On the Feet of New York! VIBE's Weekly Kick Picks: The SoHo Edition

April 13, 2012 - 8:15 pm by VIBE

Check out the latest edition of VIBE Kick Picks! This week, we hit the famous neighborhood of SoHo—where black hipsters, Asian dreadlock rastas, and white b-girls can all be linked together by intense senses of style, a broad range of individuality, and rich NYC street culture in general.—Keenan Higgins

Let's start it off and see what our first 'sneakerhead' Gary had to say about his kicks:

"[The Jeremy Scott Adidas are] very different. It's a very unique style. Not a lot of people wear it, and I like to be different."

—Gary Jones

*Shoutout to Gary though, as we caught him coming fresh out the sneaker store. You're looking at new, out-the-box pair right here—just the way we like 'em!

Adidas x Jeremy Scott (Instinct)

Jordan 2 (Vashtie/Violette)

"These were the first Jordans made for women by a woman. As a sneakerhead, it was only right." —Tiffany Ford

Adidas x Jeremy Scott (J Wings/Metallic)

"I really, really liked them. I like things with wings on them and silver is one of my favorite colors." —Sterling Beatty

Nike Dunk (Apetite For Destruction)

"I just like them." —Mike John

Air Max 90 (Hot Pink/Lime)

"These are [customized] from Nike ID. I wanted some trainers that no one else has." —Gabby Notts

Air Jordan 3 (2001 OG)

"After '94, it was the first retro that was easier to get. It the best quality that I've ever seen them in. I picked them up 11 years ago." —Adam Zenou (@Adam_Zee), employee at KITH/Atrium (one of the dopest sneaker spots in NYC) Editor's Note: These are not the Cement III's that you see every other day. Notice the Nike check on the back instead of the Jumpman logo. You WILL NOT find these in retail stores!
