Artists from around the globe come together to create Sneakers Generation<\/strong> — the world\u2019s largest customized sneakers exhibit. With the work of 400 different artists on display, this exhibit highlights the community and artistry that is a vital foundation in keeping the sneaker culture alive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sneakers Generation will debut at Galerie Sakura, located in the beautiful city of Paris. Galerie Sakura has humble beginnings that date back to 2010, when gallery-founder Jean-Baptiste Simon first opened the doors. Simon has always been passionate about contemporary art. He wanted to create a space that shared his passion and uplifted artists from all walks of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, Sneakers Generation includes both emerging and recognized artists from countries around the world. One of the featured artists includes Ommolbahni Hassani, also known as Shamsia. Born in 1988, Shamsia is an Afghan graffiti artist and professor of sculpture at the University of Kabul. Throughout an era of threat and uncertainty, Shamsia popularized street art in the city of Kabul to raise awareness about the war conflicts that have taken over the daily lives of Afghans everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
