WELCOME AREA
From Sneaker to Culture
Step into the history of sneaker culture. This fully enveloping storyboard mural brings you through the deep, multi-faceted journey - from the first Converse All Stars in 1917 to the debut of the first Jordans in 1984 to the prevalence of limited edition retailers and resellers of today. Once inside the mural, you will notice a sketch of a 1980s retro TV set light up with an intro video that visually narrates the transition of sneaker to culture.
Artists: David Kaul (Mural) and Ben Fearnley (Video)

THE PLAYGROUND
Sneakers x Sports
Step into a collection of street courts showcasing some of the most important sports heroes in sneaker history. Sneaker culture actually begins in the sports world, with the first collaboration between Chuck Taylor and Converse in 1922. Since then, professional athletes have led the way in pushing the technology, fashion and culture of sneakers forward. This is form meets function at its finest.

THE FESTIVAL
Sneakers x Music
Step into a sneakerhead festival, flanked by three stages honoring some of the greatest musician collaborations in sneaker history. Sneaker culture experienced a pivotal moment when thousands of Run DMC fans held their Adidas during the group’s ‘My Adidas’ performance at Madison Square Garden. This set the stage for a continuing lineup of some of the most influential sneaker and album drops in history.

THE BACKLOT
Sneakers x Film
Step into satirical scenes of some of the most significant moments and trends at the intersection of sneakers and entertainment. Film has been instrumental in moving sneaker culture towards the future; Marty McFly’s Nike Mags are now a reality (and some of the most expensive collectible sneakers on the market). Video games are now fueling the next generation of sneakerheads, with players designing, wearing and selling their own shoes as digital currency.

THE ART & SOLE GALLERY
Sneakers x Art
Step into a gallery featuring artists who have infused their passion for sneakers into their body of work, from custom kicks to sneaker sculptures. In the 1980s, sneaker culture and a new generation of artists grew up together. This has resulted in a great interplay between art and sneakers. The sneaker has become both the canvases and the subject matter for a new genre of pop art.
Artists: Kickstradomis, Stomping Ground Customs, Katty Customs, Smoluk, Ron Bass, Mimi Yoon, Andrew Lewis

THE FRUGAL POP-UP
Sneakers x Streetwear
Step into a parody pop-up and start window shopping; if Supreme and Flight Club had a baby, this would be their room. Streetwear and sneaker collaborations have not only amplified the attention given to the culture, but have also increased the re-sale prices. Along with the limited edition format of release, this has fueled a strong secondary market, where sneakers become an art investment.

THE DREAM ROOM
Sneakers x Imagination
Step into the luxurious living room of a lifelong sneakerhead, the bookend to the teenage sneakerhead’s bedroom. As the culture has grown, so has the perception and value of the sneaker - as a piece of art, as an investment, as a symbol of luxury. Collectors have sneaker vaults to house their prized possessions, online auctions allow individuals to resell sneakers globally, while fine art auctions set record sneaker sales.
