Sneaker Con SEA Was A Blast!

Hi Huneybees,

During the weekend, we attended Sneakercon 2023, and it exceeded all expectations. I had the opportunity to connect with numerous like-minded enthusiasts, exchange sneaker tips, and even bring home a haul of fantastic goodies!

The Staple + Sabotage booth attracted a multitude of fans, eagerly grabbing their merchandise. I took a shot at bidding for The Jeff Staple x staniflou "Singapore Pigeon" sneakers, but it seems there were more competitive bidders. Fortunately, I had the chance to meet Jeff Staple and Mark Ong and even secured their autographs.

Following the excitement, we paused at the PUMA booth. My husband had his sneakers polished, and I joined in the fun by participating in their sneaker coloring competition.

Our attention was then drawn to a lengthy queue at the Crocs booth, where we discovered that the Salehe Bembury x Crocs Polleg Clog "Sasquatch" was about to be released. Although we were eager to snag a pair for both of us, I was already considering another pair of sneakers.

Ta-da! Behold this Well Bred pair! There's a unique green variant in collaboration with Carlsberg, accessible solely through a raffle. However, my gaze was fixed on the incredibly charming and adorable pink version! I adore the intricate details, especially the fuzzy grasping hands encircling the sneakers.

We lingered near the Carlsberg booth, snapping selfies and enjoying a bottle of Carlsberg Smooth Draught. As an extra treat, we had our own exclusive caricature adorned on Carlsberg bottles by the talented Slim Lim. Don't we appear utterly cute under his skilled pen?

 

Whilst exploring the trading pit and marketplace for available sneakers, we stumbled upon an intriguing product from Philips - a shoe cleaner. I gave it a try and was genuinely impressed by its efficiency. The sneaker was cleaned, all without the need to soil my hands in the process.

While savoring snacks and drinks, we caught up with the panel discussion on stage. Later, we explored the Novelship booth, where we were introduced to the Metaverse fashion scene. The concept was still relatively new to me, and it took some time to fully grasp its essence. You can check them out if you are interested.

That concludes my inaugural Sneakercon encounter. It's fascinating to witness the immense community and following that sneakers can amass. I eagerly anticipate what the future holds and look forward to what's in store for next year. You all should definitely come and experience it firsthand!

Introducing The Highly Coveted CONVERSE Chuck Taylor All Star Mono Weave Sneaker Collection

Hi Huneybees,

CONVERSE has always been part and parcel of my life, wearing the white sneakers for school and today, writing and featuring them on Huney'Z World to share with you guys. 

Their comfortable Chuck Taylor sneakers, especially the high cut ones have already been widely known and worn. 

But seeing their latest launch, I can only say they have created a signature CONVERSE look with the highly coveted and Asia-Pacific exclusive "Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Mono Weave sneaker collection". 

The weaving detail reminds me of those Bottega bags, rising the sneakers to another level, by creatively reimagining the iconic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette with the striking hand-woven, structural design in several colors for easy matching. 

The sneakers feature a highly technical one-piece upper, constructed using interlocking fabric strips to create a modern, premium look. It is offset with a clean, solid white midsole and toecap, white accent details in the heel loops, laces and ankle piping. 

Also not forgetting the leather branding on the iconic Chuck Taylor logo patch and tongue labels to complete the sneakers’ stylish aesthetic.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Mono Weave Sneaker collection is now available in white and black at Converse stores in ION Orchard, NEX and Vivo City Shopping Mall at a suggested retail price $149.90 SGD. Better start shopping for yours!

[Updated] An Alternative Portrait Exhibition With Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars

Hi Huneybees,

Today, Converse celebrated the iconic Chuck Taylor All Stars with a call out to all their loyal fans and wearers of their signature sneakers to gather at Bugis Junction to celebrate their love for their sneakers.

Earlier this month, Converse launched its Spring 2015 campaign dubbed “Made by you” and the campaign saw the Converse team scour the globe to collect beloved and distinctly personal Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers, each of which tells a story of transformation from blank canvas to self-portrait of their owner, each pair telling a different story of their owner's journey...

Everyone has a different story and each pair of shoes were "beautifully decorated" with a different wear and tear, each with a different background. It really took me down a memory trip through a different style of portrait exhibition. Maybe I should do the same for all my shoes? Wahahaha!

Fans brought their beloved well-worn Chucks to the "Made by you" photobooth for a snap. The shots of their sneakers were key to creating their sneaker portraits, which were completed with their signatures. After the portraits were printed out, they were framed and packaged in an exclusive “Made by you” carrier case.

I also had my pair of Chucks up for a portrait, it's a brand new pair, but I can't wait to have it along on my journeys. Wonder how it will turn out after a few years...

And if you have already done the portraits today, be sure to enter this contest to WIN yourself a pair of exclusive Chuck Taylor All Star Monoweave Sneakers! Here's how:

Step 1: Head down to the exhibition and snap your Made by You picture with your sneakers (or use the image that is emailed to you).
Step 2: Upload on Instagram.
Step 3: Write the 6-word story of your sneakers or your style.
Step 4: Hashtag #conversesg, #conversesingapore and #madebyyou

A perfect blend of premium materials with seasonal earthy tones to keep you warm for winter and not compromising on the fashion...

The signatute Missoni terracotta colour found on eack sockliner completes the collection's incredible attention to detail. The lateral zip also allows the wearer to slip the foot in and out without lacing, for additional comfort and ease.

Lined with custom Missoni mohair - durable yarn from the hair of Angora goats, lined in the Missoni chevron pattern, the inside of the sneakers keeps you warm and snuggy throughout the winter.
