The wait is over—well, sort of. Crepe City returns to NDSM Loods on July 9, but the wait is now over and you can still buy last-minute tickets here —or if you’re well-organized, you might even already have your tickets. You might expect the event to be a repeat of last year, but that wouldn’t be very interesting, would it? This year, StockX presents Crepe City, which takes place from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and there’s plenty in store for you. Yes, you’ll find the rarest sneakers on the market for sale—but Crepe City is about much more than just sneakers.

What exactly makes Crepe City so special?
Well, what makes it so special is how it evolved from a small gathering for sneakerheads in London into Europe’s biggest sneaker festival. The event has taken place in Berlin, Glasgow, Manchester, and of course here in Amsterdam, as well as in its birthplace, London. If you go to Crepe City in 2023, however, it will look a bit different than the original gathering in 2009. It’s still a celebration of sneaker culture, but now it not only brings together the country’s best stores and resellers, but also offers a festival experience. If sneakers aren’t your thing, don’t worry—you’ll also find clothing from luxury brands and streetwear classics.

Plus, let’s not forget the festival aspect of Crepe City. The day’s soundtrack is curated by some of the city’s best DJs, who’ll be spinning hits all day long. Plus , there will be hosts entertaining you all day long, as well as panels and giveaways. If you want to take care of your sneakers, Crep Protect will be there with everything you need to make them look brand new. And if you want to make sure your purchases are authentic, the StockX authentication team will be on-site to check your shoes for you.
