Cash Only Sample Sale

A look back at a 2009 cash-only sample sale and the streetwear shopping scene. The original flyer is no longer available in the archive.

Back in 2009, sample sales were a great way for streetwear fans to find clothing, footwear and hard-to-find pieces outside the usual retail lineup. The key reminder with this one was right in the name: cash only — come prepared with cash before heading out.

This post is part of The NA Times’ archive of the streetwear, sneaker and shopping scene from 2009. The original event flyer and its details are no longer available from the archived image link, so dates, venue, participating brands and prices have not been reconstructed or guessed.

For collectors and fans, sample-sale notices like this captured the word-of-mouth side of streetwear culture: limited quantities, sample pieces and the chance to discover something different.
