Just curious, are there any similar events like Bread & Butter Berlin in the States? For all who don't know about Bread & Butter its a "tradeshow for selected brands". They have some nice sneaker and streetwear brands showing off their latest stuff over there. Check these pics from Bread & Butter Berlin (http://www.styledepartment.com/schuhe/15/bread-and-butter-berlin/).

the main ones in the US are Magic (big money brands), Pool (little dudes like Upper Playground and smaller), and Project-lots of denim I believe. None of them are invite only, but I think the entry fees weed out a lot of people.

^I know for Magic you just have to get clear to get in and it's free I think.

there's no way magic is free. do you mean to attend or to present. i know Pool is something like $4k. and Magic is the big show.

i'm sure you gotta have proper cred, like letterhead/business cards, and intent to buy. otherwise that shit would just be killed with 15 year old idiots.
