My Life: Nike Sportswear Store Launch Event-Montreal
April 16th, 2009
Last night I headed out to the Nike Sportswear store launch at Fairview Mall in Montreal. It was an invite only event to celebrate the launch of the very first Nike Sportwear store in Montreal.
The store looks really fresh and has some elements of the Mercer store in NYC.
Free drinks and wine of course….I settled for 7up
My homie Toddy Flores was the guest DJ of honor. He played such an amazing set of breaks for me! Check out his Nike interview he completed last week.
It was quite the launch with all the executives and tastemakers all mingling in the same room.
Jonathan from Nike, Killing the Grey M-65 jacket. Wow! Toddy and I were trying to rob him for that jacket. Too bad it wasn’t my size.
The 09 Bonnie and Clyde- J & D
Thanks to Carla for the invite!
Located at the Fairview Pointe-Claire Mall in Montreal.
Those M65’s are sold there? I’d like to see one with a subtle pattern on it in the future, would be cool.
They are not sold there! That is a holiday piece.

Their first location is in Fairview Mall. I don’t know why they have decided to open up all the way there but I guess it’s a start. Check out more pictures on Marcus Troy. [...]

nice pics looks like must see
couple days ago i stopped by to gotsole shop, and i believe that your friend the toddy guy was in there, and he was saying something that unfit to me, well actually he wasn’t speaking to me…i remember he’s saying that “he is not going to sell shoes to the people that aren’t from montreal” well i am not from montreal, i am from singapore and i came a long long way to montreal just to get humiliated, you should respect others man, i know you’re ’somebody’ in this scene, thats why you should respect others man…wether they’re rich (like you?) or not
aldo » Hey Aldo, I’m sorry to hear about your experience. I am sure that what you heard was maybe out of context! The owner and people from gotsoul are great people and would never intentionally disrespect or humiliate anyone. He might have a store policy that people that some may not agree with…but I am sure he has his reasons. Looking forward to hearing from you.
^^^^Wow Aldo!!!!
Talk about a total miss-understanding! I was having a conversation with a customer of mine who I’ve known for many years and I was recalling a story of when I went to MIA skateshop in Miami about 4 years ago. I went in to buy some sneakers and the manager of the shop would not sell them to me since I was from out of town. I asked why and he replied, “Well I actually would want a local person to buy these shoes, a person who supports the shop and will wear the shoes and not resell them. The person would skate them and wear them into the MIA store while copping another non-hyped pair in the future. I want the hyped-up sneakers to stay locally so that MIA customers will be able to get a pair of kicks they want.”
I totally understood what the manager was trying to do. Keeping his loyal customers happy and certain product available to them is very important. The sneakers that I was trying to buy were the Diamond Dunk Sbs.
So Aldo, you totally heard a certain part of the conversation that must have mislead you to believe that I would not sell the kicks to anyone from abroad. As a matter of fact, I sold a DOPE pair of ZX8000’s and Air Max 1’s to a person who was visiting Montreal from Paris.
You might have also heard me say that I would not consider shipping the product or selling them online. I too believe in building the local scene here as a priority. There are enough online sneaker shops that people can use to order sneakers.
So, I apologize for any type of humiliation you might have felt, even though it was not intended. But please don’t judge me by saying I’m RICH. You don’t know me. I work hard for my money like everyone else.
Take care and please introduce yourself the next time you happen to be in Montreal.
