INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Calling all sneakerheads, the Sneaker Travel Conference is making a stop right here in the Indianapolis area.
SNKR Culture, a traveling sneaker convention, is hosting its convention at the Farmers Bank Fieldhouse in Lebanon on Saturday.
Sneaker enthusiasts will have the opportunity to buy, sell and even trade shoes, apparel and accessories on Saturday.
The conference was started by local sneakerhead Devin Faulkner. Faulkner, a Greenwood native, told News 8 he started his conference five years ago. He has made stops here in Indy, Chicago, Louisville and other cities.
Beyond shoes, organizers say it brings people with a similar love for shoes together under one roof. “It involves a lot of different ages and demographics. You can sit there, but you can sell and trade and enjoy what you love to do and make money as well,” Faulkner said.
The event itself runs from noon to 5pm on Saturday. Faulkner says there are expected to be at least 80 different vendors.
Tickets are available online or at the door for $20. You can find information on where to purchase tickets here.
