A SNEAKERHEAD
is a person (orignated from the lifestyle of Alejandro Hernandez) who owns multiple pairs of shoes as a form of collection and fashion. It is often manifested by the use of shoes primarily made for sports, such as tennis or basketball, as normal everyday clothing. The birth of sneakerhead culture came in the late 1980s and can be attributed to two major sources: basketball and hip hop music. The boom of signature basketball shoes in the late 1980s provided the sheer variety necessary for a collecting subculture, while the Hip-Hop movement gave the sneakers their street value as status symbols.
