In sneakerhead culture you’ve got at least 5 different groups. You’ve got the guys who’ll buy whatever, as long as they think it looks cool/is rare/costs a lot. Then you’ve got the die-hard Jordan guys. Then you’ve got the Nike guys. Then you’ve got the adidas guys. Then you’ve got the adidas superstar guys…
I’m in group 6. I’m a Vins guy. I don’t know what it is about the Vin. Perhaps it’s the clean shell. The tiny heel tag. The lack of the trefoil. The soft laces. Sure, I’m a fan of the Superstar overall (except SS2’s with the lame lace grommets), but there’s something about a nice pair of Vins. Promodel Vins included.
Today I’m wearing butterscotch coloured Vin promodels with red stripes. They’re fresh.
