A Peak Inside John Mayer's Splendid Sneaker Collection
As a self confessed sneakerhead, it is not surprising that John Mayer own hundreds of sneakers in his collection. For the sneaker community, collecting sneakers is already considered a lifestyle. The sneakerheads subculture was rooted from the basketball and hip hop culture and music. Although most of the sneakers are originally created and used for athletic performance, most sneakerheads rarely wear their pairs. John Mayer is different as he likes to show off his sneakers when he’s out and about. Among the best sneakers that he rocked are listed below.
8 Nike React 87
It was in 2018 when Nike React 87 emerges into the sneaker community and gave the consumers a breath of fresh air. It is a lightweight runner which is perfect for the summer months as it is extremely comfortable. Although it is not as great as the other releases in the recent years, it is still considered a great pair. John Mayer was seen wearing the Nike React 87 in the Light Beige with Chalk and Signal Blue design. Nike React 87 is currently selling for $143 to $329.
7 Nike Air Presto
The influence of the 39-year-old designer Virgil Abloh in the sneaker community has been strong these past few years. He has remarkable track records in the fashion industry but his designs for Nike’s sneakers built his career. Abloh collaborated with Off-White™ and Nike to create The Ten and until to this day, it has been one of the most successful sneaker releases in the history. Luckily, the Lucky singer was able to grab one of the Off-White™ x Nike Air Presto. The estimated price for Off-White™ x Nike Air Presto ranges from $880 to $990.
6 Nike Air Max
When Sean Wotherspoon won the Nike Vote Forward competition in 2017, the following year his creation was brought to life in 2018.
