What's a sneakerhead?
What's a "sneaker"? A "sport"/"basketball" shoe?
Sport shoes are my main kind of shoe cuz 1) I walk a lot, and my feet hurt if I don't use a sport shoe to do so; and 2) I'm tall
-- "oh we don't have this cool formal shoe in 46, we only have ridiculously looking things in that size, it's the same to you, right?"
But I don't collect them nor care about brands, I always buy the cheapest with the least flashy garbage around
A sneaker is more or less a basketball shoe and adjacent styles of athletic footwear.
Sneaker collecting started to become a thing in the 70s in the Hip Hop scene in NYC. Sneakers gave people the ability to easily customize their shoes to match a personal style, painting them, dying them etc. In the 80s you got the Nike's Air Jordans, which blew up the scene. You'd have a lot of shoe companies working with different celebs to drive the popularity of the Sneaker. It rapidly takes on the properties of a status symbol.
Now you have Sneakerheads, which is basically a consumer identity that is willing to spend a lot of time and money to ensure that they have a large collection of sneakers that many don't even wear. As with many things, I think there is something cool in there that was ruined by hyper consumptive capitalism.
People are using shoes as funko pops?
More or less, its got different idiosyncrasies but definitely a lot of overlap.
A miserable little pile of Jordans
Vans, converse, jordans, nike, shit like that
Never have any of that cuz too poor
