ARE YOU A SNEAKERHEAD??!?!
Are you a SneakerHead?? What exactly IS a SneakerHead??? Most people have their own defintion and what they think a "SneakerHead" is. Let us get deeper and give our definition and our thoughts about the term and its meaning.
SNEAKER·HEAD [snee-ker-hed] –noun Slang . 1. A person who collects limited, rare, or flat out exclusive kicks. 2. A person with background or knowledge of certain sneakers & looks at shoes as artwork. That cat always rocks rare sneaks. Dude HAS to be a sneakerhead. YES! A Sneakerhead to us is someone who is a mere collector of art and appreciates everything about it. When most people think of SneakerHeads and they think of the guy that goes out and buys every single 'it" shoe that comes out, we would consider that a "HYPE BEAST".
HYPE·BEAST [hahyp-beest] –noun Slang . 1. A person who only follows a trend to appear cool or in style 2. A person who wears what is hyped up because they lack sense of style or originality. He is wearing Ed hardy jeans, an Ed hardy hat, an Ed hardy shirt & Ed hardy shoes! He is an Ed hardy Hypebeast!

Now we are not saying do not go get Jordan's everytime they come out.. because lets face it, Jordan's are dope and hard as hell to get! However as a Sneakerhead you have to understand that Shoes are considered art work, the more rarer the better. Here is a question to ask yourselves, say you want to buy a painting for your house and you are stuck choosing between a very rare painting or a painting that everyone and their mother has already. Would you pay thousands of dollars for the painting that everyone has? No! You would get that diamond in the ruff! Even though it may not be the the top selling artwork or the most popular, it has character to it and you are being original. It is the same with sneakers! Especially if you are going for style. A true SneakerHead focuses on a shoe that has characteristics that embody their own personality. That could even be Chuck Taylor, Lugz, or whatever you like but just know that whatever shoe(s) you pick make sure they are shoes that represent you or have everything you would want in in them, not just because they are popular. Consider them that "rare painting", because lets face it, shoes are shoes but ART IS BEAUTIFUL!
