Sneaker culture

Sneaker culture refers to the community and lifestyle surrounding the design, collection, and wearing of athletic shoes, particularly branded ones. It encompasses a mix of fashion, sports, and streetwear influences. Sneakers have evolved from functional athletic gear to fashion statements, with limited-edition releases creating hype and demand. Enthusiasts may collect rare models, sometimes at high prices, and sneaker culture often intersects with music, art, and social movements. Events like sneaker conventions and online forums foster engagement, making it a vibrant aspect of modern youth and urban culture.
