The approval process actually isn't quick for most of them anymore-unless my personal FB page is too family oriented lol.
IMO it just kind of speaks to the overall kick scene of the DMV in general. It exists and there are lots of sneads, but not a whole lot of cohesiveness, unity, or avenues to connect. I didn't like South Florida for much, but I can say the kicks scene was popping there and there was ALWAYS a way to be connected. There were lots of boutiques and koo people within the sneaker world and that's saying a lot for South Florida.
Anyway, I remember a time when the kick scene was poppin in the DMV-nike sample sale, NT meetups, and fun times...I'd love to see that recreated. We should start it here again. Besides Dino and the BaltSneakerShow I don't see it happening much anymore. Sneakercon doesnt count for me. Let's talk about this yall. Some of the koolest people I've met in the DMV are from NT. Let's build this thing up again so we don't always have to wait on a Facebook group to get a deal.
Just my $.02.
