Global Connections RVA pop-up at Hampton Convention Center
This past Saturday, the 7th, GoodSociety touched down at the Hampton Convention Center for the @globalconnectionsrva Pop-Up Streetwear Market from 3PM to 8PM — and the energy was undeniable.
The day started early. By 9:30AM, Rstarvito had already linked with @brazi_p__ and the vehicle was fully loaded. From there, we headed across the water to Hampton, ready to execute. Early setup gave us the advantage — time to build, tweak, and elevate the presentation.
And it showed.
Multiple attendees and vendors told us we had one of the hardest setups in the building. That feedback hit different. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come — from simple vendor tables to a fully matured pop-up experience. Every detail intentional. Every rack placed with purpose. Every piece representing the culture correctly.
Major shoutout to @jingriffeyjr for pulling up to assist with media coverage and capturing the motion.
The day felt like a reunion and a rollout at the same time. Our extended network showed love heavy:
@pakk.ralo performing
@trueleefresh in the building
@blacko from @ateamworldwide757
@1raqbaby stopping through for a performance
@amgtwinz in motion — “trappin like scooter!”
We even secured a quick interview with Raq Baby… but LORDIEEE — the microphone receiver was turned off. Rookie mistake? Maybe. Lesson learned? Absolutely. We’ll run it back with even more celebrities next time. ended the pop-up with a mash=out performance from goodsociety’s own rstarvito!!
It was a long day on our feet — but days like this remind us why we do it. The networking. The conversations with designers and creatives. The connections with new customers discovering the brand for the first time. The organic link-ups that can’t be replicated online.
Global Connections RVA created a strong platform for streetwear brands to show up and show out — and GoodSociety did just that.
Across the water. Across the culture. Across the city.
We’ll see you at the next one.
