MEETING PEOPLE
RIGHT WHERE
THEY ARE
The Neighborhood.
The Neighborhood is a series of community-focused events designed to put resources into the hands of the very people who live in it.

A STRONGER NETWORK THROUGH SNEAKERS
Community Releases by Sole Classics.
Community Releases allow Sole Classics to leverage their platform and highly coveted sneaker releases into benefitting local small businesses and non-profit organizations. Throughout the year Sole Classics partners with community entities for a sneaker release. Patrons are encouraged to do things like donate to a non-profit, join LMNH for a neighborhood cleanup, or gran a bite from a local sandwich shop in order for a better chance to purchase the item. It is a win-win for everyone.
