Sneakerheads rejoice! The annual Sneaker Gala is coming back to the Detroit Shipping Company, set to bring sneaker enthusiasts together for a night of style and celebration. Attendees are encouraged to showcase their favorite kicks, whether that be Jordans, Yeezys, or just classic Converse. The event promises a dynamic atmosphere featuring music, dance, and promotional giveaways. There will also be contests for the best dressed and best sneakers. Tickets come with a welcome drink, raffles, and the opportunity to contribute to the “Lace-up Detroit Foundation,” as a portion of ticket sales will be allocated to support the cause. Tickets are on sale for $45 on Eventbrite, but you can use code “SNEAKER” for 50% off.
