How to stay in the Know?

So you've become interested in sneakers and you want to stay up to date so that you won't miss out on new releases and you also want to see the current sneaker trends but you don't know where to start. Today I'll be showing you how you can keep up with all things sneakers! I'll even start from best to worst so you can stay up to date.

Twitter Accounts to Follow

Twitter is the best way to stay in the know because sneaker news always drops first on twitter!

Sneaker Steal @sneakersteal

Sneaker Steal is based out of San Franciso and they release general information on all release dates for major sneaker brands but what makes this account great is that they scour the internet and post big discounts on shoes sold online. They even include early links to hyped sneakers that are about to drop. Early links are product links that take you directly to the product. Sometimes they even send out information on physical stores that are having big sales typically in California. For big online releases they aggregate raffle links from major online sneaker retailers so that you can enter in as many entries as you can go get those hot sneakers you've had you eyes on!

J23 iPhone App @J23app

This is another good sneaker account to follow. This account also drops sneaker information and raffle links just like the previous account. However this account typically associates with Nike and Jordan brand gear. They also occasionally drop restock alerts for popular shoes.

Sole Links @SOLELINKS

This is another aggregator account based out of San Diego. It's pretty much the same as the last two twitter accounts. There's not much difference. This account is more similar to sneaker steal because it caters to a general audience. Which account you choose to follow is based on your choice.

Solecollector

Solecollector is one of the most popular sneaker new websites of all-time. Most of the articles are news information on the latest sneaker releases. The journalism is pretty bad now. In the past the site had a great staff but they left and the articles are pretty much just sneaker news which isn't very exciting. They do have a video series called Sneaker Shopping where they invite a celebrity to go sneaker shopping. During the video the celebrity is interviewed on how they became interested in sneakers and other sneaker related questions. Their other video series is called Full Size Run which is basically the same thing without the shopping.

Hypebeast

Hypebeast is a street fashion and sneaker website that has the latest news on both of these categories. It decent to check out if your interested in learning what street fashion is and what trends are hot. Otherwise I don't check this site out too much. The writers are decent but don't expect any heavy hitting pieces.
