Half of the sneaker game is knowing what kicks are out when, and which shops have them. Our Shelf Space column looks at what shops around the country are stocking in a given week, and gives a quick glimpse into the mind of the buyer/manager/owner who put them there.
As we continue our mission of bringing you the insides of the best sneaker spots from around the U.S., we head to Indianapolis and got Sole? Super Bowl week finally kicks off in NapTown and in case you forgot to pack some heat in your carry-on, we got you for the best sneaker spot in town. got Sole? is run by founder/owner Mike Watson who also happens to have one of the sickest Nike Air Max 1 collections period. The store is open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and features a wide range of kicks and clothes. Make sure to follow them on Twitter to see what's new (check 'em on Facebook, too) and stop through to likely catch a classic NBA game on the TV while surfin' for Jordans.
