At many of these conventions they sometimes have rappers come shoe some of there sneakers and put on a performance. One of the major conventions name DUNKXCHANGE, named after the pair of Nike's named Dunks, travels around the country to major cities holding swap meets of shoes and clothes. Sometimes they might not be held on the best side of town but is worth the risk. Sometimes you may also have to pay an initial fee to get in.
