It’s More Than Just Sneakers Sydney 2024 Recap

What would September in Sydney be without Australia’s favourite sneaker event? Trust us, you don’t want to know—and that’s exactly why the team at The Kickz Stand continues to bring the ever-popular ‘It’s More Than Just Sneakers’ lifestyle tour to Sydney. On the 28th of September, the two basketball courts at PCYC Auburn were transformed into a vibrant gallery, with stalls showcasing a range of collectibles, from sneakers and clothing to toys and more.

Once again, the Sydney community showed its unwavering support for the event, and The Kickz Stand made sure no one left empty-handed. Each guest was greeted with a free gift at entry and a ticket to the highly anticipated raffle. Inside, attendees were spoilt for choice with a variety of vendors offering everything from rare grails and hard-to-find items to great deals on sneakers and apparel. As if that weren’t enough, the team at Royals hosted a 3-on-3 basketball tournament on one of the half courts.

And did we mention the raffle? Thanks to the generosity of the sponsors, the raffle was drawn every 30 minutes, ensuring that a mountain of prizes could be handed out before the event wrapped up. Those who’ve attended before know that buying extra raffle tickets is well worth it!

Beyond the prizes and the incredible selection of shoes for sale, one thing this event does better than most other lifestyle events is bring the community together. Vendors appreciate the chance to chat with attendees or negotiate deals, while the ‘old heads’ gather, catching up and showing off their freshly cleaned OG Jordans or limited-edition runners. Meanwhile, the ‘hypebeasts’ scout for steals, and others simply enjoy the vibe and soak in the event’s unique atmosphere.

For those who haven’t yet experienced the event, checking out The Kickz Stand‘s socials is a must to find out when the next one is coming to town. And for those who have attended before, they already know how much fun it is—so next time, bring the family and friends, because there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

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.
