From October 10 to 12, the Tae Kwon Do Indoor Stadium in Palaio Faliro will transform into the ultimate playground for sneakerheads, street culture enthusiasts, and anyone who lives for the rhythm of the city.
Whether you’re chasing rare sneaker drops, vibing with live hip hop, watching jaw-dropping skate tricks, or shooting hoops in streetball battles, Sneakerness Athens promises three days packed with energy, creativity, and community.
Still on the fence? Here are five reasons you can’t miss it:
Concerts & DJ Sets
Music is the heartbeat of Sneakerness. Expect vinyl-spun grooves from Time Flies, urban beats from Kafka, and street sounds by Black Athena. Headlining the live acts is hip hop powerhouse Kareem Kalokoh, joined by rising talents GXHAN, Twelvee (Wake N Bake), and Indra. And when the lights dim on Saturday, the legendary mobile party crew Dievers will throw down the first-ever Sneakerness After Party—set to go down in festival history.
Collectible Sneakers
More than 50 exhibitors will showcase carefully curated collections and limited-edition releases. Local legends like Fuel, Sole Athens, OG Market, Drip Athens, and Hood Kicks will bring exclusive drops, rare collaborations, and OG gems you won’t find anywhere else. Over 35 Greek streetwear brands will also hit the Sneakerness Marketplace, while international guest Dennis Mazur (Sneakerdenn) is bringing 15 of the rarest pairs from his private archive.
Skateboarding Action
The festival hosts the 3rd Greek Skateboarding Championship, complete with rails and ramps built for high-octane tricks. Top skaters from across the country will push the limits, serving up inspiration for pros and fans alike.
Street Basketball Showdowns
Twelve teams will battle it out in group and knockout rounds, bringing NBA Street vibes to Athens. Fans can test their own skills in the 3-Point Challenge and Clutch Challenge, with prizes from PAMESTOIXIMA and DAYS. Plus, Hood Kicks teams up with content creator Antonis Kalagatsis for the ultimate 1v1 showdown: King of the Court.
Experiences for Everyone
Sneakerness Athens isn’t just an event—it’s an all-around experience. Highlights include the McLaren Formula 1 Simulator Zone, interactive games, airbrush tattoos, sneaker customization workshops, photo booths, sneaker battles, calisthenics showcases, quizzes, challenges, and plenty more that guarantee memories to last long after the weekend ends.
