- Bump shoulders with celebrities.
Local celebrities come out each year to show support and meet sneaker-heads from across the world. Artists, including rappers Bun B and Slim Thug, have been major supporters of the event. There will also be a few professional athletes in attendance to soak in what the summit has to offer.
