Outside the Moore Building, footwear fetishists of all kinds tip-toed past rain- and flyer-flooded gutters, queuing up at the corner of NE 2nd Ave. and 40th Street for the Miami edition of Sneaker Pimps. There were Lil Wayne wannabes, Asian hip-hop heads, and hardcore skate dudes à la Suicidal Tendencies. Somewhat surprisingly though, the waiting all-ages crowd also included a ton of female fan-types: Lil Mamas and Kid Sisters and a clutch of M.I.A. look-alikes…And upstairs, the independent merch shop—featuring Da Bottom Clothing, Superkix, Female Sneaker Fiend, etc.—was mobbed thicker than the black market. photo via The305
