About Us
SNEAKERFEST is shortened from SNEAKER FESTIVAL (SNEAKERS FESTIVAL). SNEAKERFEST or SNEAKERS FEST are registered Trademarks.
The Sneaker Fest is a movement that seeks to positively connect and indulge sneaker enthusiasts as well as promote the Sneaker Culture in Nigeria while inspiring the youths to be more creative and innovative towards self-reliance and a sustainable future.
Sneaker Fest is a Festival aimed at empowering youths through Fashion, Art, Music, Sports etc. The event is aimed at encouraging youths to be more entrepreneurial in their thoughts and aspirations. It is evident that youth empowerment, change, good governance and development are necessary. Thus, it is pertinent we as Professionals and Youths come together to celebrate yet inspire each other towards empowerment for self-reliance and nation building.
We intend to use fun and entertainment being the languages the youth understand to sensitize them on the need to engage more in personal / self-development as this could lead to empowerment and in turn, job creation and nation building. Majority of youths are unemployed and this is largely attributed to bad governance and lack of jobs. Sneaker Fest therefore intends to use its light and fun way to encourage youths to be more creative especially in their thoughts and ideas in order to create jobs for themselves and the next person beside them as this would lead to curbing unemployment amongst youths thereby reducing crime and advancing towards the much sought-after development.
