Top-5 brands of sneakers
Sneaker Day by Snapthatback
On June 24, 2018, a groundbreaking event centered around sneakers took place in the city!
It was a long-awaited gathering in Kyiv that successfully brought together the city's most passionate sneakerheads. The entire affair unfolded at the iconic DOM venue, where the perfect fusion of communication, music, and, of course, sneakers took place!
Among the many like-minded individuals, sneakerheads, and simply guests who care about what you wear, speakers were also invited to deliver special lectures on various topics.
The first lecture was delivered by the founders of Snapthatback store, Nazar Fedorivskyi and Ilia Tkachenko.
Topic: Snapthatback – the journey of establishment. It was a highly personalized story about how, why, and what we accomplished.
Next to speak were Anatoliy Voropaev and Lisa Fair from the HoodFamous team, who specialize in professional and unique shoe customization.
Topic: "The culture of shoe customization, customization in Ukraine." It was a topic that is rarely discussed or find information about on the internet.
The third important guest at the event was Michael Kachan and his extensive sneaker collection.
Topic: "SNEAKERLOVE". A discussion on the global and local love for sneakers and how to build a collection.
Lastly, but certainly not least, the event featured Alexey Meh as a speaker, who has knowledge in brand collaborations and in-depth understanding of significant projects.
Topic: "OFF-WHITE x Nike The TEN - what's the hype?". A discussion about the collaborative project between Nike and Virgil Abloh, the founder of Off-White, exploring its reimagined design and how to interpret it.
You can check out the vibrant video report below, featuring highlights from the lectures, interviews with guests, and a Q&A session on the topic of sneakerhead slang:
Of course, just by talking alone, it won't be enough. A gathering is not a real gathering unless you finish it off with a tasty set of the right degree of old-school hip-hop from SEMPAI. Overall, that's what we did.
The event turned out incredibly awesome, and it all happened thanks to our amazing speakers, venue, and of course, it wouldn't have been complete without our cool guests!
