A SCOTTISH venue is set to host Europe’s biggest sneaker festival for the first time next month.
Glasgow will see hundreds of pairs of rare and collectable footwear stroll into venue Platform on June 26 for its debut Scottish event.
The event, Crepe City festival, has been labelled Europe’s biggest footwear celebration and will bring together underground talent, on-trend panel discussions and streetwear for this one-off event.
Glasgow will see a variety of sneaker resellers like the UK’s leading Nike Air Max vendor Northern Sole 95, or VNDS who specialise in finding rare and obscure finds.
Customers will also be able to check out the new releases from King of Kicks including Yeezys and Jordans.
The Platform kitchen will also be dishing out street food throughout the event along with a bar fully stocked with local beers, cocktails, and summer specials.
Ron, founder of Crepe City, said: "We are really excited to be finally bringing our event to Glasgow. The sneaker scene in the city and the surrounding areas is massive and we are really happy to be doing our part to help it grow even more. The response so far has been amazing from people buying tickets to local resellers and businesses booking spaces to sell at the event."
Kathryn McCormick, owner of Platform added: “There’s so much excitement for Crepe City at Platform. It’s Europe’s top sneaker festival and it’s got everything you can imagine for sneakerheads to enjoy. We can’t wait to welcome Ron and the team to Platform.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
