RECAP: SNEAKER GALLERY

On Saturday, Brody Black Caucus and I put on THE SNEAKER GALLERY up at Michigan State. Lets keep it 100, to be honest, it was all Rodney from Eighty81 and I that put this whole thing together. What made the event so special was that we held it in the Lookout Gallery of Snyder-Phillips (if you haven't been in there, it's extremely dope), and no one has ever gotten that space for something like this. Also, this was the first event up at MSU properly showcasing sneaker culture. Shout-out to Rodney, because without him, we would have never been able to hold an event in there. Despite the weather, the event was mad successful overall. Before we opened the gallery there were about 20-25 people waiting to get in. We opened the gallery a little late due to the weather, and I was mad worried because it was pretty slow at first. However, after we were all situated, people started to come in, and the room filled up...anyways, onto the pics.
