So blessed…I got to spend the whole day with the fam! And please allow you to introduce y’all to my Grandma…yea she’s a G! My Grandma > Your Grandma. Haha

After tailgating we made our way to the stadium. It was a beautiful day and I couldn’t ask for anything better!

After the game we headed back home so Mom could open her presents. I took this quote straight from the little bro “Of course you would get her some shoes!” haha I picked up a pair of Roshes for the madre and she loved them! Love you Mom!

Hope all of you had a great Mother’s Day as well! I’ve got a lot of projects that have been cooking for a while and will soon come to life. If you thought the wall clock was dope just wait till this next project drops…stay tuned!

Big thanks to Geoffrey for the amazing idea and Benjie for referring us to Ivan over at The Pinata House!

I asked my moms to make some cookies and she came through clutch as always! They were a huge hit and if you’re reading this Mom, happy mothers day and thank you!!

Rich’s sister provided some goodies of her own and killed it with the cupcakes. Gracias!

Smoke Eaters was generous enough to sponsor our event with wings and tenders.

Of course we had a very special cognac for a very special occasion flowing throughout the night! Just about everyone took advantage of the donate some shoes for free booze deal we had going on. Haha.

DJ SNARE on the tables providing the tunes for the evening. Make sure you book him for your next event/party/etc…tell him Shoepreme sent ya!

This is what Rich looks like when he’s getting ready to pour shots. Bahahaha at Hanh Cholo, Calvin, and his girl!!

He remembered he was rocking his Yeezys though and it was all good!

Time to get the party started…

Yup…shooting dice outside of Aristo!

Big thanks for Jeff and Ian of Aristocrats for helping us put on this event. Much appreciated fellas!

More shoe donations!! As my good friends at RIF always say…Good People Helping Good People!

What are they doing you ask? Nguyening!

Everyone was pretty tipsy at this point and it was time to unveil the special piñata we had made for the event! My looked pretty excited! Haha

BOOMSHAKALAKA!! C’mon people who else has 4 ft Jordan 1 piñata made? Nobody!! Special thanks to @Fredster818 for making the Sole Collector feature happen! You can read it here.

Shoepreme luh da kids!

After being spun around and blindfolded it was a swing and a miss…

No worries because Big Mark man handled that thing!

Fighting over free Shoepreme tees!

It was Halloween all over again for the little guys!

I really didn’t realize how many shoes everyone donated until the event was over. Easily over 200+ pairs going to the less fortunate who need a pair of shoes on their feet.

Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting a good cause! Thank you to Aristocrats for co-hosting the event with us, Jiminy Stitch It, NOS for the drinks, and last but not least Smoke Eaters for providing us with food! We hope to see everyone next year for the Second one!

With the release of the Playoff 12′s quickly creeping up on us, the Shoepreme “Supply The Demand” snapbacks are under production and coming together very well! Just wanted to keep you guys in the loop, so here’s a preview of what will be dropping later this month. If you haven’t taken advantage of the pre-order pricing you can do so here. As always there will be a limited amount available so make sure you cop one before they sell out!!

We recently teamed up with Elm Co. to produce our “Supply The Demand” snapback…whoop!! These bad boys will be ready to go right around the same time the Playoff 12′s are set to release. The hat features a Black base, “Preme” embroidered in White outlined in a light grey with “SHOE” being done up in a light grey as well. It’s all about the details people…you’ll notice our slogan “SUPPLY THE DEMAND” arched across the back with a mini “SP” hit along the left side, oh and don’t forget the kelly green under bill. Gotta keep it OG! All in all we’re very happy with the design and hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do!

You can pre-order your “SUPPLY THE DEMAND” snapback here for the special price of $28. After the first 10 customers pre-order theirs, the price will increase so save yourself a couple bucks and secure one before they sell out!!

Our goal with the brand or the clothing side of things is to continue to put out clean & simple designs with the sneakerhead in mind. There are a handful of people putting out gear to match your shoes but we feel that we do it the best so come fuk wit us!!

If there’s anything else that you guys would like to see from Shoepreme let us know and leave a comment below!!

We got there at what seemed like the crack ‘o dawn. The sun wasn’t out yet but Mr. Seagull was first in line for the day’s festivities.

More people started to arrive for staging so we checked in and got official with our “vendor” wristbands. Black/Cement tres on feet…the 2001 “NIKE AIR” jawnz of course! Remember kids…quality!!

HERBST PAVILION

The whips were now pulling into the hangars…these are toys for the big boys smh some of these dudes don’t even drive the cars they show, some were pulled in on trailers. That’s straight gansgta shit! It’s very similar to just collecting DS Jordans and never wearing them but on a much more ballerific scale. Haha!

GIRAFA x KRINK PENS x ADAM’s BMW

Peep the interview (produced by Beans & Croydon) of GIRAFA for WEKSOS here or click the photo above to see the video.

Here’s the gang of people that were lined up since 6am to get into the event. It was probably around 11:30 when I took this picture and the event didn’t begin till 1pm. Crazier than any sneaker campout/release I’ve ever been to!

Finally had a chance to get our table set up and everything came together nicely. Clean and simple as always!

I decided to bring a few of the newer releases for those that may have missed out.

15,000+ people later and WEKFEST SF was crackin’!! Shoepreme booth was jumpin’ too and it was all love. Beanies sold out, clocks sold out, and stickers were being passed out like candy. I had a chance to meet some of my customers in person for the first time and it was AWESOME!! They came reppin’ their Shoepreme gear too which was so crazy for me to see in person. I met A LOT of really cool people and can’t say enough about how much I appreciate everyone’s support that day. Just being able to be there with people that rock with you was an amazing feeling that made it all worth it. #TEAMSHOEPREME y’all are the best forreals!

Dude asked for a sticker and straight slapped that thing straight on his bike. He said FUCKYOURWHIP!! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout!!

I needed a break from the madness that ensued inside the granddaddy pavilion so I went outside to get some fresh air and the weather was perfect. That island looking thing you see at about 11 o’clock is Alcatraz and let me tell you this it doesn’t look like that far of a swim from there to shore. I now know why some prisoners gave it a shot. Haha.

Had to stop by the MoGo food truck to get a much needed short rib burrito but it just doesn’t taste as good when you’re not drunk coming out the club lol

Supra cop car? That thing was bananas!!! From the paint job to the lights and sirens it was beyond dope.

Benzo

This IS was killing it!

Chevy Impala…top back!

Ferrari (no Zoolander)

I called this one the midget cricket

There were a lot of dope cars at this event but this was by far my favorite I don’t know if it was the paint job but damn was it pretty. Reminded me of Master Chief from the Halo days. Haha!

I want to give a BIG thanks to Adam and Kenneth of WEKSOS for the opportunity to be a vendor at WEKFEST SF. To know that WEKFEST began just a few years ago blows my mind. The magnitude of the event, along with their following and event turnout was crazy to witness let alone be a part of. Shoepreme at WEKFEST SF was a HUGE success and you never know, you might see us at the next stop…Long Beach?!

P.S. – If sneaker events were anything like WEKFEST the sneaker culture would be A LOT more fun, enjoyable, and exciting!

With all the hype surrounding the Nike “GALAXY” pack that releases this weekend I felt compelled to drop a fresh tee for you guys. This tee features a galaxy background on a black tee with the ‘Shoepreme’ text that actually glows-in-the-dark. Even if you don’t get your hands on the Foamposites, fret not friends, this tee still matches the LeBron 9′s, Kobe VII’s, KD IV’s, and the Air Flight One’s!! Clean and simple as always but just a few extra details this time around. Limited to 48 pieces. Head on over to the online store and grab your size before it’s gone!! Click here to purchase.

The glow is real folks!

Custom ‘Shoepreme’ galaxy stickers included in each order…BOOM!!

May the “FOURS” be with you!

It would be really unFOURtunate if you didn’t get a pair of these! Haha. Man…the HYPE is REAL!! I’ve been getting flooded with calls, texts, emails and all I can say is that you should’ve pre-ordered for $250 when I had them available through the online store. Save yourself the headache and hassle, fork over a couple extra bucks in knowing that your pair is secure. For those that didn’t get a chance to pre-order their size I’ll be throwing up more sizes throughout this weekend as well as next week. They will sell out again so just make sure to cop when you see your size available.

Wekfest SF is manana and I’ve been running around town picking up everything for tomorrow’s event. I dropped by the printers to grab my order and the tees, crewnecks, and hoodys all came out super clean!! Made my way out to Oakland after that to scoop some stickers, yes finally some Shoepreme slaps! In addition to the 6+ pairs of White/Cement IV’s I’ll be selling there, I’ll also have Nike license plate frames, pocket tees, beanies, hoodys, clocks, etc. so make sure you’re there showing some bay area love and support!

Woke up early this morning so just thought I’d give you guys a  little update of what’s going on. Off to pick up more IV’s this morning. Catch y’all later!

Peace.

If you haven’t caught on by my constant tweets regarding the event this Sunday, Shoepreme will be at WEKFEST SF!! Surely to be nothing short of epic you need to make sure you’re in attendance. I’ll be bringing a grip of stickers so make it a point to stop by the booth and pick up a couple to slap on your whip! We’ll be bringing close to a size run of the White/Cement IV’s releasing the day prior that will be sold exclusively at the event and will not be listed on the online shop. Nike license plate frames (only available to campus employees) will be up for grabs throughout the day. I’m stoked and you should be too, so do me a favor and come thru to show that bay area support. See y’all there!
