Sneaker Pimps is an epic fail of a convention. I did score a few steals there tho. Got the uni  5s for 180. playoff 8s for 220 and de la soul low 220 all ds.

Y'all really aren't missing much.

I tried to go to a couple thinking maybe I just hit a few bunk ones but nah.. They're all the same. The unity just isn't alive in LA like you see in other states when they have conventions. I made a promise to myself that I would never go to another one... Unless it's some sort of NT Summit or something.

Ditto famb

It's just everyone selling and not buying, and most are wearing 2 different shoes and holding the other pair around their neck or something and selling only those pairs :smh:

I stopped going altogether already
 
I miss the days of Bar330 and shows like Sole Searching... buying tables for $100 with buddies and making connects...

Stopped going back in January 07, that was the last time I attended. I've wanted to go again for quite some time, seeing that flyer I think i'd attend... whatever happened to $5 admission though? :wow: :wow: :lol:
 
And it doesnt seem like ppl are impressed with the current conventions/tradeshows that are out. What do you guys look for when you attend?

honestly...just having a good amount of good people. a lot of these conventions have a bunch of hypebeasts trying to pawn off their GR stuff for an arm and a leg. I get that the sneaker culture has changed but its like everyone is all high and mighty. Like Cinco said, it was about meeting people and building connects and just sharing a common love of sneakers. It wasn't about making money. I remember I ran a buy one get one free deal at one of the Sole Searching events (I was pretty crazy looking back on it) but it was great.

A lot of times you get too many sellers and not enough buyers but not sure how to really change that. I guess it just goes to show that the sneaker culture isn't what it used to be and I really don't think these kind of events can make a big enough hit like they used to...especially out in SoCal.

just my .02
 
Anyone heading out tomorrow??

I may actually contradict my previous statement and make an appearance. Still undecided though.

Anybody go? Recap?


Im not involved in the thread like wish i could be but i wanted to put the word out and see if anyone would like to get involved. March 30th there is to be a sneaker buy/sell/trade show called sneaker swap 2013 going down at the scottish rite center in San Diego. from what ive heard ppl are tired of SD being overlooked so we're gonna bring the country to us like agenda and ASR use to and showcase our sneaker community and culture. If anyone would like to be involved let me know were looking for all the help we can get from all different types of minds. if you would like more details let me know. this isnt a one time thing were gonna plan and execute this maybe 2-3 time a year if all goes well. We want LA, OC, IE and more to be involved. ..thnx for reading guys

Down for this. I don't collect as much as I used to, but I'd def check it out.

Serious question, which one is legitimately worth going to? I have a bunch of shoes that need new homes, and I want to go to the most crowded one.
