Art of Sneakers Vol. 3 🎨👟
For Oakland Style Week, we activated a vacant, ex-shoe store and filled it with a pop up art exhibition highlighting sneaker designers, customizers and all around sneaker artists from the Bay Area 🌉 and beyond 🌍. The exhibition only lasted the weekend but we are building a community of sneakerheads and artists and bringing this artform into the spotlight where it belongs. Stay on the lookout for more events coming from our leader @solespacelab the incredible creative mind that has elevated sneaker culture in Oakland with a focus on Upcycling, Recreation and Sustainability.

Also big shoutout to @bruceleefoundation for the generous loans of these rare Bruce Lee Kicks and Raffle Items. The show wouldn’t have been the same without that touch from one of the greatest of all time!

And the @valkyries for their collaboration on the SneakHER design workshop which was featured as well!

Art of Sneakers will be back!
