Colman Commons Grand Opening

Open Mic Night: A BIPOC Centered Open Mic
Inside’s Open Mic Nights are back! Recurring every late Friday of the month at Colman Commons, the Open Mic Night is for the community to vibe, connect, and share. Grab a drink, hit the stage, and be part of the community that's been waiting for this moment.
SOLEstory: A Conversation About Sneaker Culture from the Maker Perspective
SOLE STORY: Is the sneaker game dead — or just being pronounced dead by people who didn't build it? Five lifers (restorers, customizers, stylists, strategists) on how the game lives and who it lives for. Hosted by Takiyah Ward inside The RETROspective. Sat 7/25, 4–7PM, Colman Commons.
SOLEswap
What does the future of Black lesbian style look like?
Join us for SOLESWAP, a community gathering celebrating Black sapphic fashion, creativity, and self-expression. Together we'll explore how style tells our stories, builds community, and creates space for us to show up authentically.
RETROspective - Public Open
Thirteen original artworks — one for each Air Jordan silhouette, 1 through 13 — magnifying the materials that made the world obsess: tumbled leather, python embossing, foam midsoles, rubber outsoles. Created by Takiyah "TDUB" Ward — the Seattle artist behind the 2020 Black Lives Matter street mural and founder of The Re-Sole 206, the region's only sneaker care facility — the show treats the most influential footwear line in history as what it is: revolutionary design, peak form and function.
