I'm counting the days until sneaker appreciation goes the way of the import car scene and breakdancing after "fast and the furious" and "you got served"

Out of all the customizers they could talk to, they chose C2 and Jor One? No offense to them, but ah...

Please tell me you've seen C2's work...

I doubt many people will join the site because of an article in Time.

ISS has their OWN magazine, not just some small article in it
yeah...a magazine and it's associated "sneaker contests" that have helped to further bastardize this hobby into some ridiculous business.

exactly, its like what blazinjkid said...steve of iss is the puff daddy of the "game" he whored it out so badly...mags and comps? how corny is that...

i remember steve before he blew up and he would come here asking about starting a business around 02.....when he finally got iss up he bought an nt'er named "Pat" whole collection since Pat was retiring...dude had quite possibly one of the greatest jordan collections ever, i still have all his old pics on my old pc....anyways pat had the low top metallic blue air jordan 1's...and steve puts em up for 9 g's on iss...thats seriously messed up, cant knock the hustle but its obvious which side steve is on as to whether its for the love or money...

anyways glad to see nt has gotten some nat'l shine even thoug this isnt the first time and hopefully its good publicity, im just really sick of these clueless journalists making sneakerheads look like clowns...even though dude deserved to look like a joke after saying "sneakers run my life" and "without shoes i dont exist"

didnt see someone post the whole thing so here it is.

Quote:
By 9:35 on a recent Friday night, Dominique Thomas had been camped outside the Niketown store in South Miami for two full days. Thomas, who goes by the street name DK the Line Pimp, had flown in from Denver and was first in line to buy the $100 Cowboy Air Max 180s, which were scheduled to go on sale at 10 that night. Just 140 pairs of these limited-edition sneakers--a hunter green, lizard-skin design with a light pink Swoosh--were manufactured, and they would be sold only at the Miami store and only that night. As a snaking line of mostly young men waited for the doors to open, Thomas, 21, reflected on how much getting the shoes meant to him. "Shoes run my life," he said. "Without shoes, I don't exist."The hot resale market online and in sneaker consignment shops like New York City's Flight Club can make flipping shoes a lucrative side job. Laurent Touma, 31, a financial consultant in Miami, says he makes $1,500 a month buying and selling Nikes and Adidas on eBay, where an original Air Jordan I in metallic blue, which retailed at $65 in 1985, sold for $2,001 in January. "In the vintage business, the sneaker has become like a Rolex," says Touma. As with the watches, counterfeits are rampant, so sneakerheads pitch in on sites like niketalk.com to study pictures posted online to help identify fakes.

Customized sneakers are a hot part of the market. Jordan Price, a graffiti artist based in Brooklyn, N.Y., better known as Jor One, creates unique designs that sell for as much as $1,500 a pair. Price's streetwise styles, which have been featured in "Sneaker Pimps," a traveling exhibit of rare and vintage shoes, include a pattern of cigars and 40-oz. beer bottles, whose labels read, WE SELL TO MINORS & DRUNKS. While Price, 26, uses a paintbrush, Chris Hui, a high school sophomore in Milwaukee, Wis., has gained a national reputation for applying unusual materials such as carbon fiber to sneakers, an idea he got after he saw the flexible composite on the hood of a car. Hui, who goes by the name C2, is something of a celebrity at his school for customizing shoes for people like NBA star LeBron James. Despite his fame, Hui, 16, admits that at heart, he is just another sneakerhead. "Once I get the money," he says, "I always put it back into the shoes."
