Sneak & Eat Chicago 2011

RJC — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:19:29 +0000

Sponsored by Nike Sportswear and the finest sneaker shops/clothing companies in the city, Sneak & Eat brings the sneaker community together for one amazing day. The all day event included free food and drinks, live art, sneaker vendors, clothing vendors, rap and dance battles, music performances and dope DJ’s spinning the entire event. It’s rare to see all of the pioneers in Chicago streetwear and the new up and coming in one building but there was nothing but respect in the air. Everyone showed love and there was strong sense of community which is always a beautiful thing. Shouts to everyone that stopped by the booth and showed some love! We look forward to next years event. Check out pictures from the event after the jump.

Talented chicks are a dime a dozen, but this female’s one in a million. Check out our home girl, Abet, showcasing her latest spoken word piece. She speaks on what it means for her to be a superwoman, to be strong. Yet her strength comes from confessing her kryptonite. Check it.

Dope ain’t it? Yeah she’s a superwoman but don’t get it twisted, still a potential villain.

Check out her other pieces here. PEACE!

This is a really dope lego version of Wu Tang’s classic music video, Da Mystery of Chessboxin. You would be surprised to see how many shot-for-shot cuts they took from the original video. The video is pretty on point and executed very nicely. I posted the original video below if you haven’t seen it. Compare the two! It’s pretty dope.
