Solebox X Saucony - Shadow 90

WORDS FROM THE HERO

You may or may not have heard of "SOLEBOX" but chances are if you are A Sneaker Freak, you are well aware of the name. You also may or may not remember A previous post on this site that I did which featured one of my favorite sneakers of all time, the SOLEBOX x PUMA R698



Now, by Clicking on the Sneaker pictured about or THIS LINK you will warp to one of my most detailed post in HobbyshopHero History.

Once again, the Elusive SoleBox is set to release A Sneaker that I would love to own, tho probally will never have the chance to even hold hahahaha. Saucony isn't A very popular or trendy name in the shoe game. But (You can put But after a Period can you??! oh well) If you know me personally (and there is only one False Greek Goddess who truely knows my personality) then you know I could care less about COST, or TREND, NAME BRAND, ETC. I just like what I like...... I even own A pair of 9.99 Velcro shoes from "Wall-Mart" because, well they look Fly!

Point I am trying to make, tho I don't think heads will be flying off the hindges to cop Saucony's, I think this collabo might be the exception. Even tho I have seen A Dozen Dope Saucony colorways since 2008. Now, These jawns are rumored to drop someone where in the November/december Range but who knows? All I know is that the SOLEBOX/SAUCONY SHADOW 90 is the Butters! and I want em! The shoe fuses a Shadow 6000 upper with that midsole of a Shadow 5000. The black upper is touched up sparingly with a salmon colored orange. Too bad there are only A few photos of these classics so far!

WORDS FROM THE HERO

Happy 300th post everyone! I know what you are thinking..... 300 posts? That isn't that many, well you are correct if the posts where made by A staff of writers, or if the posts were just thrown up without much thought.

The Truth is, The Hobbyshop Hero was created, designed and is solely maintained by Dutch VonEpp Ziegler, Professionally known as Dutchmassive, Also known as "The Hobbyshop Hero". This site was created as an extension of the Music I create and is used as my bridge from Artist to Fan, Created as A Fan.

Just as each word in each verse in each song in every album and each sound in each record sampled for every beat used to create my albums is precious and personal. So is the Content I choose to post in this forum dubbed, THEHOBBYSHOPHERO.blogspot. To be completely honest, I've spent more time from 2007 till now researching content, browsing the Internet, learning new programs, building my digital portfolio than I have creating music. Some times A post takes an hour or so, but many times 18 hours go into searching, editing, resizing, color coding and tweaking these posts. I'm very proud of how far the site has come from the birth till now. When I 1st created it, I never imagined getting 20,000 hits a day which isn't that much in the world of Web Sites, but I am happy to know that you are able to enjoy the things I get so excited about!

In Celebration of this monumental number (hahaha) I decided to give everyone A peak into my private Space and took photo's of "The Bed Room" the day before I packed everything up and moved shop!, The Images of my surroundings should give you an IDEA of why I am THE HOBBYSHOP HERO!

Thank You for your precious time!

Happy 300th post!

WORDS FROM THE HERO

Reebok, Nike? Addidas, Supra, Puma? Hmmmmm, Even tho this particular spotlight is aimed @t REEBOK We (meaning Me) @t The Hobbyshop Hero would like to Make it perfectly Clear that ....... Well I'm am not A loyalist to any particular Brand and/or style of Sneaker or Clothing In general for that Matter. I mention this because of A Debate I had w/ a few cats about being Nike Heads or Strickly Shelltoes and I jumped in w/ the Fact that I Found these Dope Velcro Joints @t Wall mart for 9.99 that Looked Doper Than most Shoes... I bought them and All tho The Style Was on Point and you would Have Never Been Able to tell the Difference Between My Wall mart Kicks and The $400 Designer Kicks that have An Unknown name I must say, They were Super Uncomfortable and were Destroyed within The Month (meaning The Sole Detached from the Sneaker and the Side Panel started UnStitching) I Guess the point I am going to make with my ScatterBrained Akward Ramble Technique is that... To me It doesn't Matter the price or the Name of something, but more A matter of being Attracted to something. Which Brings me to Another thing. There are Alot of Sneakers I think are Dope! and would love to own, but wouldn't Necessarily wear. (EXAMPLE: The Reebok VOLTRON PACK and/or The NIKE TRANSFORMER PACK) - On The Cult Appeal Alone I want Everyone of those sneakers included in those Sets yet would only wear a few of them maybe once or twice.


Now, The Sneakers I posted Above (Reebok Berlins) & The Joints Below (Re-Up Lux) I would Rock and I personal Love..

If you are A Repeat Reader you might remember the Post about the OrchardStreet x Reebok Collabo back in December "Orchard Street x Reebok Re-Up Lux" Since the Very 1st Time I layed eyes on these joints I wanted A Pair. Months Later, I get to Present more info on these Gems.
