Anyone who’s been invested in sneakers knows that regionality can be a controversial topic. What’s far less controversial are local dance scenes, unabashed point of prides for cities all over the United States. Even trying to put our hometown bias to the side, New York City has always brought an incredibly diverse mosaic to the culture, from vogue in the 1980s to litefeet beginning in the 2000s.
As Converse works through their various eras via the Chuck Taylor Throwback, the Boston brand and Foot Locker teamed up to celebrate that local dance style in The Bronx. Touching down at La Bodega Studio in Mott Haven, the two brands came together to host an all-out celebration of Litefeet. The evening was hosted by Litefeet Awards, enlisting scene legends like Lucky Banks, Hype Girl, and Jay Wavy to put on their judges’ hats for the wall-to-wall competitions.
Three dance battles and one producer battle took place, giving some shine to the high-tempo soundtrack that lives underneath every ankle break and shoe trick. All participants got a pair of Chuck Taylor Throwbacks for showing off their moves and some lucky guests were hooked up with Foot Locker gift cards, but the ultimate winner at the end of the night went home with a custom gold Chuck Taylor Throwback trophy.
All told, the shoes and moves on display were perfect mirrors for one another, both paying respect and carrying the flag for the originators, but bringing modern flair and attitude while doing it. Catch some shots from the event included below. You can grab a pair of the Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback for yourself using the link HERE.
