Meet Small Town Sneakerhead Amari Fleming!

Apr 26, 2023

Even though Small Town Sneakerhead Amari Fleming didn't start collecting until about a year ago, her collection is already impressive and growing fast. Check out the Anniston, Alabama native's story here!

Amari has had a heart for sneakers since she was a kid, influenced by her father who has always been into fashion.

Amari's passion for sneakers and status as a true small town sneakerhead gained momentum when started making her own money. Candidly, Amari jokes that her collection may be ramping up a little too fast, but the sneakers she's copped have been worth it -- like her J Balvin Jordan 2s, DJ Khalid Jordan 5s, Lobster Dunks and Liverpool LeBron Air Max 1s.

Living in a small town means fewer ways to access grails like these, but Amari leverages Hibbett.com, the Hibbett | City Gear mobile app, and her local Hibbett store to shop the latest and highest heat styles.

The Small Town Sneakerhead Story

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.
