On October 10th 2009 Vienna was the focal point of sneakerculture for one day.
Sneakerness made its way from switzerland across the boarder to Austria's capital city and with them they brought people from all across Europe, Great Britain, USA and even South Africa.
The expectations were quite high but without any doubt Sergio Muster, founder and organizer of Sneakerness, was able to meet them.

As you might already know the Sneakerness convention is coming to Vienna/Austria (Europe) this saturday, October 10th (we have covered this earlier). And since the countdown is ticking down the last days faster and faster you can feel the excitement already here in Vienna.
Today we got some additional information from Nike about what we can expect to be presented at the convention from them:
The main focus is on the classic Tinker Hatfield Nike Air Max 1, which celebrates it's 20th anniversary this year.
Therefore the a never released Air Max 1 designed by Netherlands own infamous streetart stylist and sneakerhead Parra will be presented. Also pictures and the stories of Parra and the Air Max 1 will be exhibited.
Besides Parra, famous viennese residents like DJ Buzz (Waxolutionists), DJ Beware and Florian Horwath will share insight on how the classic sneaker had impact on their lifes.
Visitors can check into the NikeID lab at the spot and design their own personal sneaker.
In order to represent Vienna Nikes exibition booth will be designed by El Lasso, from Inoperable.
We see you there, at the Sneakerness!
