On the 24th of September at the renovated Cape Town station, STR.CRD.CPT kicking it with Sportscene puts a hi-top between hoops and hip-hop, mashes up skateboarding, break-dancing and beats, alongside pop-up stores featuring the latest ranges from top international sneaker and street-wear brands.
Bringing you the ultimate homage to urban fashion’s ultimate accessory: the sneaker, STR.CRD.CPT kicking it with Sportscene hosts international sneaker icons: sneaker expert - Bobbito Garcia, London based sneaker customiser - Alex Nash also know as Nash Money and Los Angeles hip-hop trendsetter and founder of Frolab - ShuChef.
As South Africa’s first-ever sneaker-head showcase, this daylong event brought to you by Project Freeagent starts at 12:00PM and features workshops, b-boy and skateboarding competitions, graffiti installations, live performances and South Africa’s first sneaker swap meet.
Renowned for his signature moc-stitch: a painstaking craft that has set him apart from other customiser’s, Alex Nash will share his admiration for the panels and innovations that left him with a shoe addiction and take you behind the scenes of his collaborations with brands such as Nike, DC, Lacoste and New Era.
World-famous DJ and critically acclaimed author of Where’d you get those? New York’s sneaker culture 1960 – 1987, Bobbito Garcia, aka Kool Bob Love of New York’s Rock Steady B-boy crew, will not only hit the decks as the headline act, but also host a book signing and talk about the history of sneakers.
