(SPOT.ph) As a sneakerhead, chances are where there are sneakers, you're not too far behind or you're one of the first people present. We're with you, especially if said pairs are the latest drops or the sought-after ones which you can expect at this upcoming sneaker festival in Glorietta. Yup, it's time to lace up for the "biggest sneaker event this summer": Sneakerfest 2023.

Here's what to expect at this sneakerfest in Glorietta:
We already know that Glorietta has become a haven for sneaker enthusiasts and casual lovers alike with all the sneaker stores inside the mall. Still, they're serving the sneaker community with so much more with this four-day affair, which is described as "a celebration of the sneaker culture, style, and innovation." The Sneakerfest 2023 will run from May 4 to 7 at the Glorietta Activity Center.
The latest and freshest kicks from Puma, Vans, Sole Academy, World Balance, and Philippine Sneaker Exchange are available for grabs at the event. You can also check out pieces from DJ and collector BigBoy Cheng's personal collection (we've all longed for his shelves upon shelves of rare Jordans and Nikes, plus rare collabs as seen through his coffee table book Hypefather, which, you can have signed, too) via an exhibit by Secret Fresh. No, we aren't kidding. Here's your chance to see these babies firsthand.
You can even go through the artworks of featured artists: JP Pining, Nemo Aguila, and Chase.
If you're a sneakerhead who loves coffee, well you're in luck because, on May 4, you can get a free cup of coffee (not that your heart needs to beat any quicker) when you purchase from the fair.
And hey, if you aren't up for new kicks (which is highly unlikely) and just want to get your old pairs a good 'ol scrub-down and much-needed TLC, you can have them cleaned at the festival on May 5. If it's not cleaning you need but a complete makeover—you know, for that pizzaz—have your pairs customized on May 6.
They won't go out without a bang, of course. On the last day, May 7, expect special offers and big discounts at the fair. To get you more excited, check out what went down during last year's Sneakerfest:
