SXC is where sneaker collectors and aficionados can buy, sell, or trade sneakers, as well as buy locally and internationally produced apparel and footwear, it is more than a product expo as it also adds live music, activations, and entertainment to the mix. SXC is set to take place at the Cape Town Cruise Terminal, V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on Saturday on the 28th of April 2018 from 11am to 7pm.
Founder and co-director of SXC, Zaid Osman, is one of South Africa’s most notable sneaker collectors and aficionados.
“The whole premise of the event is that it’s about sharing the love of a culture few people know about or understand,” says Osman. “I created this event so that I could share my passion for sneakers with others and so we welcome anyone and everyone to Sneaker Exchange.” said Osman.
SXC has traditionally been the ideal platform for local and global sneaker brands to showcase their latest designs and activate consumer-facing campaigns. However, Osman ensures that wherever SXC events are held that local apparel and footwear brands are offered the opportunity to showcase and sell their designs, too. “There’s no denying that big-name and global brands will always hold a certain appeal, but it’s time South Africa rallies behind and supports local designers just as passionately,” adds co-director of SXC, Tebogo Mogola who joined forces with Osman in 2015.
Pre-sale tickets are available online for R80 per person, and R100 at the door.
Tickets for the Cape Town SXC are available at Computicket.
