Soledition is preparing to create an even more immersive experience, building on the success of the first event and giving attendees a unique chance to explore the colorful tapestry of street and sneaker culture. At New Delhi’s Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, the festival’s second edition will take place.
The sneakerhead culture slowly spread throughout the world, taking inspiration from the b-boying and sports of the early 1970s and late 1980s. Sneakers have developed throughout time to become more than just a cozy choice for shoes. They have a deeper significance attached to them. They are now a platform for self-expression and a reflection of uniqueness.
Soledition is an event that unites sneakerheads, skateboarders, ballers, hip-hoppers, gamers, musicians, and graffiti artists in celebration of the growing sneaker culture in India.
