. Just me & Ant are the only OGs from the area lol.

 

[skots55]

[ouchrislitt]

I am salty that I missed this, but I was helping a friend move that day (and was also totally unaware this was even going on). Hadn't been to the regionalforums -- or NT in general -- in quite a while. Hope everyone had fun.
