It’s not always easy keeping up with trends. Especially when that trend is sneakers. Sneakers just aren’t any type of footwear and keeping up with the latest kicks is an art form. And for many trendy fellas, a great pair of sneakers is essential for everyday wear. I’ve been an active sneaker head since the age of 12. My first pair of kicks were amazing blue, black & white Air Max 90s. Lord, I rocked those ‘til my left bunion ripped through the material. And even then, I just put on a pair of black socks to mask the hole of my trendy situations. Yes, it was that serious.
Today the seriousness continues, as sneaker heads line up for days, sometimes weeks, just to get a pair of the latest sneakers to drop. It’s an epidemic – one that has inflicted many with the sneaker bug. The veterans often know the styles and release dates faster than your average retailer. And they’re not the only ones – celebrities receive unprecedented access that allows them to keep their sneaker game tight. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Bow Wow and Wale are at the top of the list. The sneaker game can be a serious maze for the average customer. How does one without such expertise figure these simple things out? I’m glad you asked. Here’s your guide to the best sneaker stores and websites for hard-to-find kicks.
