A little Sneaker Music
I dont know about you guys and girls but i love my music just as much as my sneakers and cars. Not a day goes by when i dont throw on some music to groove too. To be honest with you, whenever possible i have a radio or CD playing. I would have to say out of a 24hr day i listen to music for 12 of those hours. I listen to it all too, new hip-hop to old school hip-hop, classic rock to your hardcore headbanger music and everything else inbetween including techno, dance and rave music. Currently listening to The White Stripes ‘Icky Thump’ and on the playlist after that is Mobb Deep “G.O.D. PT III”. It’s like my love for sneakers and cars, i am not bias to one particular brand, or genre in this case. As a sneakerhead i went on a musical hunt to find every song i could which was related to sneakers in some sort of way. I tried to think of the older stuff such as Run DMC ‘Adidas’ as well as the newer stuff like Chingy ‘Brand New Kicks’. All these songs are either solely about sneakers and nothing else or they have a hook/chorus which references sneakers in some sort of way.

‘Foot Soldiers’ Coming Soon
Foot Soldiers is a new segment which we will be starting here this year on Sneaker Obsession. This new segment which we have dubbed Foot Soldiers will include interviews with many of the sneaker customizers you have seen featured on this site, as well as many clothing/sneaker shop owners. Some of these customizers are people many of you have taken interest in, as i could see by your comments. It will be the same old deal as any ol’ interview you have read in the past. A write up about the artist/company followed by a Q&A. I will personally be starting this off on February 3rd and after that every contributor to the site will take part in an interview from time to time. We will post a new addition to ‘Foot Soldiers’ whenever they roll in, no sooner then 2 weeks after the previous interview though. So check back Monday the 3rd for your first feature. We wont tell you who our first subject is just yet 
Solestruck “Save Your Soles” Program
What do you do with those old sneakers you bought just to wear around daily? Do you throw them out, donate them, where do they go? Over at Solestruck there is a donation program going on where they are accepting all old sneakers (mens, womens, and childrens). For each pair of sneakers you donate you get 5% off your next order, donate a total of 3 sneakers and get 15% off. Solestruck is a site which mostly sells womens sneakers, besides for some Vans, but the program accepts sneakers for all genders. Guys, fill your ladies in on this. Solestruck sells many womens sneakers from many brands such as Pastry, Baby Phat and more which they may be more then interested in. Plus you can get them a discount if they are willing to give rid of some of those old shoes and replace them with something new. Solestruck even covers the shipping charges for all the sneakers which are donated to them. For more info about the program or to check out the inventory in stock at Solestruck please visit their website.

A lot of readers submit emails to Sneaker Obsession asking about shops which hold Tier 0 accounts. Some of you fail to tell us where you are located so we are unable to tell you which shop you have nearest you that is a Tier 0 account holder. To end some of the questions and give you the readers what you want to know, we have put together of every Tier 0 shop (to our knowledge) located in the world. We did our best to located every one and provide the address/phone if we were able to come across it. Please click here to visit the Tier Zero shop page or click the tab at the top of the page that says “Tier 0″. Enjoy.
