It might be dubbed a sneaker summit, but you don’t need a fetish for footwear to enjoy Sole DXB, the street-culture celebration that will open the new Dubai Design District this weekend (November 14-15).
Boasting an edgy mix of live music, art and sport – and plenty of trendy trainers – the two-day event will be the first one to be hosted at the new creative hub in Al Quoz, making it a double celebration for organisers.
Stop by on Friday or Saturday and you might see skateboarders showing off tricks, aerosol artists in action, fiery street-basketball games on the courts or B-boys spinning on the floor to basslines dropped by hip-hop DJs.
The thing these cultures all have in common? Trainers.
“There are all these different elements that contribute to street culture across the world,” says the Sole DXB co-founder Joshua Cox, “and Dubai is such a multicultural city that we want to represent all these elements as much as possible. We might wear a suit to work – but on weekends we all wear sneakers and denim.”
The concept of a festival based around footwear was the brainchild of a group of four trainer lovers who wanted to share their craze (and shoe collections) with the world.
