Sneaker Pimps is the world’s largest touring sneaker hip-hop lifestyle exhibition and this Friday’s show in New York City is shaping up to be the biggest yet.

Featuring over 1000 pairs of rare, limited edition, vintage, celebrity signed, artist-collaborated sneakers and a collection of sneaker inspired artwork plus fashion and photography, the show is an exhaustive tribute to dedicated sneakerheads. There are also street art installations, skateboarding demonstrations, street basketball competitions and live performances, with the upcoming show headlined by hip-hop’s current critical darling Kendrick Lamar plus Stalley, Phil Ade and more.
