    Hello, I am Free The Culture, sneaker enthuasist and streetwear influencer. I have been into fashion since I was a teenager. I always enjoy anime and music, this passion led me to express myself through my clothing.
    As men, we often leave ourselves subject to monotony. Sometimes, we have to think outside of the box to achieve a desired look.
    On this channel, you will see outfits for men and sneaker reviews. I will show you how to style everything from men's casualwear to men's formal wear.
    My speciality is Yeezys but I can show how to wear all sorts of shoes, including Converse High Tops, Vans, Ultraboost, Black Airforce 1s. White Airforce 1s, Jordan 1s, and many more.
    Be sure to check out my lastest videos!

    When I couldn’t get the Bruce Lee Kobe 5’s in 2020. I just stopped caring about shoes like that. Especially hyped stuff.

      @@Fitsbyfree it's complete bullshit from resellers and hypebeast who are boottlookers for corporations. Probably 90% of these didn't even go to real fans who actually wear them. Then an overpriced shoe will go for even more. Making sure poor people can't rep their favorite player because 1. they have to pay a reseller's fee and add 50 to 100 MSRP and 2. can't find access to since Nike/retailers let losers control their stock and create artificial scarcity

    Just this Saturday for jordan 11, low space jam at 10 am, had my size 12.5, put my card 3 number in, and wait this at 10 am, and it sold out BS done with these bots once sneakers because a business and the can reselling them for a profit it hard to get them as someone who brought sneakers since the 80s this doesn't make no damn sense the good old day when you can walk in a sneakers store buy the sneakers you want even it came out week ago Nike you need to do better or true sneakers lovers would just stop buying them .

I stopped for awhile but now I'm back in full effect. Buy what you love 💘. Art. But wear them . He's and many that don't care are paying the true price now., 😂😂😂

    I honestly don't understand why sneaker culture exists, maybe because I just buy custom vans and don't care about brand names but it just never made sense to me. Especially when there's no such thing as pants culture, sock culture, shirt culture and so on. Like I can kinda understand vintage shopping, but even then I don't understand it because the materials in the clothing will wear down and stop being usable after time
