2006 International Sneaker Battle in Dirty Jersey

BIGG UP to my partner Luke and his man (from The Sneak Tip located in Brooklyn) for taking home the "Best Display Award" at the 2006 International Sneaker Battle!!! Shout-out to the crack-smoking judges that didn't award them with "Best Overall Collection"... Vegas look out! I personally wasn't able to make it this trip to Dirty Jersey, however Luke came through with tons of photos which I put up on Flickr. Enjoy!!!
