September 9th 2012 marked the return of Footurama Swapmeet from its 5 year hiatus. In 2007, the last Footurama Swapmeet was held at Kemang and was a great place where friends and communities gathered not only to buy and sell, but also trade ideas and make connections. Names like Darbotz, The Slyndicates, Tuff Stuff Gang, Tembok Bomber, and WhatNot were involved in the past Swapmeets. With the same idea behind, for this year’s Swapmeet, they invited their good friends from sneaker enthusiasts and Indonesia’s local brand. It was a gread opportunity to meet some of the most passionate sneakerheads in town.
Swapmeets are always known for its excitement of finding something really good from brand new, dead stock, pre-owned to vintage goods. With around 20 stalls inside Whiteboard Journal’s W_SPACE, there are lots of kicks from Nike (including early releases of Nike SBs), New Balance, Adidas, Alife, Vans, Reebok, Generic Surplus, Gravis, and so much more, all in crazy prices. They saw some happy people went home with items like visvim Trouser ($60), Nike Blazer Supreme ($200), 2 pairs of Jordan V ($250), and New Balance kicks priced around $30 – $70. Other quality stuffs spotted are O.G. Huarache, SB Dunks from Tiffany, Supreme, Cali, Dunkle, and lots of Jordans.
