Sneakers are often the entry-point to fashion for many men. And while the passion with which users and fans document their love of trainers on Instagram can sometimes border on fetishism (whatever floats your boat), there truly is an account out there for everyone.

The app is chocka with collectors plugged in to the latest drops, archivers with an inside-track on the rumor mill, hoarders with inexplicable hook-ups for the rarest sneakers, plus dedicated stores, fan pages, and more. Here’s just some of the best to flex your thumbs at.

GC911

The Korean sneakerhead known as GC911 enjoys two things: incredibly sought-after trainers and taking pictures of incredibly sought-after trainers. And he snaps loads – over 15,000 pictures so far. It’s a visual onslaught that won’t be for everyone, but as a buffet of vivid, detail-fixated sneaker photography, there are few better.

Gary Warnett

The daddy of British trainer journalism, what Gary Warnett doesn’t know about simply is not worth knowing. He has a curiosity for the stranger side of sneaker culture, digging out hilariously dated adverts and releases to sit besides his impeccably curated choices of modern footwear. His taste leans towards New Balance and remains, like his writing, always accessible.

John Geiger

Referred to as the “sneaker customization don”, you can rely on Geiger for stuff you won’t see anywhere else. A sneaker scientist with a strong personal style and the world at his feet (yep). The six foot four Pittsburgh-native has gone from cult figure to legitimate designer with his debut shoe – the ‘001’, a ribbed-sharktooth sole sneaker with two-tone perforated black leather – dropping this winter.
