Has Sneaker Culture Lost Its Way?
02/03/22 • 21 min
3 Listeners
The term "sneaker culture" used to mean something; a descriptor of what made the sneaker community so tight knit. Nowadays it feels like the culture has changed. With so many choices, niche markets like NFTs, and collecting for the sake of likes on social media, Matt wonders if the world of sneakers has lost its way? Sneaker love is about the shoes and how they make you feel. Does that matter to the masses anymore?
