you had nice Nikes on this weekend, L
I have wide feet, so I can only barely wear Vans and Adidas
aaaaaand they where a gift. You'll never catch Yung Phawnikz "coping pieces at full market price".
Most recently:
-NIKE SB Harris Tweed Hi's
-NIKE Delta FORCE Mid's full grain leather. Very grown.
And a bunch of other ill shit that I'm not sure of the name.
Being a industry "cool guy" is a good thing. Law School won't get you free gear.
... for $10.
It took me a couple weeks to find a pair in my size (13), but I did it! Now... it's too hot to rock them. I still haven't.
1989: adidas zx8000 $29.99 JC Pennys sale rack
1992: deadstock adidas superstar low RUN-DMC edition (elastic tongue) $15 Building 19
1993: deadstock puma clyde blue/white (gluesole--no stitching) $5 Harve's Shoe Box
Steel toed Timberland Work boots (with the gear on the side, not the tree) - $30 at the same place.
Work for a company that produces a desirable product that can be reciprocated with equal flow.
does that mean that you are trading off shit, or are you able to demand or request their product so that you are (in a way) advertising for them?

the former usually requires scamming shit on the low from the company you work for, or, finding a loophole-----------
the latter is the preferred way to go---------demands don't work well, requests do, and you usually have to know someone in the industry that is in a position to hook you up, and they in turn, have to know or have heard about you........
Both.
I send them our gear and they send me theirs. Since we don't directly compete with each other everybody is happy and indirectly advertising for each other.
Demanding things is tacky. Usually I link up with a person who works for a company whose brand I like. I send them some free shit. Then they typically offer to reciprocate. Wash and repeat until your closet is fully pimped.
I've got 4 pairs of adidas shelltoes in various states (harvest brown stripes ($30), silver stripes ($30), all white (free from brother), and 3/4 version w/ black stripes ($40).
...but I finally broke down and paid $100 for the Black-on-Black Air Penny IIIs.
Like 'em or not (I did), they were the best basketball shoes I've ever owned. The court grip was unbelieveable. Supple deer-tan leather. Wierd but effective Foamposite sides. I babied them through my last year of college (only indoor hoops, cleaning after every use). They were stolen a year later while still in VG condition.
I still dream about those things. ([color:white]not really[/color])
Nate... Peace to you for the advise homie
Not as nice as Nate's freebies, though.
