The streetwear and sneaker industry are the two largest leading subcultures in fashion. Today, we look to both “Hypebeast” and “Sneakerheads” for the latest collections and knowledgeable information behind all the top brands. What defines a “Hypebeast” and “Sneakerhead”? A “Hypebeast”; an influential person who “hypes up” the latest trends in fashion, with the purpose of making a fashion statement.
A “Sneakerhead”; a person who collects many pairs of sneakers and is knowledgeable in all aspects of the shoe industry. Social media has made a strong impact in making this possible by following your favorite Hypebeast and Sneakerheads. Blake Linder is one of both, being one of the youngest leading influencers in the game.
At the young age of 15 years old, Blake started his shoe passion after being gifted his first pair of Zoom Kobe 6 Proto ‘All Star’s by his father. This was the catalyst to his career, where he started his YouTube channel that consists of sneakers reviews and entertaining vlogs accumulating over 100 million views and over 700,000 subscribers.
