On Saturday, May 9, 2026, It’s More Than Just Sneakers made its return to Melbourne, bringing the community together once again at St Kilda PCYC for another unforgettable stop on the lifestyle tour.
From the moment doors opened, the energy inside the venue was undeniable. Sneakerheads, collectors, streetwear enthusiasts, and families all packed into the space, creating the kind of atmosphere that continues to make IMTJS more than just an event. Whether people came to buy, sell, trade, or simply connect with others in the culture, there was something for everyone throughout the day.
Vendor tables were stacked with everything from grails and everyday beaters to vintage apparel, collectibles, and accessories. Conversations sparked everywhere across the floor as people shared stories behind their pickups, talked upcoming releases, and connected over a shared passion for sneakers and street culture. It was a reminder that the community side of the culture is still what matters most.
One of the highlights of the day came courtesy of Monster Energy, who kept attendees refreshed throughout the event with free drinks and refreshments. Indomie also brought the fun with interactive games running throughout the day, giving attendees the chance to win merch, prizes, and free noodles, which quickly became a crowd favourite.
A massive thank you goes out to our sponsors and vendors for their ongoing support, and to our incredible volunteers who make sure everything runs smoothly. You’re all a big part of what makes It’s More Than Just Sneakers one of the most loved events on the scene.
