15 Sneaker Twitter Accounts You're Not Following But Should Be

Earlier this week @complexsneakers dropped their top 15 sneaker twitter accounts list.  As expected, sneaker twitter did not appreciate the listing.  Most of the accounts lack personality and do not interact with their followers.  Complex did not distinguish "must follow" accounts from "should follow" accounts. They might as well have added @nike to the list.  Sneaker twitter does not follow corporate accounts because we want to, but because we have to.  @Shop_Swoosh created a list that we all can relate to. 


Looking at all the lists that get created multiple times a year, I realized that there are people that share the culture with us that don't get the recognition because they are overshadowed by the larger accounts.  Most of the links that you see from @j23app and @solelinks come from their followers, either tipping them off or tweeting them out for all to use. 


These accounts, while they don't have a large following, are great people for the culture.  I won't tell you why you should follow them, their tweets speak for themselves.  I will say that these people aren't corporate accounts and they don't tweet to make affiliate money.  These people do it strictly for the love of the game.  These accounts have been very helpful to their followers providing info, oops, history and knowledge.  These are real people, that you probably aren't following, but should be; especially if you are on sneaker twitter. 


Give them a follow and see why these people are more vital to sneaker twitter than a lot of other accounts that get all the recognition.
