It’s all well and good being a sneakerhead until you realise just how much you’ve been spending on all those fresh kicks. Well, we’ve compiled a guide on the best way to pick up some heat for the low. There are ways of doing it, you just have to think outside the box.
Sneakers in this day and age are crazily expensive. A pair of the latest release can set you back £150-£200 easily, and that’s without having to turn to the resell market. The fun can easily be taken out of the habit of collecting sneakers due to the financial cost of grabbing the latest pair. However, there are ways around this, you just have to know where to look. We’ve written this guide to point you in the direction of where you can pick up pairs for cheap. They may not be the most recent hyped release, however, you’d be surprised with what you can find if you look hard enough.

On That Note
If you’re looking to cut down on your spending or you’re just tight on funds, there’s always a cheaper option. You may have to settle for something that isn’t the latest and most hyped release ever, but you can still have an impressive sneaker collection for a lot less than you would be spending on hyped sneakers. Even if you have the cash to be splashing out on larger purchases, you should try and search for a bargain every now and again – there can be a lot of fun involved.
