Puma Clyde’s accompanied the genesis of B-Boy culture in the Bronx and Starbury’s tried to initiate an affordable sneaker revolution, but another New York Knick is doing something else with sneakers. Lance Thomas isn’t selling them—he’s giving them away.
And he got other people to do the same. Thomas, alongside Knicks guard Damyean Dotson, orchestrated a sneaker drive at Sneakersnstuff in New York’s Meatpacking District. Friends and fans chummed it up with Thomas and Dotson, taking pictures and receiving autographs, and donated over 500 pairs of new and lightly worn sneakers, all of which went to the New York City Department of Homeless Services.
