Origins of Sneaker Culture
• Limited edition releases create hype and frenzy among sneakerheads, often
leading to long queues and online selling platforms.
• Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma have collaborated with designers,
musicians, and artists, making each release a coveted item.
• Sneakerheads trace the origin of the movement to the 1970s and ’80s, when sneakers were popularized by basketball icon Michael Jordan,
and by hip-hop stars who were known not just for their unique rhythms, rhymes and lyrics, but also for their style or their “swag”
• One of the key pivotal groups that focused on sneakers would be Run-DMC,. One of the shoes they made popular were the Adidas Shell
Toes. It was a staple, and they even made a song about it. People were paying attention not only to what was coming out of their mouths,
but also what they were wearing.
• Collaborations provide an opportunity for brands to tap into different markets, reach new audiences, and generate buzz around their
products. They also allow the collaborating partner to showcase their creativity and bring a fresh perspective to the sneaker design

The researchers also found that for many Sneakerheads, sneakers are important to their social identities, which is the concept of
being self-related to the groups they belong to. Matthews said sneakers are part of how Sneakerheads connect. They share
norms, practices and even a vocabulary, such as the term “drops,” which references the release date for a certain shoe, and
Everest
“color way,” Cantu
which is the particular color scheme a shoe mightDrew
come in. Remy Marsh
