You may think that sneakerheads would be the last people to be super into coffee, because you know, that brown liquid is just itching to stain to pristine kicks. But youโd be wrong. (Maybe you didnโt think that at all or you stayed agnostic on the coffee beliefs of sneakerheads, and thatโs ok too). In fact, coffee is chock full of fly dressers, at least from the ankles down. And in Portland next week, thereโs an event with this cross-section in mind. Itโs called De:Constructed and itโs all about coffee and sneakers.
Taking place Wednesday at the expanded new Deadstock Coffee, De:Constructed is โthe intersection between coffee and sneakersโ and will feature โunique drinks,โ sneakers โbroken down to their basics,โ and talks from โsome of the game changers in the community.โ
Sharing the co-hosting duties along with Deadstock is Coffee Feed PDX, whose Giovanni Fillari will be the moderator for a panel discussion that includes: Ian Williams (Deadstock Coffee), Zan Derven (Tailored Roasters), and Brett Felchner (Barista Portland).
The event kicks off at 6:00pm and the best part is, itโs free to attend! But if you are a kind soul who understands the logistical nightmares of planning events and want to help the hosts establish a more accurate headcount, you can RSVP for the event through the De:Constructed Eventbrite page.
Itโs going to be a kickinโ event. So go drink some coffee and check out some shoes. But do NOT, and I canโt be more clear about this, do NOT spill a single drop of liquid.
