Being labeled hypebeast now means you are in possession of the most popular streetwear pieces. You have numerous OFF WHITE & Jordan sneakers, tons of Supreme clothing, and we can’t forget those Gucci LV and Dior. The transition is a reflection of the times. Possessing as many hype pieces as you can accumulate now gives you perceived cultural cache online, which for some in this scene, is all that matters. The ever expanding re-sale market is also softening the blow of being labeled as a hypebeast. Accumulating items that hold high value is now seen as smart shopping investment.
