NYC Shop cards are the most plentiful chase card - they’re meant to represent MY experience boppin around the New York SB scene with dudes like @solesupreme , @danposite , @saistv and @johncoco in 2004-2006ish...they include stories and pickups and reviews based on my memories of visiting each of these shops. Not all of these shops are SB shops, but they are shops I do have memories of...
Coming from the mountains of Northern California, business turnover wasn’t really much of a thing. Living in New York for 8 years blew my mind - I couldn’t believe how fast businesses and even SKYSCRAPERS would be there one day and gone the next. The fact that some of these places no longer exist makes me super nostalgic. Part of the reason I wanted to do this set - I felt it was a part of NY Sneaker History that just HAD to be documented, as I feared it would be lost to the sands of time.
The card itself - it’s called a ‘lenticular effect.’ Hold it one way - you can see me standing in front of a shop with whatever shoe I think of when I think of it. Angle it the other way and you can see what now stands in its place.
TBH I was debating putting a couple of those cards in there, but at the end of the day I felt it was more important to be honest and relatable than to put on a happy face and front. Some of my experiences at these shops SUCKED.
You’re probably gonna pull one of these in every 2 packs...
@sonsofblackmaria and I did our second NFT of one of these cards, but I didn’t feel we needed to create many more. I’d love to create a few to gift to the owners of some of these shops (@123dortiz ) but that’s only if THEY want them. If y’all are interested in NFT’s of these shop cards lemme know and I’ll see if we can mint a few...
