This is how Texas does it BIG. During Sunday, April 17th, we travel to San Antonio to be apart of Sneaks Up 5, one of TX biggest sneaker show. And as expected from a great sneaker event, a lot of Texas sneaker collectors gathered all around to showcase their sneaker collections. Some used regular booths, tables and cloths to display, while some sneaker crews showed their great Texas-sized pride through their creative ingenuity in their sneaker display.
One thing you can count on from the Sneaks Up community is the great effort to bringing something new and different to street-culture, and for us, it just meant we were blessed to be a part of history in this growing culture.
Here’s some photo of the evening of all the cool sneakers I could grab a photo of during the evening for your viewing pleasure.
PS: I will be doing another Sneaks Up write-up covering all the cool folks and brands that were at Sneaks Up, so stay-tuned for that.
That’s Jerry of Jerry Rockit, Norm Dawson, Co-creator of Sneaks Up, Mike of Remixlabel, and of course the Loyal K.N.G. crew (Tony and Thien) enjoying the evening out on the porch as the Sneaks Up5 show closes up after a long, but successful day.
Remember when I mentioned “Great Texas-sized pride“? Well, here’s what I was referring to, Fort Worth TX’s Heat Seeker Krews‘ amazing sneaker display.
As you can see, it’s a giant wooden cut-out of TEXAS being used as a beautiful sneaker display. Nothing shows more love for sneakers, Texas, hard-work, and creativity than a project this big. And if you thought this was what there were all to it from the Heat Seeker Krew, you’ve got it wrong…
…Because the HSK camp even brought out the extra punch with the letters “FTW” (For the win) carved out of wood to display even more sneakers from each members of the krew.
Are we done yet? Nah… There’s more.
After an hour into the Sneaks Up 5 show, the entire Heat Seekers Krew unveiled their largest and final surprise for the evening, their ridiculous Bespokes Nike collection.
I know, I know, my jaw dropped too.
Crazy. All these delicious sneakers all served up like gourmet at a french restaurant.
Heat Seekers Krew (most of the krew, but not all) in the flesh! We have starting from the right, Samcolt12, Akuma471, sz16assassins, and Cfails54.
Shout outs goes to HSK for putting together the BEST display at Sneaks Up 5.
Deadstock setup at SU5 is a great way to let the folks know the crew in a very direct way via cardboard cut-out counterparts of their-selves.
From here on out I’ll just post up tons of photos from the evening that I grabbed of all the rare, exclusive sneakers gathered from all the collectors around Texas:
