This edition of Sneaker Scouting comes from the UK’s biggest sneaker market, Crepe City. As a fan for years, this event is always on my calendar and I am always taken back by the cohesion the sneaker community has. Every visit includes meeting up with old faces, making new friends and in-depth chats about your latest pick-ups, grails, and hidden gems.

From rare Air Max grails to custom Yeezys, the variety this year didn’t disappoint. Vendors brought serious heat, and it felt like every table had something to stop you in your tracks. One of the biggest highlights was the growing presence of independent designers showcasing one-of-a-kind creations — proof that sneaker culture is more creative and inclusive than ever.

Crepe City isn’t just about buying or selling. It’s about connecting. Whether you’re a reseller, a collector, or just there to soak up the vibe, the passion is real. And as always, I left with a full camera roll, a lighter wallet, and an even bigger appreciation for the scene.
