DUNK EXCHANGE SNEAKER BATTLE, MIAMI 2008.... REVIEW

Sneakers and fly kicks have always been a staple in Hip Hop culture. From Bally Competitions to Spot Builts, Lotto's, 15 humdred New Balance, Gucci kicks, Dunks, Bubble Air Max, Asics, Saucony and of course the Run Dmc Addidas. But the list is non stop.

The love of sneakers was evident at Miami's dunk exchange snekaer battle on Sunday June 22, 2008. The placed was packed from wall to wall with sneaker fanatics of all races and ages. The competition was high as heads came through in majority sporting NIKE official foot wear. It was definitely a heavy presence of classic even vintage Air Jordans in the building. Mr. Jordan himself would have been proud.

From the custom designed kicks to the original NIKE manfactured types the colors were banging. I mean people literally came out in style as it relates to foot wear. It was definitely a sight to see. The sneaker culture is big and will only get bigger as sneaker lovers will continue to embrace new styles and designs for tomorrows fashion world.

As I walked around the event snapping photos of the banging kicks on display, the crowd was thick. Attendees was making their way back and forth toting multiple pairs of kicks with the purpose of going home the winner.

With a atmosphere filled with the hottest sneakers on and off the market, Thirstin Howl The 3rd and Rack-Lo (all the way from Brooklyn NY) took the stage and blessed the crowd with some Hip Hop gems. Rack-Lo even served as a judge in the sneaker comptition as well.

As far as the battle goes it was surprising because many females came out to represent. And when they came to the stage they definitely put in work. Some of the females did outdo some of the dudes kick wise and that's just the truth. But, beyond just NIKE being represented, XMAS APE came through with the classic filo cream tennis joints with the RL 2000 shoes. Those were in a class by themselves.

Also to top it off the DJ played nothing but that great ole mind blowing classic Hip Hop. That type of music set the scene so well as heads were in a trance. This event was on point and many elements of Hip Hop was repped. Graf Writers blazed canvasses creating murals that were candy to the eye. It was a good day and MIAMI came out represented and put it down. Now the world knows that MIAMI too got sick kick game.

Look for the next sneaker battle coming soon as DUNK EXCHANGE takes it to Boston. See you there! And make sure your kicks are classic!
SHOUTS OUTS:

Big up to Mi Gente Clothing, Dunk Exchange and all of the sponsors for putting on an outstanding event. Safe, what up kid? Keep doing your thing. Also to Skillionaire recording Artists Thirstin Howl The 3rd, Rack-Lo, Grieco and Box-Lo.
