BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

10 Fashionable Female Sneakerheads to Follow on Instagram


It’s a simple fact that, to this day, there are far more sneaker styles out there for men than for women, which has historically made the already-cultish world of sneaker collecting, buying, and selling a bit of a boy’s club. In fact, on a personal note: about a year ago a store clerk assumed I was male when I asked to try on a men’s style. (It was only when I removed my beanie that he realized his mistake.) But things are changing for the better, and on March 26th, which Nike has dubbed “Air Max Day,” the brand will release its new VaporMax shoe—a groundbreaking piece of footwear design for many reasons, one of which being that it’s the first unisex Air Max, ever. Influencers around the world have already gotten their hands on a pair, taking to Instagram to share some styling inspiration. Here, 10 fashionable female sneakerheads to follow on Instagram, from creatives like Ava Nirui to cool young models like Paloma Elsesser, Aleali May, and Diana Veras.
