And the Winners Are …

Angelo Salas and Edwin Cruz (above) won a break-dancing competition July 18 at Kick N Habits, a summit of sneaker collectors, b-boys and graffiti artists who met behind Studio 410, on West Davis Street. Winners in a shoe contest opted to go just by their crew names, said event spokesman Jeff Rodriguez, so here goes: Process took first place, Akuma took second, and Sandman took third. All three show off their collections together, in a group dubbed the Heat Seekers. And the winner of the poppin’ (you know, like, poppin’ and lockin’) contest was Narci Gonzalez.

Dan Koller previewed Kick N Habits in the July 16 issue of Oak Cliff People, and the photo below — of some Heat Seekers competition — ran alongside his story. From left are David Ibarra, Emmanuel Villasenor, and Juan Villasenor, otherwise known as the Freshest Kids. Emmanuel, for the record, once drove 10 hours to Atlanta to buy sneakers. And he’s considering a trip to Europe next month, so he can get a pair of Air Jordans before they come to stores in the U.S.

Now that’s dedication.

    Its nice seeing this newspaper covering something that most people don’t seem to understand or prefer. It was a good gathering of the masses on that hot hot summer day. It would be fun to see something like this again, in Oak Cliff.
    mad props to Oak Cliff people newspapers!
