2. Events
You can now meet other sneaker enthusiasts damn near any weekend of the year through local events or big time shows like DXC, SneakerCon and Sneaker Pimps. This means you can meet people in person instead of judging them based on what you see scrolling through Instagram and Twitter. And that means, more friends to look out for you when you need one of those “must-have” releases.
