On The Feet Of New York: VIBE's Weekly Kick Picks

We're back at it for this week's edition of VIBE Kick Picks.

Last night, we hit up G-Shock's 30th anniversary—where Eminem stopped through with a dope surprise performance!—and the kick game was definitely proper. From there, we headed out to Drom over in the Lower East Side, where Theophilus London was as comfortable in the crowd as he was onstage.

We saw some really exclusive sneakers on our late night journey, so let's get into the first sneakerhead below:
