In this episode of Hibbett x Nike's Small Town Sneakerhead series, meet Decatur, GA's sneaker collector extraordinaire Kenya Heard.
Her sneaker closet, which isn't a closet at all but a full-sized room in her home, is organized neatly from floor to ceiling with shelf after shelf of sneakers. On display are high-heat styles like the Air Max 97 "Swavorski," the "Jonny Kilroy" AJ 9 Retro, and Nike x Stranger Things "Hawkins High" Nike Air Tailwind 79.
Kenya's sneaker obsession started young. She vividly remembers asking her dad to buy her a pair of Jordans as a kid and being told that he couldn't buy her a pair of sneakers, but if she really wanted them, then she could get a job and buy them herself. So that's just what she did.
Today, Kenya does just about everything she can to get her hands on the sneakers she wants, including becoming a Hibbett | City Gear Rewards member. With her membership, she can enter launch raffles via the Hibbett mobile app, and earn Points and Awards for her purchases.
Plus, when she connects her Nike Membership with her Rewards account, Kenya can unlock access to Member-only products, events, and more.
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.
