If you’re into skateboarding and punk culture, you’re sure to have heard of Singapore streetwear legend, Mr Sabotage. Don’t miss out on his personal collection of sneakers from the original 1985 set of Nike Dunks, varsity pennants, and jackets that display his passion for sneaker collecting and customisation. As well as the recreation of a vintage cabinet from his SBTG studio which celebrates the pivotal moments in his career, sneaker culture influences from his childhood, as well as brand collaborations.
3. The Super Large Superstar

Drawing inspiration from sneaker culture and hip-hop music, the artist, Smoluk, sculpted this colourful Super Large Superstar from locally-sourced recycled materials. What it represents? The widespread influence of sneaker culture in modern society, where sneakerheads collect and exhibit their beloved footwear as art. But beyond its aesthetic appeal, Smoluk’s work also serves as a critique of mass consumption and throwaway culture, making us question today’s society. Something to think about, perhaps?
4. A Walk In Time

A mural of six renowned figures (that represent different subcultures) wearing different iconic sneakers, this mural was created by Tell Your Children — a Singapore-based creative studio that aims to inspire self-expression through visual content. Scan a QR code and hover over the artwork with your phone and watch as the mural comes to life!
