Rapper Miz Korona was in the house reppin FSF too!

Mel Wonder on the 1s and 2s

Like I said, it was a good crowd!

These female sneaker fiends were reppin' for The Foundation, a beautiful crew that really brings together females in hip hop culture in Detroit. Emcee Nikki (left) won the raffle for a pair of Bob's Classic Kicks, and Kirby (right) let us know her sneaker rule: buy a new pair of kicks every time she wears a pair for the 1st time! Always gotta have that fresh pair...

Speaking of Bob's Classic Kicks, I  had to go check out the real spot. (Including the vault in the back.) Female sneaker fiends who missed the event can pick up a signed copy of Girls Got Kicks at Bob's!
