Our
old-school survivors do what they must to stay alive in the new New York. To that end,
there is now a custom Nike sneaker designed around a Katz's Delicatessen theme.
The one-of-a-kind sneakers have been laser etched by an outfit called
Absolelute, and feature images of Katz's, along with a fork and spoon motif. The famous Katz's ticket is reproduced inside. (See more at
Nicekicks.)
They can't be purchased, however. You have to enter to win them by going to
The Space, a new pop-up gallery next to Katz's, and taking a photo of them, which you then post at the places where such photos are posted (Twitter or Instagram), and include one of two notations, either @thespaceatkatzs or #katzs125.
I seriously doubt I could pull off this look, but I am tempted to enter. In addition, the sneakers come in a special wooden box filled with sawdust and salami.
