Long gone are the days of the Pigalle Mansion during Miami Beach’s Art Basel and while the KNOWWAVE house outlasted Pigalle by a year or two it seems the insider-y, underground nature of where streetwear’s favorites spent their Art Basel days have come to a close. Without those legendary around-the-clock-for-days-on-end pop up parties, new spaces are being made for streetwear and sneaker adjacent brands and artists to take their talents to South Beach.

Just Landed In Miami. All Roads Lead To @11miami Tonight! 11:11pm #nosleep 📷 @davin_gentry

Geiger celebrates the arrival of the 002

While it only makes sense for former Miami resident to plan his latest release in the 305, John Geiger went above and beyond collaborating with the city’s newest mega club, E11EVEN, on his Art Basel 002s. On December 6, 2018, Geiger and E11even hosted an event where G-Eazy performed. Attendees that spent $10,000 or more on tables (which is actually insanely normal there) got a pair of 002s in their desired size. Coincidentally, 11 tables ended up with a pair of sneakers.

First of its kind and the only skate shop in Miami, Andrew, had a packed week of Art Basel events. In addition to hosting a Design District pop-up, it kicked off the week with the opening of the Andrew Skate Plaza on Monday, December 3rd. The shop followed up on Wednesday with an event celebrating Sneeze magazine’s 2019 calendar launch, and on Thursday, it dropped an Andrew x FriendsWithYou collaboration. Friday marked the release of an X-Girl x AWAKE NY t-shirt and hoodie collaboration. The release was celebrated with a proper Bashment at 1306 Miami, a downtown club where reggae singer Wayne Wonder performed. Finally, Andrew and Jenkem magazine hosted a block party where Kanye West popped and learned how to ollie.

Nike reeled it in a little this year and focused on women. Rather than the Off-White soccer match of last year, the brand and illustrator Kelli Shami hosted a sports bra customization station at Miami’s SoHo House. The brand’s much-coveted collabs with Ambush and Comme Des Garçons were also on display for all the girls to see and try on.

Kappa did, however, bring a full soccer match downtown. In partnership with Soccer Cage Miami, Kappa hosted a charity soccer game on Friday and archive exhibition to benefit YoungArts. Virgil Abloh, Jesse Boykins and Reese LaFlare all stopped by the game to support.

Puma also had some art week presence. On Wednesday at the Puma Select Store in the Design District, the brand held a brunch for its Bradley Theodore collab and Theodore did a live painting. They also partnered with Puma girl YesJulz as a sponsor for her Friday evening 1AM Basel Block Party at the RC Cola Plant in Wynwood.

Colm Federico Quinn Dillane’s The Factory: A Community Building Exercise. // How it all happened: every year for the past 4 years I have gone to art Basel last minute, from sleeping on the beach, sneaking into mansion parties to crashing on random people’s house that eventually became friends it’s always been an adventure. I always wanted to do my own art show. I thought I would eventually have a gallery show my work. But this year about 2 weeks ago Sam and Eric @manhattan.wreck were like you should do a show here’s some spaces that are available to rent for the weekend. They hit up the venue and were like it’s confirmed pay this. I really wasn’t ready, I was going to make all the art then rv it down because it would still be wet and I couldnt ship it. But rving down there would cost me 2 days of travel so last Saturday me and a Foda flew into Naomi with literally 1 bag of clothes and some paint brushes we went to an art supply and had 5 days to make all the art and set up the show. The space was absolutely massive and we wanted to fill it with an installation that was interactive and represent the art and the story. The art work was collaged with fabric so we decided to get a literal ton of donated clothing and allow viewers to make there own collage piece. Monday Eric and Sam flew in and got organizing, @prsnlty dropped off a screen printing unit, we got sewing machines donated and @eatme420 drove down from North Carolina to sew. She absolutely crushed it. @stolenproject came to help print. And @jagermeisterusa came and support! @dougieplaylist flew down for the weekend to dance the night away with the boys! On Thursday the day before the show I was still painting and drawing and everyone was running around. I can’t believe how beautiful this all came out. We sold 3 paintings and 5 drawings. We have 3 paintings left and 4 drawings. We are gonna RV back to NYC and put the remaining paintings for sale if you live on the Eastern coast of America and want a painting we will drop it off to you. All paintings must be sold before we get back to Brooklyn… Can we do it?!? The misadventures of KidSuper continues!!

Creative collective KidSuper held an experimental exhibition showcasing Colm Dillane’s mix media paintings inside The Factory. The exhibit included a pile of donated clothing, which attendees were encouraged to customize with sewing machines and screen printers.

It wasn’t just the parties or the product launches and releases, though. Streetwear and sneakers all showed up at the art fairs. At SCOPE Art Fair, artist CB Hoyo’s work called “Fake Hype Beast” looked like a knock off Murakami with the words “FAKE SUPREME, FAKE YEEZYS, FAKE MURAKAMI, I’M BALLIN” scrawled over the happy flowers. Jason Dussault’s “Kickback Series” was comprised of glass tile sneaker sculptures including Nike Air Max 97, Vans and a variety of Jordans.

Final day @artbasel Miami ! My little GUZOs. ❤️

Streetwear even made it to the big show: Art Basel. Aside from pieces from the culture’s favorite artists, Takashi Murakami, KAWS, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, on display in multiple booths, Nanzuka‘s booth was centered around the work of Japanese artist Haroshi, who utilizes old broken down and used skateboards to create his pieces.

While the scene of Art Basel Miami Beach has long had a foundation of the refinement of the international art world, it’s refreshing to see more satellite fairs pop up and diverse brands get involved because creators do not fit into a one box. This year furthers the idea that there is space for everyone in the art community.

Congratulations, Chioma!!
