hype beast

Sneaker line camper

A hype beast is someone obsessively devoted to acquiring trendy, brand-name products—especially streetwear, sneakers, and limited-edition releases.

The term is usually dismissive, suggesting the person cares more about status and labels than genuine style or quality: He's such a hype beast, camping out for every Supreme drop.
