Sole DXB, the region\u2019s top sneaker and hip-hop festival, is making its way back to Dubai from December 9th until 11th after a two-year-long break due to the global pandemic.<\/p>\n

What is Sole DXB?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s basically a fun three-night festival developed by Sole featuring live music performances, workshops, discussions, sports tournaments, and film screenings. The festival in 2019 had a footfall of over 36,000 attendees, with 100+ performances (JSYK: Wu-Tang Clan, Stormzy and Petra Collins were there), speakers, and brands, participating throughout the course of the event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThis is a major milestone for us, having a decade under our belt. And we always knew the story would land right back where we started. This year, we\u2019ve had the honour of working alongside our friend, Hassan Hajjaj, an artist that has dedicated his life to building the culture and elevating the contributions of the Arab world to it,\u201d said Joshua Cox, co-founder at Sole DXB.\u201cWe\u2019ve worked together to build a show that better reflects our values and this is going to be a celebration of the ideas that continue to drive us. It\u2019s been a surreal three years and it feels incredible to be back, working with the city of Dubai and d3 to bring our community together again. We\u2019ve missed you and we can\u2019t wait to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n
