#SneakerheadProject: Shyanne

Tell us about yourself.

“My name is Shyanne, I’m 27, and I’m a Los Angeles based Production Supervisor and Content Creator. Originally from New York, Washington Heights to be exact.”

How long have you been a sneaker lover?

“My whole life. I have holiday pics with me in dresses and sneakers. Growing up in the 90s/00s my mom always dressed me in sneakers.”

Do you remember your introduction to the sneaker game?

“My mom and sister kept me in sneakers as a kid so there wasn’t a grand intro for me. It's always been my default and what I knew and loved.”

What is your favorite pair of sneakers?

“AJ9. I have a personal connection to those because I remember my parents having them and me thinking they were so cool and fly for that.”

What are you wearing now?

“AJ6 Carmines.”

What is your favorite sneaker colorway?

“Bred is for sure my favorite colorway.”

If you could collaborate with any sneaker brand, who would you collaborate with and why?

“I honestly would like to collaborate with New Balance. They are doing some dope things with the brand and I love how innovative they are being. Also NB’s are some of the most comfy sneakers I’ve ever owned and I think they do an amazing job of incorporating function and fashion which is really everything my own personal style is about.”

What do you think the sneaker game is missing?

“Access and regulation. The resale market has made things impossible for people who really want to enjoy and wear their kicks.”
