Sneaker Summit Worldwide - For People Who Love Sneakers

“The biggest sneaker convention in the country” by FUSE

From its humble beginnings in local Houston, TX sports bars, Sneaker Summit quickly grew to become the world’s largest community based sneaker event. After outgrowing nightclubs and concert halls in a only short number of years, the event began to make history. In January 2011, Sneaker Summit became the first ever sneaker and fashion event to be held in a professional sports arena, the Toyota Center, also known as the home of the Houston Rockets NBA franchise. The following year, in 2012, the event moved to the more spacious and historic NRG Park, also known as the former home of the Houston Oilers, Houston Astros, 1968 MLB All-Star Game, 1989 NBA All-Star Game, Super Bowl XXXVIII and LI, the current home of the Houston Texans NFL franchise. Most recently, in 2013, Sneaker Summit began hosting the All-Star Sneaker Summit during the most celebrated weekend in footwear — NBA All Star weekend. Shortly afterwards, Sneaker Summit was praised as “The biggest sneaker convention in the country” by FUSE TV as well as one of “50 Moments That Changed Sneaker Culture Forever” by COMPLEX Sneakers.
