This past weekend I showcased at KIXPO! Kixpo is Dallas / Fort Worth's biggest sneaker and streetwear expo! Last year I went to the event as an event goer, so it took me awhile to take in the fact that this year I was going as an exhibitor! What a difference a year makes, huh?! Whatever, let's run through the day...
The night before, I stayed up until about 6am making sure I had everything I needed for the event. Checking inventory, gathering shirts and making sure I had all my signage, handouts and material ready was a huge pain in the ass, but in the end it was a good feeling to take a step back and see how things came together.
I was lucky to be sandwiched in-between my Fur Face Boy family...
the good folks at Centre...
...and the Yeezed up Shogun Crew!
After I set up my table, I figured that the only time I could catch a glimpse of all the RARE, ONE OF A KIND and VHTF sneakers was now, so I did - DO NOT TOUCH!!!
I spot a VERY UNDERRATED Air Jordan (here's a clue: 2000).
MAN! I wish I had a complete set of the Reebok Voltron Lion Force Pack! I wouldn't mind having those Triumvir Dunks or those P.Rod Marco Hernandez either.
OoOooooooOooooooh...a nice collection of Air Max 1's.
I see EGGPLANTS! How bout you?
Drool~~~~~SVSM LeBron III's and IV's!
White / Tour Yellow IV's, Grape's, Olympics, Carmines, Spiz'ike's, and PE's - OH MY!
After a quick rundown of all the awesomeness, I grabbed a slice of pizza (which was the only thing I ate all day - until this) that they had giving away, inside the pizza box was a fortune cookie (I know, weird.) I cracked open the fortune cookie, this was my fortune:
You can never go wrong with a cookie! The Fur Face Boy table was BONKERS with customers wanting to get their hands on the FFB Kixpo Exclusive as well as other FFB styles! I met and talked to so many people! It was great to meet original FFB fans for the first time, re-meeting people from last week's Centre BBQ, as well as meeting / making new friends! Tons of D/FW based crews and clothing labels like The Deadstock Crew, Index, Watermelon Democracy, Key City, Unkommon Kolor and Grp Fly also stopped by (and stopped by again!) to show FFB much love and much support!
I even got to chat it up abit with this guy - Dom Kennedy. Dom was a real cool guy, no lie. I took notice that he's a big Air Jordan fan so I figure I give him a FFB Kixpo Exclusive. Then we debated over which girls are better, Texas or Cali girls? And it's obvious we all know what the answer to that is...or do we?
After a crazy-busy, hectic, yet extremely successful / fun filled Saturday, I think everyone who attended Kixpo definitely deserves a Watermelon Sundae:
