Sneaker Jam Follow Up

And that’s a wrap for the third Sneaker Jam at DWNTWN in Cerritos. First off, thank you to all the sneaker heads, enthusiasts, vendors, customizers, live artists, sponsors, and everyone else for cruising out to be a part of such a great event. The entire day was a success because of you! The Sneaker Jam is a shoe event for everyone to buy, sell, and trade some of the rarest and limited shoes in the world like Yeezys, Jordans, and Nike SB Quickstrikes.

For our third installment of the Sneaker Jam we had ten vendors and three customizers, all of which also do restorations, set up with tables and plenty of selection for everyone who rolled through. We screen all of our vendors like Kicks Bids and The Stash Company so that everyone there is certified and only selling authentic kicks. In short, it's still Yeezy Season but there were only two all black 750 Boosts at the Sneaker Jam for re-sell. These Yeezys are just too rare and incredibly hard to get your hands on and have some of the highest re-sell value shoes in the game right now. Some rare sneakers worn at the Sneaker Jam had to have been the Adidas Yeezy 750 Boosts in all black, Supreme x Jordan 5 in black and red, and the Nike SB 420 Dunk Low Quickstrike that were an early release! They are made of all hemp with a Rasta color accent on the front tongue patch label and throughout the stitching of the shoe.

We had Speezy Customz on hand at the event making custom Jordan-sized hangtahgs for your collection (pictured to the right are a few of his custom pieces). Check out his instagram here to see even more of his work. We also had portrait artist Mariella Angela on hand working on an incredible piece of none other than Michael Jordan. Mariella has worked with us for years now and her skill is incredible to see in person. Be sure to stop by on a Saturday when she does live painting in our store to appreciate the skill that goes into each one of her portraits.

And who doesn’t like giveaways? Rastaclat, Jason Markk and Sneaker Freaker were also at the Sneaker Jam to keep things interesting. Rastaclat set up a raffle for their limited Yeezy stack bracelets during the Sneaker jam. It was two bracelets made to match Adidas Yeezy 350 Boosts in the Black Pirate and Turtle Dove colorways. 

DWNTWN would like to thank everyone for making the Sneaker Jam possible and the sneaker community.  If it wasn’t for you this event would not be possible. Until the next one we hope you enjoyed this event and continue to love collecting and wearing what makes you happy!

Sneaker Jam

DWNTWN is proud to host our 3rd Sneaker Jam at our Cerritos location on Sunday April 3rd, 2016 from 1-6pm. Since opening our doors in the city of Cerritos it was no question that the surrounding community houses an abundance of sneaker heads and we wanted to create an event like no other around for all of them. Whether you're into the simple kicks or loud sneakers, the Sneaker Jam has it all. This event is for sneaker heads by sneaker heads and consists of buying, selling, or trading shoes of all brands and styles from the most limited kicks to the classics you just got to have. Our last event had a great turnout with over 10 shoe vendors, live artists, and DJs spinning all day long. Over 200 sneaker heads rolled through the doors and this upcoming Sneaker Jam is sure to get an even better turnout as word has spread.

Our up and coming Sneaker Jam will consist of official sneaker vendors that buy, sell and trade limited shoes at DWNTWN Cerritos. You are also invited to bring your own limited shoes to sell or trade at the event or just cruise in to see what is going on in the sneaker community. During the event, shoe vendors and sneaker heads will be showcasing and selling brands like Jordan, Adidas, Nike SB, Vans and many more. We also have 2 live sneaker artists booked to customize your kicks at the event! Whatever you have thought would be some incredible detail missing from your favorite pair, our customizers can help turn those dreams into reality. Whether it’s a color change, adding your name, material swaps or restorations, they've got you covered. In typical DWNTWN fashion, we aren't going to stop at sneakers for this whole day. We have a few sponsors who will be at the Sneaker Jam so be on the lookout for giveaways during the event.

Local up and coming artist Mariella Angela will be at the Sneaker Jam painting the iconic Michael Jordan. Her art career is skyrocketing, between being interviewed on Power 106 and already having a solo art exhibition last year, you definitely want to be here to see her paint live and pick up one of her masterpieces we have hanging for sale on our walls. Dj Eddy Express of 93.5 KDay will be spinning during the event to keep your head bobbing as you find the perfect kicks you've been hunting for. Be sure to show up at DWNTWN Cerritos early to get the best selection from our shoe vendors and check out everything else we have planned for the event!

Here are some photos form the last Sneaker Jam Event we hosted! Check them out and get a good idea of what you're in store for on Sunday April 3rd.

The Sneaker Jam Returns!

Up Close and Personal

Dwntwn is proud to announce that the Sneaker Jam will be making its way back to our Cerritos location on Sunday, February 22nd since we had an overflow of appreciation from the first event. The Sneaker Jam is an event where sneaker connoisseurs buy, sell, and trade their most rare and sought-after footwear. Look forward to catching heat from brands like Air Jordan, Nike, Nike SB and more! Expect some live entertainment from sneaker customization by some of Dwntwn’s best artists as well as a live DJ set. We will have some giveaways throughout the course of the event from both sponsors, Rastaclat and The Finer Things. Rastaclat will have a pop up booth set up to showcasing their bracelets, shoelaces, and more. For all of those interested, the event is free and anyone is welcome to bring in shoes to buy, sell, or trade. Due to limited space, early arrival is suggested. The Sneaker Jam will start at noon and end at 5pm. Last July, we hosted the Sneaker Jam which had sneaker lovers flocking from all corners of Southern California to Dwntwn Cerritos so they could buy, sell, and trade their collections of sneakers. Our store was packed to capacity with people bidding and selling their sneakers for more than expected from every major sneaker brand. It was hard to keep up with all of the rare sneakers that were being brought in under one roof but it was all thanks to the growing sneaker community that had been anticipating an event like this. The outcome was great and we would like to thank everyone that showed up. Also, thanks to DJ Episode for being MC and keeping the atmosphere live as well as Kickstradamus and Dino for doing there thing and making custom sneakers all throughout the event.

More info is coming as we get closer to the 22nd so keep up to date with all of the latest details by following Dwntwn on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. IG: Dwntwn123 / FB & T: Dwntwnonline
