Sneaker Con, the world’s premier event for sneaker enthusiasts to buy, sell, and trade their shoe collections, is landing on our shores from 20th to 21st June 2020 at Marina Bay Sands Exhibition Halls E and F. Since its inception, Sneaker Con has held over 100 events in over 40 cities worldwide, drawing more than 100,000 sneakerheads from near and far to a gathering that celebrates a love for rare kicks.
Touted as “The Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth”, the inaugural Southeast Asian Sneaker Con will be the world’s biggest sneaker conference to date, with an expected attendance of 30,000 guests and over 180 vendors. It will also be the first global event to target multiple markets simultaneously. With a surge of sneakerheads around the region, fans from Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and the rest of Southeast Asia, can finally get their hands on coveted footwear at Sneaker Con Southeast Asia.
IMG, together with our partners Alan Vinogradov, Co-Founder of Sneaker Con, and the rest of the Sneaker Con team, is thrilled to bring Sneaker Con to Singapore. Being the inaugural event here in Southeast Asia, we hope to connect people from all over the region through a common passion for sneakers.
