Wale x Sneaker Bistro Event Recap

wale_bistro32

We previewed this event last week, and last night in Patchogoue, NY Wale graced the Sneaker Bistro with his presence. The lineup was fierce as hundreds of avid fans of Mr. Folarin were anxious to hear his tunes, and see his kicks.

Wale was in Strong Island last night to promote his album Attention Deficit which drops today. Each fan that stopped by got a copy of the album, and a chance to Meet Wale and compare kicks. Wale is known throughout the sneaker community for procuring kicks months before their general release. His other calling card is his his proclivity for foamposites, and thus it only seems right that the event took place at Long Island hotspot Sneaker Bistro.

Click here to see exactly which kicks Wale donned, and get a better look inside the Sneaker Bistro.

  • B.M.

    Wale’s hat is stooooopid dope…

  • SneakyFeet

    Wale is wack. Nothing but kids from the burbs trying to be gangstas buying his CD. No hood appeal at all.

  • tri-YUM-pf

    Sneakyfeet, you got to be kidding me. Have you heard his mixtapes? They’re nice!!! Dude can spit. The Mixtape about nothing was nothing less than a masterpiece. Better than a lot of crappy albums that are coming out. Unless you actually listen to the guy, then you can’t judge. Simple as that.

  • HARV

    Wale is dope

  • HARV

    I also co sign the mixtape about nothing! The mixtape Back to the future with 9th wonder is hot also…download it at datpiff…..word

    Shoestrings spelling out his name = GIMMICK rapper

    Dude is more famous for fashion… then his rapping WTF

    If you aint never been here then you might see a documentary on TV about this town.

    LOOK at those pics up there. Do u see what I see? LMAO

    My city aint never looked like that.

  • SneakyFeet

    It’s a nice 70 degrees outside and I’m blowing the finest kush out my lungs as I type.

    Nice benefit from residing in the 510.

  • this guy says…

  • 7

    Damn this spot looks tiny

  • gameface1326

    Looks like 7 people showed up and theres a dude sleeping on the bench next to him, straight GHETTO

  • FunkyFresh

    i’m sooo over hearing about Wale and his fashion sense. He’s NOT fly to me. Im sorry.

  • hyestylekid

    I think wale a while agoo said there is too much over thuggin or something like that dont quote me nice to see him finally drop an album and he killed it with the yeezys and the outfit got to give credit where credit is due cant hate on him

  • SneakyFeet

    I never heard the Legendary Pac (GOAT) say nothing about too much thuggin.

    I think Wale said that so he can sell in the burbs.

  • imcalmnow

    i never understood why people love wale fashion sense,he makes good music,but he dresses to colorful and tacky to me,i wouldnt never wear what he wears though,but this is a skeaker site,so thats all that matters,is shoe game is way above average,ill give him props for that,i like his yeezy,s,also,cause you can tell hes been wearing them by the markings on them,that tells you he doesnt stock everything he has,i like him a little bit more for this,cause i wear my kicks no matter how expensive or limited they are,fat joe take notes,wear all of your shoes,you cant stock 30,000-50,000 shoes forever my man,they will eventually fall apart or loosen in materials if you ever try to wear them after 10+years.

  • greenmaker24

    pretty cool

  • cuda

    Who tha hell listens to Wale. I mean for real!! This guy in tha 2nd pic is so UNimpressed by him that he is SLEEPING!!! Wale has absolutely nothing to do with the hip hop im used to. Must be something for tha younger generation. Hes lame and so is his fashion game. Somebody plz smack that kufi off his head. The best thing in any of these pics is those 1/2 cents and those cassette playa’s. Wale, plz leave rap alone!!!!!

  • jojo fyasko

    there is a lot of hate towards wale…give him props his music is original and he isn’t “over thuggin” it…be easy…respect

  • Jerronimo

    Damn, WALE is getting madd love on here. I’m not hatin tho….

  • MJSF

    wah-lay is swagged out as usual.

  • jarrell bell

    feelin the skully worn by wale. i might grow dread to stack on em, lol

  • Henny

    That dudes sleeping cuz he’s part of Wale’s entourage. They’ve been doing a promotion tour for a minute and traveling all day. I’d be tired to. Smh for tryin to throw shots when you don’t even know what took place.

  • sighsss

    Wale doesnt kno how to dress … its sad.
    What is that guy doin wearing 2 different shoes..
    so sad.

  • Matt

    uhmm okk sighhs
    u obviously hav no clue watsoever
    FYI he can dress a lot better than most of the guys in the hip hop game maybe not like Yeezy or Pharrell
    but u knw what for being a new artist(hes not rele new btw) on the scene hes pretty fresh
    he has a gr8 sense of swag
    u dnt hav 2 agree with me its ur opinion ur entitled to it

    and the guy wearin the terminators….hes matchin….black goes with everything and the turquoise matches the one shoe thts how this pair was designed!!! Sure i hate those terminators but hey its not me or u wearin em so who gives

    OHH AND I CAN REPRESENT FOR THIS AREA CUZ IM A LONG ISLANDER
    yeaa tht sounds wack but i personally dont care what u guysz think
    there are areas of Long Island tht are really bad if u gett outta ur stereotypes and come over here
    there are a few towns tht’ll shake u up
    sure it aint east oakland or Southeast DC but there are areas tht r bad!

    BOTTOM LINE Wale is gettin hated on 2 much
    you all need 2 stop hating on Him cuz he’s makin money and ur just makin him more famous by talkin smack
    his music is pretty good hes got a few songs tht r nice not all but sum!!!
    Shout out 2 All of My Long Island Ppls and Wale!

  • Mike

    @gameface1326 – i was in the building for the event i can honestly say event was crazy at 1 time there was almost 200 people

  • Sneakermanjapan

    lmfao yall are the biggest haters and are soooooo retarded when it comes to stuff sometimes….do you not already know that at least 80% of albums sold are bought by people that live in the suburbs and wealthy pplz…r u stupid do you not know that? wale could care less if east oakland is buying his cd’s because everywhere else ppl are buying his cd….all over the world ppl buy his cd so why wud he care if 1 lil hood doesn’t appreciate his music?…..who cares where he was and the pictures that were taken he’s making money he’s promoting his album….he is a newly signed artist….what are you doing exactly? sitting in your house and making hater comments on blogs lolz….like my manz said that must be real gangsta that you comment blog sites…if you were dat gangsta you should b on the block somewhere or in jail lol how’s that for reality….wale said it best “i’m sick of these internet gangsters” if you don’t like wale…sooo what you don’t have to comment or read anything about him if you don’t want to.

    SneakyFeet – you are refering to pac saying he never said nuffin about over thuggin? pac had thug life tattoo’d on him why would he ever go against that? and I know you being from CA are not claiming Pac because Pac was an East cooast rapper he was born over here went to school over here…he went to da west cooast because of his beef wit his record label…he didn’t even go to live in Cali until ’88 he died in 96 he spent most of his life on the east coast….n if you want to listen to gangster rap then pop in some of the old school rappers like pac, nas, biggie, bone thugs, and dem don’t get mad becuz hiphop died with that music because ppl were “over thuggin” everyone aint gangsta everyone didn’t grow up in a bad place and its okay there is no pride in growing up in a bad place…I’ve lived all over the DMV with alot of my time spent in PG co. that doesn’t mean I’m better or worst then someone who lived in beverly hills all their life….grow da hell up…becuz pplz are bringing a new light to hip hop and not rappin about guns and killing all da time its a problem? u have got to be some sort of retarded if thats the only music u can appreciate…wale has no hood appeal? but everyone outta da DMV is coppin da album its pplz in NY and all of its burros coppin da album…pplz in LA coppin the album pplz in da hoods of the international part of the world are coppin his album just because you n ur friends can’t appreciate any music dat isn’t “gangsta” doesn’t mean he has no hood appeal…its some of us out da DMV that feel everyword he’s saying….his stuff goes deeper then the surface n if ur mind is dat limited to not be able to comprehend what is the core of his music then maybe you don’t even deserve to listen to it…everyone of his mixtapes were tuff and his album is tuff…why does shoestrings spelling out his name gotta be a gimmick? why can’t it just be creative? he’s a sneakerhead therefore his name is spelled out wit laces explain how that is a gimmick? he is an up and coming rapper he is not widely known….he gets a lot of recongnition for his sense of style y does that matter? u can see documentries of almost anything how does that make you more gangsta? lolz smh….there’s a bunch of white pplz from oakland too lmfao….ever heard of oakland hills? sure oakland is known as a bad area and to have ghettos by why is that something to be proud of? I use to be poor and I’m happy i’m out of that state I’m happy I’m in an area where you don’t have to worry about being robbed or your car being broken into….on top of everything its really not dat bad out there lolz…yall hoods got pickit fences and sprinkler systems and apparently internet access and pplz who comment blog sites lolz…. the only thing I cannot aruge wit you about is yall have some of the best kush lolz….but the best stuff was down So Cal anyway lolz…

    Cuda- u are just a wale hop on hater every blog wit wale u have to comment somethign about how wack wale is….how wack are you for always commenting on everything wale is in?

    C-Ray- DMV STAND UP! dats how we do it man…don’t nobody really know how it is out here….pplz don’t want to live in the hood and here about da hood all the time….hip hop aint got nuffin to do wit being gangsta its music….I feel you on everything you were saying mane
