In collaboration with PUMA, Sneakerjagers organized various talks featuring names like Tim Beumers, DJ Turne, and 4SHOBANGERS. These talks discussed the history of hip-hop, breakdancing, and graffiti, and how these movements have influenced the sneaker scene. Under the name 'PUMA celebrating 50 years of Hip hop,' PUMA welcomed DJ Culture and MC Culture.
