Hey! What's up? -

Hey everyone!
I'm a Baltimore girl with serious love for ink, Adidas, and hardcore and metal (not necessarily in that order). I'm an editor by day, and do illustration, design, and block printing at night. As far as my love of sneakers is concerned, I'm a bit of a whore, and have what i call the holy trilogy: Adidas, Vans, Puma (in that order).
Superstars are by far my favorite sneaker--right now, i only have 5 pairs, but since my funds have loosened up a bit, more are rapidly coming. My newest pair i had to devise a scheme to get them from Adidas Canada because the bastards wouldn't ship to the US or accept US payments. I had to hunt down friends of friends that live in Canada and would help me out. The first guy agreed to do it for Big Red gum and a variety of flavored Mountain Dews (he got all giddy when i told him i just drank an orange one) but then he flaked. But my friend's sister totally rocked out and came through though, so now my Precious are sitting in my room waiting for a grand premiere (the weather has been iffy and wet here..no way am i rockin those girls with the threat of a Baltimore city puddle lurking).
I have a five year old daughter that is learning to play the guitar and wants to "play like Rob Zombie and Motorhead." God, I'm proud.
Although the other day while perusing some sneaker shops in the hood she pulled a pair of green Nikes off its stand and brought them to me "look mommy, I like these, the green is cool." The salesgirl came over right as i said "yes hon, the color's cool, but those are Nikes. Put those back. We don't wear Nikes in our house."
Hope to get to know some other Superstar lovers! Cheers!

Greetings!
Possibly the best intro I've ever read, here is someone with not many pairs but still with a total love and understanding of the shelltoe.
