We’re excited to share that our first ‘It’s More Than Just Sneakers’ (IMTJS) event hit Singapore! The debut IMTJS event in the Lion City went down on August 24th and was all about an intimate gathering with some awesome local vendors showing off their stuff.
Hosted by the cool streetwear and sneaker spot ABSNC, the event kicked off at 3 PM. It was the first time guests got to dive into what an IMTJS event is all about. They checked out streetwear from brands like Supreme and Dr Denim at the ABSNC store. The new TKS x Cosmonauts collab tee dropped at the event, and if you weren’t early, you missed out—the whole limited release sold out within the first hour! Cosmonauts also rolled out their new line of tees and hoodies, which were a big hit with everyone.
Local artists Jeremy Tanavit and Ebao were also there showing off their latest work. Jeremy’s JEM toy range, including the new ‘Fanta Red’ colourway, was up for grabs. Ebao, who’s teamed up with TKS before, brought his urban art to the table with his new clothing line, floor mats, and coasters. If you haven’t checked out their work, definitely take a look at their socials.
There were also some cool collectibles on display and for sale. Ben from Sneakers Clinic brought his Pokémon card collection, including some rare finds. He even had a friends-and-family exclusive Verdy x Nike SB Dunk Low “Vick” on display—it was awesome to see (and hold) it in person.
And of course, no IMTJS event would be complete without some killer sneakers. Angelo from 2 Hide and Sneak had a pair of Off-White x Jordan 1 Chicago on his table. Seeing those in the wild was pretty rare, so it was cool to check them out at a reasonable price.
The IMTJS raffle was a hit, with tons of prizes from generous sponsors. As always, the more tickets you bought, the better your chances of winning.
If you’ve been to IMTJS events before, you know they’re all about bringing together a community that’s passionate about the culture. No matter where the event is (Australia, Auckland, Singapore), it’s always great to catch up with people, make new friends, and maybe even pick up something you’ve been eyeing.
Singapore was a blast, and we definitely want to come back. Huge thanks to all the sponsors (listed below) who supported the event, and a big shoutout to Jarritos SG for keeping us refreshed, Cosmonauts for helping with the setup, and our awesome host, ABSNC.
