European streetwear, sneaker convention comes to South Africa

Sneakerness already has a global following with events taking place in Berlin, Cologne, Amsterdam, Paris, Moscow, Warsaw and Zurich.

The convention in November will offer limited edition merchandise, as well as a series of workshops, launches and talks from the world’s best footwear and streetwear brands. International brands and major sneaker stores, as well as private sellers and collectors from all over the world, will come together to buy, sell and swap footwear and street fashion, from classic and real rarities, to the newest trends in street culture. Alongside the finest sneaker vendors, visitors will experience (street) art, graffiti, music, as well as good food and drinks.
