If you’re a sneakerhead, this is your paradise. Sole Slam 9

What a nice way to end your weekend with Sole Slam 9, that has just concluded their most recent Sneaker Convention held at The World Trade Center Manila in Pasay City, and this is their 9th trade convention in just 5 years.

Powcast.net was able to witness this historic event as everyone who loves sneakers copped their own pairs. There were lots of kicks of different varieties from retros to original releases. Celebrities, music artists and models have gathered to show support to the scene where they have a lot in common, hence the term Sneakerheads.

Sneakerheads, doesn’t necessarily mean that they buy shoes just because they want one. Every sneakerhead or collectors base their interest on kicks depending on its story, origin, price and also who wore it and what happened during that era. It is not a cheap hobby, and I’m telling you, it will take alot of 13th month pays just to have one pair of the most expensive kicks like the Yeezys in particular. But what’s important for these sneakerheads or sneaker collectors is that there is this one event that recognizes how passionate they are in copping and rocking these kicks and beyond that, an event that lets every sneakerhead meet and share information, there’s no doubt that Sole Slam is the best event that supports local and foreign brands of kicks and showcases how passionate these sneakerheads are with their hobby, an event that makes the sneaker society grow and be known by the masses.
