April 25, 2023

Just putting up a quick post to share a write up for our vintage friends over at GEM.app called ‘Five Little Known Sneaker Brands.’ While many of the brands from the article have gone away, there are still a lot of very cool one-of-a-kind vintage sneakers out there that can be found on GEM app, which brings all the best vintage products to one place. For those of you that are fellow vintage gear hunters we love this app and highly recommend it. If you’re interested in the sneakers featured in the post most of them are for sale at our vintage shops RewindRunning.com and DeffestShop.com.

Kinney NBA Nike Le Village vintage sneakers

February 2, 2020

One of the things we dig about running the blog is hearing about the random vintage finds from all corners of the world. We recently heard from @cmmayse in Ohio about some new old stock vintage Kinney NBA Nike Le Village bootlegs that feature the original box, tissue paper and the upside down swoosh logo. The last I heard these sneakers had been sold but you can check them out below.
