History

[edit]

The whole history section is way off-topic. It belongs to its own article about the history of sneakers. This article is about the term "Sneakerhead", which it doesn't even explain profoundly, I'm as clueless as before. 188.60.132.108 (talk) 18:17, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sneakerhead

[edit]

"sneakerhead" is a trademark of Nike. It must be addressed as a Nike brand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.67.237.253 (talk) 18:11, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

As someone who is very knowledgeable about sneakerhead culture, I'm very surprised that they removed my external links to websites like Nice Kicks, Kicks on Fire, Soletron and Sole Collector. They also removed a video link that I included from Bloomberg TV, which is about the rise of the sneaker collecting industry and how there is a completely new sub-industry rising up to serve the fanatical collectors. If that isn't relevant info, then I don't know how the existing links and descriptions are.

Article lacks a lot of pertinent info on the industry, the history (namely the influence of early Japanese sneaker collecting and of course Michael Jordan). Doesn't include info on a lot of the industry's major companies or brands either. Let us post to explain the true history! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonofpowhatan (talkcontribs) 03:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The soletron link is the type of link to avoid as described in WP:ELNO #5. I self-reverted the other links. Honestly, I'm not completely sold on them and honestly believe removing nearly all the links and replacing them with a DMOZ link would be the best option, but I don't really have the energy or inclination to get into that now. The Bloomberg link is be more about promoting Soletron, but it does have some good stats. While I believe that there are better ways to include the good stuff, but, as above, I don't feel like getting into it at the moment. Cheers.

The definition of the sneakerhead is accurate and general. Sneakerhead will definitely collect all kinds of shoes not only about sport, basketball, and skateboarding. The history of the sneakerhead should provide more details for it. Sneakerhead slang is interesting and it should be more catalog for shoe style. The article need more citation for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.51.93.140 (talk) 08:04, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Room for expansion, especially the culture

[edit]

This article has a lot of room for expansion, because sneaker collecting (styles, marketing, reselling) covers different ground than sneaker culture (international culture, wealth signifiers). I'm periodically expanding it, and of course other editors can help; some possible sources:
