Final weekend, BOSSIP’s Social Media Supervisor, Char Masona took a visit to Brooklyn, the house of the Nets, to rejoice basketball and sneaker tradition in honor of the launch of a sneaker-inspired automobile, the Nissan Kicks.
Take a look at a little bit of her expertise beneath:
Brooklyn is all the time enjoyable for the brunches and meals, however this specific journey was much more particular as a result of I bought to expertise March Insanity for the primary time. I’m positively a “go sports activities” sort of lady, however I’ve all the time seen the annual pleasure round NCAA basketball so I used to be wanting ahead to experiencing it firsthand.
The primary cease was the 1 Resort Brooklyn Bridge to verify in earlier than heading to the Barclays Middle for not one however two NCAA March Insanity basketball video games. We weren’t given a daily area seat, we watched every recreation from probably the most luxurious view of a collection. Duke College’s Blue Devils earned a victory within the first recreation in opposition to the Vermont Catamounts. Within the second recreation, James Madison College took house the win in a 72-61 recreation in opposition to the College of Wisconsin.
Regardless that we had been in a collection, the excessive vitality was felt all through the sector as gamers had been boo’d throughout free throws by followers of the opposing crew. It was additionally onerous to overlook the intense dance strikes carried out by crowd individuals on the jumbotron. The love of basketball goes past the NBA, and followers of the NCAA make their presence recognized – and they don’t play about supporting their favourite crew, by any means essential. Even when you already know nothing about basketball and select to attend sports activities actions merely for the plot — March Insanity followers will reel you in with their electrical enthusiasm.
The get together didn’t finish after the sport, there was an entire lot extra motion on day 2. Since we had been in Brooklyn, the house of many sneakerheads, we took just a little journey to Additional Butter streetwear boutique.
New York basically is for the style gworls and sneakers are a should when strolling across the Huge Apple. As a heel lady myself, belief me, sneakers are your buddy within the large metropolis. Additional Butter’s sneaker choices had been infinite with numerous pairs starting from Air Jordan 1s to Nike Air Max. They even had the Adidas Spezia, my new fave — which I discovered will not be the identical issues as Sambas, however right here’s to discovering new issues!
All in all, it was a pleasure to participate in such a significant American cultural occasion like March Insanity whereas concurrently diving into the sneaker world, one other Black cultural phenomenon.
Thanks, Nissan, for the unforgettable expertise!
