Nah, I don't skate (I wish, but I can rollerblade =P)...I'm more of a shoe head (buying various Nikes, Jordans, etc.) that got caught up in Dunks and Nike's SB line...
But I met and hung out with a recently now-former pro skater through some friends of mine though (if that counts for anything =P)
fruit booter eh. nah, i skate and not really a sneaker head, i just rock what i get for free and thats about it. i haven't bought a pair of sneakers in like 5 years.
i used to have the utlimate hook up with the skateboard team manager at nike. i only met him once, we chilled, had some drinks, smoking some, and he started sending me new kicks once a week. i started feeling guilty so i emailed the guy and he cut me off entirely. big mistake!
now i have to wait til my boys are in town to get me some nikes, its sucks but i really did feel bad getting all those nikes for nothing....i'm a softie sometimes.
i gotta call someone to hook me up with a pair thats for sure. $100 for sneakers...maybe a $100 for a new macross toy but not kicks.
