For the third straight year, the Victoria Park Leisurelife Centre was the vibrant venue for The Kickz Stand‘s “It’s More Than Just Sneakers” lifestyle event tour, making its exciting return to the West Coast. Despite the less-than-ideal weather, the turnout was fantastic, with everyone coming out to show their support and love for the community.
It was incredibly rewarding to see a mix of new faces signing up and joining us as vendors for this year’s event. Their enthusiasm and fresh perspectives added a lot of energy to the day. At the same time, it was heartwarming to see so many familiar faces who consistently back the tour and help it grow. Vendors showcased an impressive array of streetwear and garments, but the true highlight was the sneakers—classics, runners, SBs, designers, hoops, and grails. If it was a sought-after sneaker, it was there!
We had originally planned a basketball tournament for the day, but unfortunately, we had to postpone it due to some unexpected issues. However, we’re not leaving you hanging—The Kickz Stand and a certain someone from the Perth crew are already cooking up something special to make up for it, so keep an eye out for updates!
The giveaways from our sponsors were a huge hit once again, and the raffle prize pool was nothing short of impressive. The excitement and joy were palpable throughout the event, and it was fantastic to see friends reconnect and new friendships being formed.
A massive thank you to our generous sponsors for their unwavering support and contributions. Your involvement is a big part of what makes these events so special.
