Allston streetwear shoppers will have a new option available this month following the opening of At The Buzzer, a consignment shop and cap retailer. The store is located at the top of Harvard Avenue and offers a wide variety of both second-hand and deadstock shoes, as well as a selection of caps from New Era.
TH caught up with the managing partner of the store, J, a day before the grand opening. We found him vacuum-sealing a pair of Jordans behind the counter. He talked with us about the Boston scene and his vision for the business.

After a year-long effort, Adidas and Mama clothing fashionista Gabriella Davi-Khorasanee have released the Pro Mama, a chic redesign of the Adidas Pro Model.

As hundreds of sneakerheads began to converge on Harvard Square, residents stared at one another, wide-eyed. The only Cambridge native who could explain the commotion outside of Concepts was pushing a cart full of his belongings down Church Street, and no one thought to ask him.
"Friggin lobsters," the bum muttered. "A whole line for friggin lobster shoes. There's gonna be friggin lobsters tonight!" Continue Reading...

After many fouled attempts, I finally got a pair of Court Victory pumps from Reebok's throwback release this spring. They're modeled after the shoes Michael Chang wore in the '89 French Open.
The pumps come with a rubber chain logo and a tag that explains the genius of the pump design:
"The honeycomb is one of the strongest yet lightest shapes found in nature. With modification, it was the theory behind the development of Reebok's Hexalite technology.
The Hexalite honeycomb design spreads shock over a larger area then EVA or polyurethane. As a result it combines cushioning and light weight ...
