UPSO X Kicks-Tix (TLK)

On November 9th we had a table during Air Canada Center’s (ACC) first Kicks-Tix Sneaker event, presented by FootLocker. Shout out to Toronto Loves Kicks for the assist on getting a table fairly last minute. Although it was a buy, sell and trade sneaker driven night, part of being fly is completing the kit. Needless to say the event was really dope, and it was interesting to see how big the sneaker community has gotten, and sharing history and stories on the sneaker culture we all love, all in the NBA’s Toronto Raptors front door.

Dwyane Wade Explains The Evolution of His Li-Ning Shoe

I’m not going to front,I definitely questioned Dwyane Wade’s decision to leave Jordan brand. Especially after I saw the shoe. It took some time for it to sink in and grow on me. I’m feeling the shoes now, it happened after I saw the Christmas shoe, and the all black upper with the clear blue outsole. It’s also nice to see leather on basketball shoes again. I’d love to see a suede pair of the Way of the Wades Li-Ning!
