Nike and Supply Store Present SURPLUS

Overview

Sydney's streetwear scene is about to take part in a massive celebration, as Supply Store and Nike team up to host SURPLUS — a three-day party stacked with 50-plus mostly free events spanning 21 Darlinghurst venues. Showcasing food, design, music, art and movement, expect much-loved homegrown and international names to guide the fashionable festivities from Friday, October 17–Sunday, October 19.

Taking over Burton Street from 10am–6pm on Saturday, October 18, Marketplace is an openair destination for clothing vendors, independent publishers and renowned food pop-ups. Grab yourself a cult-followed slice from NYC's Scarr's Pizza or delve into California's Uncle Paulie's Deli for an American-style sandwich with streetwear credentials. Meanwhile, big-time Canadian Chef Matty Matheson's own Matty's Patty's will be making an Aussie appearance. Yet this event goes far beyond mere food.

NYC-born BMX pro Nigel Sylvester will host a community swap shop, while other Marketplace highlights include express manis from Mannequin Hands, tooth gems from Niche Pleasures and Y2K-inspired merch from Extra Silky hair salon. Plus, visitors can expect street art exhibits from Sydney's Sly Morikawa, Melbourne's Mim Libro and Seattle's CHITO, featuring his acclaimed graffiti-meets-fashion work. On the live music front, SURPLUS welcomes London-based rapper, YT, to Oxford Art Factory, as Newcastle's own techno label Steel City Dance Discs — home to Kettama, Loods and Tommy Holohan — presents a one-off tape workshop.

Of course, Nike is getting involved, serving up limited-edition Air Max drops across the weekend, ensuring you score a fresh pair of the sneakerhead classic that helped shape the entire streetwear scene. "SURPLUS connects and engages our local scene by bringing the online offline," says Supply Store Founder, Shawn Yates. "We want SURPLUS to be an opportunity to participate and tap into the world that Supply Store has built over the last two decades."
