Crepe City 5…if you didn’t reach, you seriously flopped!
After being with the CC guys for the past 4 events, the sneaker event has grown from strength to strength each time, and this one was ram jam indeedy! With an increase in sneaker freakers, streetwear brands and some rather dope lookin’ individuals, the vibes were straight freshhhhhhhh!
Was fortunate enough to meet a fresh sneakerette in the scene going by the name of ‘Magz’ (she in the below pic on the far right…quite possibly the nicest woman in the game, her passion is ALOT, look out for her!) who creates silhouettes of various Nike shoes by laser cutting different materials leaving a clean aesthetic…defo gonna be hooking up with her for some crazy collab!…
5 fresh pairs of ‘Mouthy Kicks’ (actual Nike’s Dunk Lo’s on canvas) complete with easels and presentation box will be available to buy at Crepe City later on today…would highly recommend arriving early and bring a healthy amount of cash, you gonna want everything trust me!
Charlton School…I came…I saw young people get mad creative…I conquered in my own special way!
After completing artwork on a variety surface’s including t-shirts, caps, spray cans, and canvases, we wrapped up the 6 weeks with a final ‘Olympics’ inspired canvas designed entirely by the young people…which was random to say the least, but hey, they had fun and that’s what it’s all about…
It’s always a pleasure interacting with such diverse personalities and seeing individuals come out their shell and expose their artistic talent through their artwork…the best part though was the jokes, too many funny characters/moments to mention…jokes n creativeness is a healthy mix!…
It’s that time of the year again folks, when sneakerheads across the land come together to buy/swap/sell fresh kicks at Crepe City 5, London’s very own sneaker festival run by three of the coolest cats, Rons/Victor/Paul.
