Leading online sneaker marketplace Ox Street has teamed up with sneaker retailer Sneaksurf to open a pop-up store at Culture Cartel, Singapore’s highly-anticipated street culture convention.
The pop up store is Japanese “Wabi-Sabi” themed, an aesthetic worldview that celebrates imperfection and aligns with Ox Street’s efforts to promote sustainability within the sneaker resale market. A selection of recent sneaker releases and second-hand sneakers that have been authenticated by Ox Street will be available for purchase.
Ox Street founder and CEO Gijs Verheijke added that “every scar and every scuff has a story and gives the shoes more character”.
“Buying pre-loved is a great concept as you are not only keeping shoes out of landfills, but it is also economical as used pairs can go as low as 50-% or even as much as 70% off brand new. With a generation of people who care about the environment and enjoy thrifting, we think Culture Cartel is a great moment to celebrate sustainability”.
Culture Cartel attendees can visit the Ox Street pop-up store to access a variety of products instantly available for pick-up. Pre-verified sneakers will be available for purchase on the spot. For visitors that are unable to find their size at the pop-up store, Ox Street’s marketplace will provide full selections that can be delivered to the buyer’s home at a later date.
The event will run from 1 December to 4 December at *SCAPE Singapore. Several raffles will also be held over the course of Culture Cartel, where visitors are given the chance to win an exclusive pair of sneakers.
