One of Dubai’s hottest urban lifestyle events returned for its fifth offering last weekend at d3 (Dubai Design District) and it was nothing short of art. We’re talking about Sole DXB! What’s that? It’s Dubai’s biggest streetwear event that’s all about celebrating street culture with a distinctively Middle Eastern twist.
Sole DXB brings together a spectrum of creatives and brands to hosting key music, basketball, streetwear, and art figures. When it first started back, it was all about the sneakers, but it has since expanded to celebrate all aspects of hip-hop culture. This year’s theme was “City of Gold,” and golden it was. Here are some of our favorite moments from that weekend.
When the king of grime, Stormzy, took over the stage
When Skepta shut down the whole place (not literally) and got the crowd going crazy
When we spotted Queen B’s activewear brand Ivy Park
When people took staying fresh to the next level at Sole DXB
When the legendary Diamond D + Large Professor lit the after party on fire
When we caught Hadia Ghaleb with her partner in crime exchanging laughs
When these lights gave us some Vanilla Ice feels
When amongst few x The Hundreds sold out
When Wong didn’t give one flying eff
When these two queens slayed it, obviously
Last but not least, no57cafe’s ice creams were the bomb
WE SAID THIS: Which one was your favorite moment?
