The last sneaker Mara Con venue was bursting at the seams, as it could not contain the mass crowd that showed up to take part in the best sneaker Mara event of its kind. So, the event moved uptown and a bit East as sneaker Mara Con took over a collegiate-sized gymnasium as Baruch College opened its doors to host the biggest NYC event in history! The gym was packed front to back with amazing vendors showing off their collections and with a special preview showcase of adidas Originals’ upcoming gear, and even a number of notable sneakerheads in the game popped through, like Ed Lover, Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks, Jack Ballard of the New England Patriots, DJ Clark Kent, Mayor and All Day. The line was hundreds deep hours before the doors opened, but luckily the venue was large (and cool) enough to keep everyone comfortable in their kicks. Check out this full-throttle recap of sneaker Mara Con NYC June 2012 and let us know if you spot yourself in one of the photos, and stay tuned for the much-anticipated ‘Feet’ recap!
