Taking place on February 24th, 2011 at the Jam Jar, SOLE DXB will feature the Middle East’s debut screening of the documentary ‘Mystery of Flying Kicks’, as well as live music performances, photography exhibition and sneaker collection showcases – all powered by PUMA.
Hussain and Kris of SOLE DXB are also ambassadors for the PUMA Creative Factory, which launched here in December. It's an iPad application that allows consumers to custom-create their own shoes and build their very own sneaker from an assortment of materials and fabric to make a one-of-a-kind pair, with only two being the same. Yours.
