Jerry Seinfeld famously combined two fun but unrelated things — comedians and cars — (and arguably a third thing, coffee) with his popular show. But it’s a natural fit. People love seeing two semi-related things come together. If you love cars, then it’s probably safe to assume you have something of the collector’s spirit. And if you’re a younger person, chances are you might also appreciate a good pair of sneakers. Let me be your own personal Jerry Seinfeld and combine a couple of hottest cars and sneakers that might interest you.
Do you love working on your own car or eyeing someone else’s cool ride? And do you like to buy, sell or trade fly sneakers? If you answered yes to either of those questions, you’ll want to attend the Cars ‘n Kicks event in Orlando at the Orlando Convention Center. It takes place on Sunday, December 29th, from 12 PM to 6 PM. With a motto of “Dope cars and fly kicks,” you can’t go wrong.
Cars ‘n Kicks
The Orlando event is now open for registration. As a pre-registered event, if you’re exhibiting your vehicle, you need to know that all vehicles must be approved for entry and registered. Sneaker vendors must also register.
