With the rise of popularity in sneakers becoming evident on the global scale, we’ve experienced an increase in the frequency of ‘sneaker events’ around the world. Whether it’s a massive gathering of thousands like the most recent Sneaker Con Miami, or a more concentrated grouping like Sneakersmarket in Milan, the influence of sneakers can be felt everywhere, and there’s nothing you can do to fight it! It’s always a treat to view firsthand the sneaker scene in a region thousands of miles away, so let’s a take a closer look at Sneakersmarket Spring 2012; running shoes and vintage heat galore, with a surprising amount of Air Jordans (these Euro-centric events don’t feature the Jumpman that strongly). Peep some of the best of the event below, and check out FnG for a full recap.
