Rise of Sneaker Culture
Last year, I
had the pleasure of interning at Everywhere
Agency, a social media marketing firm located in Atlanta, GA. Through my
experience of interning there, I was able to learn the ins and outs of social
media and why it's only continuing to grow. Along the way I was able to meet
amazing women who not only taught me valuable
information, but who also happen to be badass girl bosses, too. Long
story short, I loved interning there so much I decided to come back for the
summer.
One of the
many perks of interning at Everywhere Agency, aside from the free lunches, is
attending events held by their clients. The most recent one being The High
Museum of Arts. Yup. Over the weekend Kenzie and I were able to attend their
most recent exhibit, The Rise of Sneaker Culture. The exhibit showcased
almost 200 pairs of iconic sneakers from the mid-nineteenth century to now, specifically
the 1860s to now. The 1860s!!!! Can you imagine???? Seriously, people getting
onto their horse driven carriages probably going up to a shoe store late at
night and waiting in line to get the newest pair of sneaks.... in the 1860s.
Okay so my imagination may be a little farfetched, but still. How cool! We saw
a pair of sneakers that actually had heels on them for women who were playing
sports. Crazy. Women had to wear sneakers with heels in order to play a
sport!!! Men, listen, not trying to put you guys down but the fact that we used
to play sports in heels is just, like...not saying we're better than you but...if
the shoe fits.
Anyhow, the event was filled with sneakerheads of all shapes, sizes,
colors, etc. The event brought out dance crews to hype
the crowd up and drinks to get the moves flowing. Overall, it was a wonderful
event. Showcasing the importance and/or rise
of the sneaker culture. After checking out the exhibit, Kenzie and I decided to
stroll over to other exhibits at the High. It was a great night out in Atlanta
filled with good music, good drinks, and very impressive sneakers to say the
least.

Also huge shout out to Danica, and all the ladies at Everywhere Agency for letting me be a part of this event!
Until Next
Time,
DH
