Earlier today we showed you a nice recap of the first-ever Sneaker Con in Atlanta, GA, which went down at the Atlanta YMCA. Now that you’ve gotten a grip on the general atmosphere of the event, it’s time to lower your line of sight down to the feet because there was a ton of heat at this event! Just based on the summary of kicks we have for you above, you know the Dirty South came through with the best it had to offer as we saw a slew of Air Jordan madness like the Black Quai 54 and the sick collection of Nike Air-branded Retros, some great LeBrons like the upcoming Cork and the Hardwood Classic VII, and a nice collection of other brands seen in the Fingercroxxx x New Balance MT580, Reebok Kamikaze II Rain Camo, and the Solebox Allergras. End your day with this great recap of Sneaker Con Feet below, and keep your calendar marked February 2nd as Sneaker Con will touch down in Miami, FL.

If you criticize people people for what shoes they wear or how they do up there laces your not a sneakerhead at all, You're an idiot. People have different opinions on how things look better or how they feel. And who cares if people pay a lot for there shoes, There obviously rare if they cost that much. People have different jobs and earn different wages so shut up. Just because you can't afford them you're jealous that someone else has them not you.
@theaaronwilkinson Amen bruh. Everybody has their own swag n shit. These cats are over here hatin on each other, over SOMEONE else's kicks. DO YOU! If you ain't feelin the kicks or the way they're laced, then stfu and keep it #movin.
@CLOUDN9NETY @theaaronwilkinson I couldn't agree more the only thing I hate is squares trying to "police" ones style for norms. I'm anti-establishment and when I rock casual clothing I look that way. if someone wants to choke the life out of their kicks, I really don't give a fuck. Personally, I only retort when people bitch about what's "proper" and make assumptions about income and education level, and 9 out of 10 times its a barista from Starbucks or the type of aloof douche that works in a soho clothing store. They've some how convinced themselves that they are better than everyone else, bitching about the way people spend their money and rock their kicks. Claim to be sneakerheads, but are against individuality. LMAO
I hate : the lace lock from 6s on the first loop thing and these people rock thunder and lightning ohh so gay, and shitty dressers, can't match
@a215m30 haters gon hate
There is one of the guys that paid $2,500 for Sneakers! (Lebron X Corks)... how embarrassing!
I didn't see any Kilroy packs or anything like that just Foams 'Brons and other J's where'd they go?
I'm sorry but unless your name is Marc Jacobs you really shouldn't rock those laces.
@damruff Lol

@4U2NV I really hate fuckin lames that try to whiten up Hip-Hop. If you wanna rock lame ass choked kicks that 's your cornball ass business & I suggest you stick with some doc martens. This is Hip-Hop and your a tourist if you don't understand the way we "ROCK" kicks. This is the same type of asshole that says shit like "why do you have your baseball cap tipped to the side?" "Why are you wearing work boots as causal wear?" Here's a question "IF YOU DONT KNOW WHY... WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE POSER?" When in Rome respect what the Romans do or go back to the fuckin burbs or self-hatingville TAKE YOUR PICK.
@IgotthatFIRE @4U2NVSo to be a sneaker head u could only listen to hip hop? Fuck outta hear. "whiten up hip hop" U sound like a fuckin retard.
@sneakpeek22 @MartinD44
Yeah... because you're an idiot. :-)
@MartinD44 this comment made my day! Add me on instagram lol blakeweez
@Shock @IgotthatFIRE @4U2NV go suck a dick wtf r we gonna whitenup everey body blackinup hiphop kicks the best u gay fuck
@MartinD44 @Shock You know, I really don't like to call people stupid. But Damn, you push the line of idiocy. Did you actually "read" my any of my post completely? Or did you just skim through and reply to what you "thought" I said? Quite obvious its the latter . I'm going to repeat this one more time. SNEAKERHEAD COUTURE IS HIP-HOP, You don't have to listen to hip hop to be influenced by hip hop, you don't have to be a skate board kid to rock skater fashion you don't have even listen to Rock or even like Rock to wear a Led Zeppelin tee. BUT RESPECT ITS ORIGINS..... PLEASE I INVITE TO TO QUOTE ME VERBATIM. WHERE I said THE WORDS "YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO HIP-HOP TO BE A SNEAKERHEAD". Clearly, you dreamt that I said that. As matter of fact why don't you do this. Start READING from the VERY BEGINNING of this thread. With my reply the bigoted and or self-loathing cum stain 4U2NV. READ, then COMPREHEND what the conversation is about THEN get back to me. OTHERWISE, if you can't do that....... SIT AT THE KIDDIE TABLE!
@IgotthatFIRE @Shock
Bro you're not the sneaker police. Anyone can listen to whatever they want, and wear whatever they want. You can have your opinion about someone who rocks Js and a rollingstones t-shirt or something thats not a badge of hip hopness, and you can be angry at them. But then how pathetic are you???? You go around judging people's style, and type all angry about it??? Let's face it, if you're commenting on here you're a sneaker nerd. I am too, but actual hip hop heads??? The dudes that actually make the music and live the life???? They could care less about wasting their time commenting on a little sneaker article. So don't act like you're the authority on hip hop culture. I doubt you say anything to any of these people you're judging in your mind anyways. If you do?? Thats just as pathetic! Bro, ITS NOT COOL TO WALK AROUND ANGRY AND LOOKING FOR REASONS TO JUDGE PEOPLE. YOU ARE A HATER, AND DEEP DOWN THAT MEANS YOU GOT ANGER PROBLEMS. Get a therapist bro! I found my love of Js in the basketball world when I was 12 or 13, not the hip hop world. I listen to all sorts of music: Mainstream hip hop to some of the lesser known underground heads that came up during the 2000's, classic rock, 90's rock, classical music, and I love my motown, and the list goes on. If you know anything about hip hop, motown and classic r & b are heavily sampled, so obviously these hip hop heads don't only listen to hip hop. Do they stop wearing their Js when they have on a led zeppelin t shirt??? NO! If they're travelling and listening to music on their ipod, DO THEY TAKE OFF THEIR Js the minute a non hip hop track comes on???? NO. Make the world a better place, and dump your negativity down the toilet. Respect different people, and their differing opinions, and don't judge them if they don't think EXACTLY like you. THATS IT
@Shock
Once again, I have too educate a youngin. Sneakerhead couture is Hip-Hop. One cannot be separated from the other. I don't care if you listen to Hip-Hop or not. If you wear Jordan's, Foamposites, Air Force ones, Adidas, New Balance, Asics, Saucony etc... bottom line if you keep your kicks clean and boxed and dawn them each time as if going to a movie premier... that's Hip-Hop. Ya'll making me laugh, all the sudden these dudes give a fuck about their sneakers when not long ago they were "Kurt Cobaining" them up, getting them as grungy as fuck. Rockin shit LEANING ,TALKING, LMAO. Look I don't care that after 20 years suddenly, every hipster asshole a sneaker connoisseur. Just fess up to what it is dude ...it's HIP HOP. That like me wearing a CBGB's tee trying to claim it's not Rock or wearing Supras and saying its not Skater. I lived in the hood, the burbs and abroad, So I know what it is, and apparently you want to act like this thing just came out of thin air. Just keep it 100.
@IgotthatFIRE @4U2NV Wow, what an illogical mood-swing. lol. LAME!
@IgotthatFIRE Funny, I saw u running like a bitch the other day.....
@4U2NV@caseyflinders
So I'm "ghetto and violent" because I use "slang"? LMAO those are the type of missives that can only come from pseudo intellectual, cocksucking, hipster fanooks (likely wearing jeggings, a rocketeer backpack & pumas... the kind you could easily see a bitch in) Let's just run with your premise that I am SUPER THUG. If I'm so low in the food chain, why is it everyone of you scatter like vermin in conflict? As a matter of fact, just walking down the street... Ya'll have your head down, tail tucked in between your legs can't even look a man in the eye. Yeah, your body language is SO MUCH LOUDER than your rhetoric. Truth hurts? ;-)
if you don't think those OG 1988 white cement 3s are the best shoes here you a not a real sneaker head i own yeezys but fuck the yeezy 1s and 2s the OG 3s r dope as fuck and that guy has balls for wearing them if you don't agree your most likely a hype beast
@littleacker09
Your just as bad as the hypebeasts for trying to compartmentalize the shoe game. Nobody elected you Kick Czar. If you love OG 3's that much, cool. They're dope kicks. But not everybody has to fall in line with you. You are what's wrong with the shoe game nowadays.
@littleacker09 sooooooo u apparently own yeezy's and if we dont agree wif u then we're the hypebeasts?? the 3's r nice but i wouldn't say they r the best here
@littleacker09 I don't even OWN any Jordans, let alone think they were the best. Then again, i'm not african-american so im not forced to purchase every single same old retro of the same Jordan that releases in order to be cool in my culture. I'm free to wear anything from Puma up to Vans! Like a TRUE 'sneakerhead'. I wonder if ya'll be collecting the same old Jordans in ANOTHER 30 years time. Man hasn't played a game in forever. Move on?
@caseyflinders @littleacker09
How does being black mean one midlessly collects Js only? That was a stupid comment guy, and I'm white. If you don't like Js, then leave your ignorant comments to yourself, and be happy that you're able to cop your shoes with ease.
@caseyflinders @littleacker09 what does being african american or not have to do with liking Jordans? I'm of that race and don't go googly eyed over retros I like vans and chucks too not just nikes the kids at my school the majority are black but they rock adidas puma any shoe out there so b4 you start praising you and your "culture" maybe you should go tour my city nd see that the majority don't all wear jordans
@JFresh_136@caseyflinders
I respect your words bro , but don't waste them on a bigoted piece of shit like caseyflinders. This is the type of racist douche that trolls forums because he's still bitter about his girl getting ass-fucked by a 6'4 black dude. Just call him out for the bitch made dude he is and move on.
@caseyflinders
A "TRUE Sneakerhead" respects all shoes. By way of this post, you're not one. You sound angry. Why are you mad? Can you not afford J's, or are you just racist?
@littleacker09
My dude, if you look, that post was for caseyflinders not you. The post for you is below it.
@Jutsu Jones @caseyflinders lol racist? i have jordans don't worry about me I'm just saying those r so clean and if u are a jordan fan ( ill correct myself) those are un doubly the best there OG and I've never herd of someone were OG 3s before because they fall to pieces in a matter of time so i give tis man respect
dat nigga in the thunder nd lightning 4's needs to die immediatly the lightning is yellow nd navy blue -___-
@GreedyEaly
u obviouly dont kno ur jordans sir...
Blink Yeezy jordan 4s. Period.
@heat_meiser That was me lol
@JevonMitchell they're dope man, the soles look perfect. Do they glow? Who did em?
@heat_meiser Yes they glow and I did
Damn, I wanna shoot myself in the foot for passing up those citrus XI's lows! 12 years ago. I saw them on the fuckin clearance rack! Shorty is killing it! HEAT
@IgotthatFIRE maybe you didn't like them at first when you saw them but anyway that's gotta hurt that you passed them up bro
@JFresh_136
Yeah hurts bad, they were only 85 bucks! But passed on them cause the blue snake XI's were my priority. I was low cash as fuck back then and could only get one pair at a time, smh. My closest luck recently was to cop DS 96 Carolina XI's. I doubt lightning will strike twice... one can only hope.
im not a fan of yeezys but this kid on page 3 already scuffed them up a bit... im all about wearing ur kicks but at least take care of them especially if u spent a good amount of cash on them
@turt123 He might of got them for retail. And one could say that he is a REAL 'sneakerhead' for wearing his kicks, and not keeping them in a closet scared to get a mark on them so then they wont be as valuable to sell one day. Its like he thinks shoes are for wearing on your feet or something?!?!
@caseyflinders did u read wat i posted?? im all about wearing kicks i rosck mine all the time but at least try and take care of them instead of havin them look beat up and lookin like shit thats just not a good look i dont care wat kicks ur rockin
@turt123 You should see the ppl with real nice kicks they spent good money on and two weeks later their blacker than asphalt
