Singapore's first local sneaker con, Sole Superior, returns this Saturday and for its 11th showing, they are all about donning kicks and throwing fists. It's an all-out battle royale, where "battle" is the theme of the season.

While it's still a haven for sneakerheads and street culturists, the stage is set for Superior Sneaker Battle. Attire in your grails, put some fire in your feet as you compete with other hypebeasts in a live sneaker battle. There won't be any sneaker creasing (maybe!) but there will be some ego-bruising as Singapore’s first Superior Sneakerhead will be crowned.

There are other highlights at Sole Superior like a Sole Superior x Cumpler limited edition drop. Only 20 custom Teenie Weenie bags, handmade in Melbourne, will be available at the con. Your official Sole Superior t-shirt is courtesy of Cosmonauts and street artist, WD Willy; get inked (or just watch from the sidelines, you chicken) by a host of local talent curated by Alfrey Koh. From Persona to Love Sick Tattoo, attendees get to leave the con with something more permanent other than merch and memories.

And—my God—expect a yoyo showcase with Throw Revolution. Witness world champion Marcus Koh lead a live yoyo showdown. This is an open jio for anyone handy with a weight at the end of a string to join in and catch a masterclass in high-energy tricks and intricate moves.

You can't experience Sole Superior all dry-lipped and thirsty. A specially-created IPA crafted by Lion Brewery Co will be released at the con. Chug your pint in the shortest time possible for a free beer and be eligible to snag prizes and have your achievement posted up on the Legend Board. Aural pleasures will be provided by Loaded Provisions—a pop-up haven where guest DJs spin for all to chill and luxuriate.

Of course, there's the usual Community Marketplace for your streetwear and vintage finds from local vendors and SGD30,000 worth of prizes will be given away.

Sole Superior 2024 will be held on 16 November, at Foochow Building, near Jalan Besar, from noon to 10pm. Click here for tickets.
