sneakerhead
Athletic footwear devotee
A sneakerhead is someone deeply invested in collecting, trading, and knowing about athletic shoes—especially limited-edition releases and vintage styles.
The culture centers on brands like Nike and Adidas, with collectors tracking drop dates and resale values: He's such a sneakerhead, he camps outside stores for new Jordans.
