The only sneakers I ever stood in line for were the Supreme low tops. I think I got there around 9:30 am that morning and then didn’t even get my size or first choice of color because a few friends walked in right before they opened and loaded several 12 packs into the back of their van. I ended up getting the whites a day later from some guy in the city and selling the black sz 10′s for a little more than I paid for the whites, so I guess it all worked out. Those Supreme lows might be the best sneakers ever created. I couldn’t stop staring at pics when they first hit the internet and I remember sneakerpimps.com (?) selling them for like $1,000 a few months early. Those things changed everything.

So I guess this Nike SB book is coming out soon.
