FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

5th Dimension Presents ‘Out of Reach: London’

Global Sneaker Subculture’s Rarest Shoes to be Displayed in U.K. Exhibition

London, U.K. (May 26, 2004) – 5th Dimension - http://www.5th-Dimension.info - the online source for need-to-know information on global street-wear and sneaker subculture, is launching its first ever exhibition in the UK. ‘Out of Reach: London’ will take place at Shoreditch’s M+R, 15A Kingsland Road, London E2 8AA, from the 11th-13th of June.

‘Out of Reach: London’ will be a globally inspired sneaker exhibition that displays some of the world’s rarest and most coveted collectable footwear, including unseen and unreleased Nike Dunk SB production samples, co-branded special make-ups and artist collaborations. Shoes will be displayed amongst works from renowned and up-and-coming artists from around the globe - creators who are either entrenched in the sneaker subculture themselves or whose work represents the urban collective from which it emerged. In addition, visitors will have the chance to view new models from boutique sneaker brand JB Classics and custom designs from San Francisco graffiti artist Jor One.

5th Dimension chose London as the inaugural location for ‘Out of Reach’ because the city is one of the most dynamic yet most overlooked locations when it comes to promoting the depth of its sneaker culture. In presenting ‘Out of Reach: London,’ 5th Dimension aims to connect and celebrate London’s dynamic sneaker scene by showcasing some of the subcultures most prized rarities – many of which have never been seen publicly on British soil. ‘Out of Reach: London’ will also provide local and international sneaker/fashion brands, retailers, and media the opportunity to interact with their supporters from the UK and across Europe.
