  Nicely done. Was about 75% done when I worked out the theme, which is just right I think

    Same, it took almost til the end for me! At first I was rebus-ing ZERO into all the Z boxes, but it still wasn't quite adding up until I looked at the rest of the acrosses and saw that ERO was already there! Very fun and well-executed.

    The joke was supposed to be that sneakerheads (folks into collecting sneakers) are into "gazing at shoes", hence they'd be into SHOEGAZE

      Whoosh. Never heard of shoegaze, didn't even register as a word in my brain!

  Very enjoyable! Penny didn’t drop until the last 10 squares filled in.

    Thanks! I remember it taking some time to find themers that weren’t duplicative
