Stock Up on New Kicks + Get Old Pairs Cleaned: What to Expect at This Makati Sneaker Festival
SneakerFest 2023 runs from May 4 to May 7.
(SPOT.ph) We said it once, and we'll say it again. Sneakerheads, you better head over to Glorietta in Makati City starting tomorrow, May 4 to 7 if you don't want to miss out on the chances of scoring cool new kicks, getting your old pairs cleaned and customized, and more at the SneakerFest 2023, aka the "biggest sneaker event this summer." It's going to be a sneakerhead's wonderland, that's for sure.
Check out the cool things at Glorietta's SneakerFest 2023:
The latest and freshest kicks are up for grabs and at discounted prices
Your fave sneaker brands will be under one roof—think Vans, Puma, and World Balance, DC, as well as Sole Academy and Philippine Sneaker Exchange. You can spot Vans' off-the-wall (pun intended) collaboration with Haribo, the Vans x Haribo Classic Slip-ons, at the event plus more sought-after and hard-to-find pairs that your sneaker collection needs. And to make things more exciting—for your wallets, at least—you can even score kicks with special offers and discounts.
Check out some of the pairs (and apparel!) you can keep an eye out for at the event:
Walk through an exhibit of BigBoy Cheng's personal collection
Sneakerheads have longed for Christian "BigBoy" Cheng's shelves upon shelves of rare Jordans and Nikes, rare collabs, and really, just his vast, growing collection of expensive and limited pieces as seen through his coffee table book Hypefather—well, you'll get to have a closer look at some of his favorite pieces through an exhibit by SecretFresh at the event.
We spotted one-of-one pairs in glass boxes on the wall: bespoke Nike Air Force 1s, as well as limited-edition, kicks like the Nike Dunk High Fragment x City Pack - London, Nike Dunk High DJ AM, Levi's Limited Edition Nike Air Max 90 ID, among others.

Get your old kicks a good ol' scrub-down
If you've been putting off cleaning your kicks, just bring them to this Rems booth for some tender love and care. They deserve it (just as much as you deserve new kicks) for their service. You can even buy a complete cleaning pack for P1,500, which is also avaible online.
Leave a mark on this paint-by-numbers mural wall
Everyone can take part in painting this big SneakerFest mural—if there are any spots and spaces left to paint left (so better hurry). Just think of it as leaving your mark in this one-of-a-kind event, on top of bringing home a fresh pair of kicks.
Feasts your eyes on artworks from young local artists
If you want to take a breather from all the sneaker shopping, you can check out the artworks of local artists JP Pining, Chase, and Nemo Aguila in a dedicated space in the Creator's Curb.
SneakerFest 2023 is happening at Glorietta Activity Center, Glorietta 2, Makati City.
