A colossal display showcased top models from the past 30 years curated by renowned sneaker collector Croatianstyle (a.k.a. Andre Ljustina) that was worth a combined $2 million USD. Named “The Vault,” the exhibition was a hotbed of rare retros and limited edition releases shown in all their full glory, and which came from familiar brands like Nike, Jordan Brand, adidas, New Balance, ASICS, Vans and more.
