We live sneakers, streetwear, and neighborhood culture! All Day! Every Day!

Since opening its first store in Essen, Germany in 1998, SNIPES has been an integral part of street culture and is constantly growing thanks to its proximity to the community and regular openings worldwide. 

At SNIPES, everything revolves around youth culture. In stores and online at snipes.com and snipesusa.com, our community finds a wide range of internationally renowned sneakers and apparel brands for the latest fits from head to toe. We dive deep into subcultures, sponsor some of the biggest hip-hop festivals, events, and sports teams throughout the world to stay close to our community and keep our deep roots in the global street culture community. Therefore, we work closely with key figures from the scene like DJ Khaled, our Chief Creative Officer. But whether it’s sponsorships or developing grassroots projects – we prioritize giving back to the community in everything we do. 

SNIPES has always kept an ear to the streets to create a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. Through our community program “SNIPES serves” and its localized approach we support the needs of our communities, empower, and celebrate our dynamic culture.
