I, for one, am tired of seeing things like this happen again and again. \u00a0Sneaker crime is nothing new, but it seems like more and more we are seeing the wave happen to kids younger and younger. \u00a0Words can’t describe how happy I am to hear that the 14-year-old victim was not physically\u00a0hurt, but can only imagine the psychological damage that was caused by the incident.<\/p>\n
We have reached out to the Fort Myers Police Department to encourage that they join other police departments in allowing people to meet at their stations to carry out transactions in a safe and controlled environment.<\/p>\n
What makes this story even harder to stomach as a person who has written and blogged about shoes for almost a decade is which shoes were involved in this crime – the very first pair of Aunt Pearl KDs<\/strong>. \u00a0Kevin Durant and Nike produced this limited and sought after shoe in memory of his late and beloved aunt who unfortunately passed away in 2000 of lung cancer. \u00a0The shoes are not only a tribute to his late loved one, but also to raise awareness.<\/p>\nIt is terribly unfortunate that a shoe that has so much significance beyond the leather and rubber that constructs it was involved in a crime.<\/p>\n
To all sneakerheads, please stay safe and call your local police department to encourage that they allow meet-ups in their stations. \u00a0If you do take part in face-to-face transactions, bring a buddy and make sure that you are always in a safe place to meet.<\/p>\n
To all parents of sneakerheads, please discuss with your children the importance of staying safe and offer to be present for any meet-up transactions.<\/p>\n
Sneakers are great. \u00a0We love them. \u00a0But when it comes to your own the safety and wellbeing of you or anyone else,\u00a0they’re just shoes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Nike Zoom KD IV “Aunt Pearl”\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This needs to stop. \u00a0Now.
