Sneakers are one of the most popular fashion statements in the world. You can find celebrities like Jay Z, Ed Sheran, Wiz Khalifa, Kendall Jenner, and many others rocking their casual look with sneakers. Popular celebrity sneakers such as Adidas Original, Veja Wata, Gucci Ace, and the Nike Air Max are some of the most popular sneakers. These brands are not only worn by celebrities but also by some business leaders and top-tech CEOs such as Mark Zuckerberg.
Due to the popularity and demand, quality sneakers can fetch a hefty price. If you want the show-stopping, traffic causing kinds of sneakers, then you might have to pay more than $100. A majority of sneaker lovers have been short-changed by vendors and online platforms that sell fakes. It was because of this issue that Mike The Compass decided to start his YouTube channel known as A Sneaker Life.
