Every sneakerhead has a favorite brand or style of shoe. For Derek Wilson, that shoe is the Nike Air Force 1.
“Air Force 1 was the second shoe I ever purchased for myself. So it has a special place. Ever since, I have always had [Air Force 1s] on my radar.”
Being a sneakerhead to Derek means, “Being a person who collects kicks for the love of the shoe and the journey that comes attached to acquiring them.” Also a photographer, Derek is able to appreciate the detail-oriented designs from shoe designers. “A big thing for me is being able to tell stories within a sneaker itself…I want people to know that there are still people out there like me that really care about the shoes and the stories being told.”
Sneakerheads come in all shapes, sizes, colors, genders, and locations.
You don't have to be from Chicago to know Mike.
You don't have to be from Uptown to know Uptowns.
In fact, some of the biggest hotspots for sneakerheads and sneaker culture are in the small towns across America, and no one knows the small town sneakerhead scene like Hibbett | City Gear.
Hibbett started small in rural Alabama in 1945, and this year we're celebrating 75 years of small town sneaker culture and shining the spotlight on small town sneakerheads across the nation in partnership with Nike and Nice Kicks.
