Well at the end of the day, I think this is great for the neighborhood! We are seeing some parts of Brooklyn being developed, and with all of these new condo/rental developments, and I think we need more people willing to invest into neighborhoods, with new businesses, and so forth! There are a lot of closed gates on Tompkins Avenue, and the fact that someone is doing something positive for the area I think is a blessing! And besides, most of the Sneaker Boutiques are in the city, so its nice to have some of what u usually see in Manhattan, come here in our neighborhood in Brooklyn! All I can say is thanks for choosing Bed-Stuy!! Yeah!!!

Yep.
“New sneaker mentality” is people trying to show they’re not poor.
eh, I’d be broke too, if, as he said in the article I read regarding the sneakers, that he would wear them only a couple of times, and then throw them out because they no longer looked brand new. What an idiot, and a great role model for our kids. What’s really important? Not an education, a good job, nice home, nooooo. Brand new white sneakers, 365 days a year. Wonder how that’s working for him now.
I’m not judging Rob, I just dont get it. spending 200+ on sneakers you aren’t going to wear?
That said, I dont wish bad on any new business, good luck to em, I’ll send my friends their way when they are back in town..
I walk by the Fort Greene sneaker store at least once a day. Unfortunately I’ve never seen any customers in there.
@Montrose Damon’s collection didn’t do much for him. He’s broke.
I don’t collect sneakers or T-shirts but I’m glad to see new stores on Tompkins Ave, it’s the next next next ……… up & coming area.

I have friends my age (@40) who collect sneakers, vinyl toys, and tshirts, I dont get it. Are they trying to buy their youth back?
if it makes them happy, who is anyone to judge?
