Broadway x Comet: The Extra Topping Raffle
Where scarcity meets culture, and retail becomes an event.
Sold-Out Sneakers, Next-Level Hype
What happens when a sneaker that’s already sold out everywhere lands exclusively at Broadway?
You get a frenzy, a raffle, and a sell-out in minutes.
Broadway partnered with Comet, the cult sneaker label, to launch Extra Topping (Ice Cream Special)—a limited-edition shoe that had sneakerheads across the country buzzing. With just 35 pairs allocated to Broadway, we transformed a product drop into a cultural event.
The result? 200+ entries for 35 pairs, a 15-minute sellout, and a wave of local hype that cemented Broadway as Hyderabad’s sneaker hub.
