So I arrive at Wembley Park tube station and stand at the top of the stairs leading down to Olympic Way, I just stand there and absorb the energy coming off the many sneaker enthusiast on their way to Boxpark. So many different types of sneakers, different colours, makes and styles, but unique to that individual In the way they’ve decided to rock them In terms of outfit and style.
As I get to the entrance I start to see familiar faces within the community, it’s always a great thing to connect with the Instagram sneaker family, it’s quite overwhelming how many people already know of and follow the JMJ IG feed. The words of encouragement are massive, it’s always nice to hear that there Is appreciation for what you’re doing.
I Know I go on about the camaraderie a lot at this event but it’s such a breath of fresh air to see so many welcoming faces, all willing to give their time and stand for a pic or chat sneakers and support the work were doing to celebrate sneakers, but more importantly the work we’re doing to celebrate the people that love sneakers, we like to focus on the users of the products.
Weather your there to cop a few bits, or make change from selling kicks, or if you was there to soak up the sneakers love and connect with your fellow sneakerheads this was the spot to be Sunday 8th May 2022.
Thanks to all that I managed to spend some time with and thank each and every person that showed up and brought that positive energy that Boxpark was filled up with.
