Crepe City, Europe’s largest sneaker and lifestyle festival, is set to make its way to Birmingham in what is set to be an unmissable occasion for sneakerheads in the Midlands. The event is set to take place on the 3rd of August, playing host to some of the UK’s leading resellers.
Crepe City will be returning to NEC Arena for the festival, taking over the space with their plethora of elite resellers and immersive activities. This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the brand, which started from humble beginnings in 2009 by founder Ronal Raichura in a Notting Hill basement, hosting around 100 people. Now we can expect sneaker and fashion enthusiasts to turn up in their thousands for an engaging celebration of streetwear culture.
The festival has teamed up with brands who will be giving event goers the opportunity to get their hands on exclusive items. Crep Protect will be offering a sneaker cleaning service as well as an opportunity to win some high value pairs through their keymaster machine, ShoeStack will give fans the chance to win some goodies with a display box activation, while Slick Gorilla will be giving away some of their high quality hair care products.
There will also be an appearance from Garmentz Lab. the leading Stone Island and CP Company vendor in the UK who will be hosting an archive pop up. They will be joined by Golazzo, who specialise in archive football shirts.
Crepe City will also be teaming up with The Sole Supplier for the event, who will become the official stage partner. Speaking on this role, Sole Supplier stated:
“The Sole Supplier is excited to become the official stage partner for Birmingham, marking our 10th anniversary with exclusive giveaways on a first come, first served basis. Our stage takeover will feature “Guess The Sneaker Live”, plus we’ll be capturing the best fits and sneakers for our TikTok and Insta, showcasing the event to our 1.2 million followers. Be part of the ultimate sneaker festival experience!”
In what is set to be one of the largest celebrations of sneaker culture in the UK with over 200 vendors taking part, Crepe City is focussed on creating an interactive, inclusive experience for everyone to enjoy. Whether people want to get their hands on the rarest of kicks or just want to network with like minded streetwear enthusiasts, there should be something for everyone on the 3rd of August.
