Seems to be a lot of talk about lately about sneakers and sneaker culture being ‘dead’ over the past couple of months…years?…whatever. Just a bunch of old heads like me complaining from our golden parachutes that things have changed and we don’t really like it. Surprise. It really reminds me of Nas saying ‘hip hop is dead’ in the most hip-hop way possible (by dropping a dope undeniable bop)…in which…anyone with half a brain knew that he didn’t ACTUALLY mean that hip hop was dead. It was merely his way of saying that something fundamental had changed for him…in which…anyone with half a brain knew that hip hop, had, in fact, changed.
