Don't be ashamed, sneaker fantasizing is perfectly normal behavior for those of us who use mass transportation, wait in hour-long lines, and aren't immediately rushed to front row seats. People aren't looking at your shoewear in SRO, kids.

For you fashion show attendees from out of town who proudly wave the sneakerhead flag, I encourage you to visit Foot Locker on 34th Street. We're talking ginormous walls of sneakers. And if you're up for a little sightseeing, visit Foot Locker's House of Hoops in Harlem on 125th Street right down the block from the Apollo Theatre. Check out the Foot Locker blog for House of Hoops releases. I'm really into the Lebron VI Chalk, and it has nothing to do with my Lebron crush, I swear.
