Lace up for Sneakers Unboxed: Studio to Street
HOTA Gallery's blockbuster summer exhibition opens this weekend.
We’re excited to bring the Australian premiere of Sneakers Unboxed: Studio to Street, kicking off on Sat 25 Nov. The blockbuster summer exhibition, first unveiled by The Design Museum, London, is making its Australian debut at HOTA Gallery.
Sneakers Unboxed: Studio to Street charts the design and cultural journey of sneakers, one of the most universal design objects, bought and worn by millions of people worldwide every day. Picture this: over 400 objects, 300 plus shoes, and a mix of process material, photography, posters, videos, and artworks.
An Australian exclusive, the exhibition also stars iconic and unique Australian collaborations alongside a program of events, exploring the sneaker phenomenon through an Australian lens.
Split into two sections, head behind the scenes of the footwear phenomenon that's challenged performance design, inspired youth subcultures, and shaken the world of fashion.
We’ve teamed up with Sneaker Freaker to showcase rare Australian collaborations unique to HOTA. This includes the original Nike Air Presto made for the Australian Olympic team for Sydney 2000, one of the most elusive sneakers for collectors across the globe; Sneaker Freaker's New Balance 997.5 Tassie Tiger named after the native Australian marsupial; and Melbourne Rules, a collaboration with BespokeIND to celebrate the iconic 2016 AFL Grand Final between the Sydney Swans and the Western Bulldogs.
But that's not all! Don't miss the packed program of panel discussions and events running across the opening weekend and throughout summer.
