SNIPES

ANOTHER ONE! Today we opened a real gem in the Złote Tarasy shopping centre in Warsaw! We moved our store there and tripled the size to 270 square meters. The Złote Tarasy shopping centre is located in the heart of Warsaw and is one of the busiest in Poland. Here, we offer our Polish community more variety and an outstanding shopping experience.    Poland is a major market for us, with a growing streetwear culture that's lit. Expanding here means connecting deeper with our Polish community, infecting them with that SNIPES spirit. Pull up if you're around! Celebrate the grand opening with us - we've got special deals, DJ beats, and free candy! Don't miss out! #snipes #snipeusa #snipesknows

CELEBRATING OUR WORLDWIDE COMMUNITIES – You know that we love our diverse neighborhoods and diving into the history of different cultures! So, it’s time for a little recap:   May was Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! In celebration, we partnered with Canal Street Market, a curated retail market, food hall & community space, for our "New Waves" experience! Together, we celebrated the resilience and cultural richness of AAPI communities over fireside chats, Asian-inspired dishes, a vibrant night market, and more! From traditions passed down through generations to the countless contributions that have shaped our history and our future, we continue to uplift the voices of AAPI communities. #snipes #snipeusa #snipesknows

EAR TO THE STREETS – As we continue introducing some of our SNIPES colleagues from the US, we would like to turn the spotlight to Gabrielle Golden, Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist, this week.     Gabrielle has redefined the recruiting experience at SNIPES, providing candidates with seamless introductions to our culture. As a mentor and role model, she continues to inspire the SNIPES family, embodying our brand ethos both internally and externally, and setting a benchmark for what it means to be a part of our team.    We look forward to introducing you to more inspiring SNIPES personalities! #snipes #snipeusa #snipesknows

NO CULTURE WITHOUT COMMUNITY! Soccer fever hit us hard last week. We recently supported the "Im Namen der Straße” (“In the Name of the Street") event series of Outreach e.V., an organization that is committed to mobile and socio-spatially oriented youth work and thus offers support to young people in the Berlin area. Together we kicked off a free soccer tournament for the Berlin youth.     20 young women and 20 young men were able to put their soccer skills to the test at the free event. I They went head-to-head in 2 vs. 2 matches on 8 pitches over four hours. And guess what? Thanks to our partner adidas, everyone walked away with awesome prizes!     But that's not all! The kids could also get a fresh cut from a barber, some cool henna tattoos, and enjoy some drinks from California Icetea — all for free.      The positive vibes and gratitude from everyone were off the charts! Big ups to everyone who made it happen! #snipes #snipeusa #snipesknows

EURO 2024 is loading, and UK rap artist Aitch and German rapper Luciano cooked the unofficial anthem of the Championship! ⚽   And if you watch the music video to “BADDIES”, you will spot Aitch performing in one of our SNIPES shirts! https://lnkd.in/eCFFrhfC     This is how we are merging a global sports event with street culture and resonating deeply with our community. As the EURO heats up, we’ll be rolling our more activations around Aitch and the song to give back to our community and create money can’t buy experiences. Stay tuned! #snipes #snipeusa #snipesknows

SEASON OPENING – We've been rolling with our SNIPES crew for a while now, and one thing's for sure – they love Festivals! And we can hardly wait for the festival season to start as well!  One of our most important channels are events where we sponsor a SNIPES stage, set up a store on the festival ground or make our soundbooth available to talented peeps to spit their bars – just to give a taste of what we're bringing on. Festivals are the perfect place to soak in that community spirit. We love that energy, those positive vibes, and the chance to link up with everyone. That's why SNIPES got big plans for this year and will of course be at the most relevant hip-hop events in Europe.   Which festivals worldwide do you think SNIPES shouldn’t miss this year? Drop your thoughts! #snipes #snipeusa #snipesknows

YOU CAN’T TEACH HEART - Continuing to introduce some of our outstanding colleagues, this week we celebrate John Ference, Sr. Manager of Learning & Development at SNIPES in the United States.    John exemplifies what SNIPES stands for at its core: His innate ability to elevate every experience and 'connect the dots' brings our brand vision to vivid life.

NEVER STOP HUSTLIN' – Recently, 22 of our trainers met at our flagship store in Cologne for their annual international trainers' meeting!    The store managers who are responsible for implementing various Training & Development topics and new processes in their regions are part of our trainer gang. The aim of the meeting was to brainstorm strategies and dive into new topics through interesting presentations and hands-on workshops, so that after the intensive time together everyone is heading in the same direction and knows what challenges are ahead. Therefore, they could not only count on the expertise of our T&D department, but also received interesting insights from the top as our CRO, our Senior Head of Sales as well as our Head of Merchandising & Operations shared their knowledge.    Once again, everyone put in that work and swapped some fresh perspectives in a vibrant exchange. And you know it wasn't all grind: they turned up in the evening with some bowling action, showing they’re not just top dogs in sales 🎳    Big shoutout to everyone involved. Catch you next year!    #snipes #snipesknows
