VIBE Kick Picks: Sneaker Con 2012 Edition

November 23, 2012 - 5:29 pm by Keenan Higgins

It's time to get your shoegame proper. Here's the latest roundup of hot sneakers in this week's edition of VIBE Kick Picks.

Last weekend, Sneaker Con 2012 (click [HERE] to see pics) rolled through NYC's Basketball City at Pier 36, bringing out a who's who among the Tri State area's sneaker elite. From some "psychedelic" Jeremy Scotts (seen above) to a pair of OG Olive 9s—try getting those in kid sizes at your local sneaker shop—there were a pair of dope kicks everywhere you turned your head.

VIBE had to show love to a handful of the hottest kicks at the convention. Check below for the first sneaker story:

The Shoe:

Adidas Jeremy Scott (Psychedelic Bear)

The Sneakerhead:

Shelly

The Story:

"My boyfriend** got them for me. They're really bright & fun!"

**Editor's Note: Shelly's boyfriend also bought himself a matching pair. Now that's love!
