Three days. Thousands of pairs. One place to swap stories, discover rare finds and experience the energy of global sneaker culture in Doha.
The best part of sneaker culture is the unboxing; the moment between the tape rip and the first look.
Sneaker Con Doha brings collectors, enthusiasts, brands and influencers together for a three-day celebration of streetwear, exclusive drops and urban lifestyle. Come for the rare finds. Stay for the music, the meet-ups and the moments you’ll talk about long after you leave.
Sneaker Con Doha is a pop culture-charged sneaker festival at DECC, where the trading pit, brand alley pop-ups and live entertainment collide. Expect customization and authentication experiences, sneaker-inspired sports activations (basketball and skateboarding), and panel talks with collectors and footwear fashion icons.
Step into the trading pit and negotiate your next pair in real time. With authentication and customization experiences on site, every pickup feels personal.
Explore pop-up showcases and streetwear drops from brands and partners. It’s the kind of marketplace where you come for one item—and leave with a whole new look.
Catch panel talks with exclusive collectors and footwear fashion icons, then stay for live performances—dance battles, flash mobs and crowd-hype moments.
Head to the Lace Lab for customization and sneaker care, then jump into sports activations like basketball and skateboarding for a weekend that moves as fast as the culture.
From The Stage and Lace Lab to the Collectors Lounge, each area has its own vibe. Follow the energy through Trader’s Pit and Marketplace/Brand Alley—then take a breather at the F&B zone before diving back in.
Between drops, jump into high-energy activations—customize your sneakers, test your skills at the basketball arena, catch breakdancing and live graffiti moments, or step up to the boxing machine and skateboarding exhibitions.
Expect photobooths, Instagrammable art installations and pop-up moments you’ll want to share. From the first tape rip to the last flash mob, it’s all made for the camera roll.
Surrounded by cafés, restaurants and great places to shop, perfect for turning your Sneaker Con weekend into a full day out.
Keep the weekend going with concerts, festivals, exhibitions and pop-ups happening across Qatar.
