As most Americans are instructed to stay inside their homes, you may be thinking how you can still be a sneakerhead. Lucky for you, using the internet is half of what it takes to be a sneakerhead so you can still flex from your bedroom that you haven’t left in 3 days.
First thing is to take selfies. The best way to show of your shoe is a picture. The internet is really the only place that people ever see your shoes. It’s the best place to share them to people who like sneakers. Twitter is a great place to talk about shoes but Instagram is the best place to post pictures.
If you’re already trapped in the house, try out some fits. If nobody is gonna see you, experiment. I know you’ll only wear that certain pair of Jordans with that single outfit but stop doing that. Go out of your comfort zone.
Hashtags are your best friends when posting. #sneaker #sneakers #sneakerheads are all staple hashtags. Really though, as long as you make sure and get the hashtags under the “read more tab” you can put as many as you like.
Shameless self promotion! My Instagram will be at the bottom if you need tips.
For picture, it’s the same rules as any. Natural lighting is the best to take a pic in unless you need a light with a flash for any kind of reflective material. Do what you need to do and drag any body size mirror near a window for a picture. The muscle pain and scratched walls are totally worth the likes.
Another big part of a sneakerhead is buying and selling shoes. For doing both of these StockX and GOAT are gonna be your best friends. For starters, they’re both safe. Both have a team making sure all sales are legitimate. If anything goes wrong, they also have staff for easy and helpful customer support. They also have the largest collection of sneakers you can find online.
StockX is a great place to start when buying shoes. It’s a literal stock market for sneakers and the best place to check average price. For selling, it has great stats for prices of sneakers as they move up and down. It’ll tell you when to sell and it makes it really easy to make your money back.
GOAT is my favorite place to buy sneakers. GOAT is full of independent sellers that often undercut their prices to sell their shoes. They always have shoes the second they’re released. GOAT also does a Black Friday giveaway with around 100 prizes. Most are being able to buy shoes for their regular retail price but they also giveaway gift cards.
