Since I was young, I have always been interested in streetwear and footwear. I got made fun of for wearing sneakers, or "boy shoes", more than I wore flip-flops and sparkly pink shoes. But I never let that stop me from buying more. I have built my sneaker collection to over 30 pairs…and that's not even close to how many shoes I dream of owning. However, the past has barely considered women a part of sneaker culture, as it has been aimed predominantly towards men, full of men's sizes and designs. This has forced women who love shoes into buying men's shoes (if they can even find a pair that small). Through keeping up with the newest releases and designers, I am starting to see that sneaker culture is shifting towards women. Over the past few years, we have seen brands such as Nike and Adidas designing and releasing more shoes specifically for women by women. So, ladies, it's our time to shine as the sneakerheads we are.
