BORED!!!!

My mum said something to me in passing the other day that reinforced something that i was thinking. She asked (surprisingly) why i hadn't bought any new trainers recently. Having had to cope with mulitple boxes mounting the hallway, and my constant chattering about my precious kicks, Mum wondered why i hadn't bounced in with yet another trainer purchase...and it got me thinking again about the sneaker game at the moment.

Having conversed with a few sneaker freaks about this, most heads are feeling the same. That the sneaker game at the moment has got pretty Boring!!! Some said that the scene has got too saturated with brands that are doing the same said things....following the hype basically, not being as inventive or innovative as the game needs. Others have taken the ecomomic situation into play, suggesting that brands are trying to keep shit safe at the mo.....nobody wants to be taking risks, or making losses. A few said that shit like this just happens....the game has its ups and down, taking dips at times in order to pave the way fro some real creative off the chain shit....and the rest have just said that real sneaker peps are taking a back burner at the mo...reppin the old skool comfortable shit that encapsulated the sneaker game at its best.

I for one hope that things start looking up...and quickly...as im starting to pull out ol' skool shit that really should stay in their boxes..lol....
