Shoe. Some people have a couple of pairs, some don't care for style or price, they just want comfortable shoes. But then there are the 'Sneakerheads'. These are the people that are willing to spend every dime on a pair of shoes, especially sneakers. Anyone can call themselves a sneakerhead, but there are always standards. So if you want to start your collection, or even expand, here are 5 pairs of sneakers that every sneakerhead needs.
1. Stan Smith - Adidas
A pair of white Stan Smiths are classics. You can choose from so many colors that accent the back of the shoe and make it different from the rest. A pair of plain white tennis shoes go with everything and can never do wrong. If you're looking for a way to spice them up, Adidas drops a different pair of limited edition Stan Smiths every couple of months with different designs, patterns, and colors on the backs and even sometimes the sides of the shoe. You have to watch for them though. These kicks are a fan favorite and sell out fast.
2. Air Force 1 - Nike
These are a classic. Very popular in the '90s, never went out of style, but are even more popular now, the AF1 gives comfort and style at the same time. The all-white ones are a pair you need in your closet but every so often Nike will collab with another brand, artist, or just make a new version of the shoe with a slight change. Watch out for those small changes, because they could be worth a lot more than you think. Nike has done many collaborations with Off White and many other brands to put out new kinds of AF1s so check them out!
3. Air Jordan 1
The Air Jordan 1. Out of the 26 different styles of Jordan's, these may be the most popular. In multiple colors, and different color combinations, first released in 1985 by the Chicago Bulls all-star, Michael Jordan, they are still one of the most popular pairs of shoes in the world. These are a pair you need in your closet as an everyday shoe, but don't crease them!
4. Black Old-School Vans
Old-school Vans are your go-to beat-up shoes. You can wear them with almost anything and destroy them. The Vans brand is known for having the best skating shoes, meaning they won't tear easily. Getting dirty, that's a different story. Throw them in the wash and they'll look like new! If you're looking for a plain black and white shoe, these are the way to go, and as a sneakerhead, you'll need these in your closet.
5. Puma Suede
Now, these might not be as popular, but with the many different colors, the Puma Suede's will last forever. These are a good quality pair of kicks that are stylish and comfortable. They might not be your first choice but sometimes, and a lot of the time it will go with almost any outfit.
