Sneakerhead & Custom Sneakers
Whats up Steemit Fam?
I'm a lowkey "Sneakerhead"; for those that don't know what a "Sneakerhead" is...Its a person who collects rare, limited released sneakers such as: Nikes, Jordans, Adidas, Reebok, etc. I also do sneaker customization and would like to share them with you all.
Sneakerheads search the internet, mark their calendars for release dates, camp out and stand in line for hours sometimes days before the store opens, just to get their hands on the most popular and in demand sneakers on the market.
It is somewhat like a cult community and is apart of our fashion and hip hop culture. We have our own terms such as Heat, which means a very popular sneaker that looks fly. Colorway, which means the color scheme of the sneaker. There are an array of sneaker website communities, conventions and online market places; Where people buy/sell and trade sneakers.
Customization
Another aspect of the sneakerhead game is sneaker customization. Customizations can vary from different colorways, to having a character theme such as Batman, or inspired by a high end brand such as Gucci.
Here are some examples of some of my own sneakers that I have customized myself. These Nike Huaraches were originally all white or all black.
Nike Huarache Gucci Colorway
Nike Huarache Tiffany & Co.
Nike Huarache "Gold Dust" Colorway
The Nike Huaraches are one of the most comfortable and fashionable sneaker on the shoe market. Legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield was inspired by neoprene water skiing shoes of which he loved because of the comfort. I highly recommend this shoe for fashion, price, and mainly COMFORT.
I appreciate you folks checking out a few of my sneaker customization designs and reading my Sneakerhead introduction. Namaste
