America’s Premier Sneaker Convention Hits Tokyo

The moment sneakerheads have been waiting for is finally here. SODA Inc., the operator of SNKRDUNK—Japan’s largest and most trusted marketplace for sneakers and trading cards—has announced an official partnership with Got Sole, America’s hugely popular sneaker and streetwear convention, for its monumental international debut, “Got Sole Tokyo 2025.” This historic event is set to take place on Saturday, 22nd November 2025, at Ailes Shinagawa in Tokyo.

SNKRDUNK Brings the American Hype to Tokyo

With a massive social media following of over 2 million, Got Sole is a monthly staple across 12 U.S. cities. Its reputation, however, extends far beyond a simple sneaker marketplace; it has cemented its status as a cultural epicenter where next-gen creators, collectors, and celebrities converge. The convention is famous for its high-energy atmosphere, and past events have featured surprise appearances from big names like NBA legends Dennis Rodman and PJ Tucker, alongside popular rappers Lil Yachty and Soulja Boy.

For its first-ever overseas event, Got Sole has chosen one of the world’s most dynamic markets: Tokyo. As a leading voice in Japan’s sneaker community, SNKRDUNK will support this landmark debut as an official partner, aiming to deliver the authentic energy and hype typically only found stateside directly to Japanese fans. For the SNKRDUNK community, this event promises to be a premier hub for connection and discovery, offering a chance to dive deep into not only sneakers but also the broader world of fashion, hobbies, and pop culture.

An Elevated Event Experience with SNKRDUNK

The partnership with SNKRDUNK will unlock several key features at Got Sole Tokyo 2025:

・A Massive Marketplace Fusing Sneakers, Streetwear, and Hobbies This event will go beyond just buying and trading sneakers, encompassing a diverse range of street culture that includes streetwear, collector’s toys, and figurines. It will serve as the ultimate marketplace for the SNKRDUNK community to discover new grails and expand their collections.

・Thriftcon Makes Its Japanese Debut For the first time ever in Japan, Thriftcon, the world’s only premier vintage clothing and collectibles convention, will host an exclusive American vintage corner right inside Got Sole Tokyo. This will be a unique and unprecedented opportunity to browse curated collections from handpicked vintage vendors traveling directly from the United States.

・Star-Studded Guest & Influencer Lineup Following the success of its U.S. events, the Tokyo edition is also expected to feature special guests and prominent influencers. With many from SNKRDUNK’s own community anticipated to attend, the event will provide a space for Japanese and American cultural icons to meet and mingle. Specific guest announcements will be made on the official SNKRDUNK and Got Sole channels soon.

A Message from the Co-Founders of Got Sole

Jonathan and Joseph, the co-founders of Got Sole, shared a special message for the SNKRDUNK community:

“We are honored to have SNKRDUNK as our partner for Got Sole’s expansion into Japan. We are confident that we will build the best future together! Our goal is to grow the sneaker and streetwear community and provide the best experiences, and we could not be more confident that SNKRDUNK is the best partner to achieve this.”
