My first sneaker release event was a great success and a unique experience. To conclude our night Juan, JuanofaKind and myself decided to hit up Pink’s Hot Dogs and indulge in some hot dogs, chili cheese bacon fries and onion rings. I don’t wanna give everything away so you can watch the interview for yourself when it drops tomorrow. Team KoF conducted an interview that covered the inspiration behind his new kicks, what he thinks of when he sees the shoes and a couple of more things. After about 15 minutes of Snoop doing “Snoop things” he was ready for the interview and the time had finally arrived. We followed him in hopes of being able to interview and ask him a couple of questions regarding his new sneakers. It felt pretty surreal and cool being around Snoop Dogg (who was dancing and lively the entire time he was there) and being the first to see a shoe in person before it actually releases to the public.Īfter Snoop finished taking pictures with all of the students from Long Beach Poly and some of his fans who bought his new sneakers, he ran across the street to the old Undefeated shop, stopping traffic and snapping pictures of cars, in a way that only Snoop could get away with. This is exactly what was happening inside. Since I was part of the “media” group (yeah, I felt pretty special with that orange wristband on), I was able to go into the store and snap pictures of Snoop and the kids as they came into the store in groups of 5. Then the people directing the event brought out box after box of Snoop’s newest shoes to give to every single student on the bus, which I thought was pretty cool. However, before he arrived, a huge double decker bus that read “Long Beach Poly Varsity Football” parked on the curb with about 100 students inside. Snoop arrived in style (and 30 minutes late because he’s Snoop) with a camera in his hands, snapping pictures of everyone waiting for him outside the store. We arrived at Undefeated at 6:45 and the event was scheduled to start at 7. The event was for Snoop Dogg’s newest adidas releases, the Snoop Dogg adizero 5-Star 4.0 Uncaged cleat and Gameday Trainer. So what did I do? I was invited by Juan Martinez (our Editor-In-Chief) to attend my first sneaker release event with Kicks On Fire at UNDEFEATED in Los Angeles. However, this past Friday there was no NBA and unfortunately for a lot of us, Sons of Anarchy is over. These are their stories… Recapping My First Ever Sneaker Event With 1 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, Snoop DoggĪ typical Friday night for me probably consists of staying home after finishing up work and watching some NBA or maybe some Sons of Anarchy on Netflix. Afterwards, I told them to write about it because I wanted to see what a sneaker event was like through the eyes of a first timer again. Needless to say, they saw and got to experience things that they probably never saw coming. Luckily for me, fellow Kicks On Fire staff writers JuanOnAKind and Andres Carrillo (spoiler alert: they’re brothers) were more than willing to tag along and attend their first ever sneaker event as members of the media. Thanks to a scheduling conflict, I was without a video team to record this past Friday’s adidas event at Undefeated Los Angeles featuring Snoop Dogg and the launch of his brand new cleat and trainer. Editor’s Note: Sometimes the best plans are the ones that don’t go as expected.
