The Most Valuable Celebrity Brand Endorsers

Kanye West
Twitter followers: 13.8M  Buzzy collab: Adidas
Biggest impact on the industry: West has the smallest social presence on this list and just one shoe collaboration, but the entrepreneur and rapper has carefully crafted his fashion image, and his many followers watch him closely. The result of such brand-building has been one of the most-buzzed-about sneaker releases of the year: the Yeezy Boost, which debuted during New York Fashion Week. The Yeezy Boost 350 Low, West’s second style in the line, sold out in just 12 minutes.


Rihanna
Instagram followers: 24M  Twitter followers: 49.8M Facebook fans: 81.6M  Buzzy collabs: Puma, Stance, Dior
Biggest impact on the industry: Fans are still waiting for a new album, but with all of her side projects, it’s easy to see why that hasn’t happened yet. The singer is the creative director at Puma, contributes to Stance socks, debuted a perfume called RiRi and is the new face of Dior. She’s also Instagram gold when she shares style moments featuring Sergio Rossi, Christian Louboutin and Tom Ford.


Kendall & Kylie
Instagram followers: 31.9M; 33.9M  Twitter followers: 10.8M; 12M Facebook fans:7.5M; 8.8M  Buzzy collabs: Kendall + Kylie, Topshop, PacSun
Biggest impact on the industry: Whatever the Jenners wear, sells; among their favorites are Tom Ford, Aquazzura and Yeezy Boosts. So it makes sense that the two youngest members of the Kardashian clan would debut a line of apparel and footwear. The Kendall + Kylie Collection, in partnership with Marc Fisher, hits stores for spring ’16.





Pharell Williams
Instagram followers: 5.4M Twitter followers: 7.36M Facebook fans: 10.9M 
Buzzy collabs: Timberland, Adidas Originals, Colette Paris
Biggest impact on the industry: The producer and superstar musician debuted his Supercolor pack in 2015 (along with several other Adidas shoe collabs) and isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Meanwhile, he’s also one of the minds behind tastemaker street-wear store and brand Billionaire Boys Club in New York and took home the CFDA Fashion Icon Award in May.




Taylor Swift
Instagram followers: 41.5M Twitter followers: 61.8M Facebook fans: 72.1M
 Buzzy collabs: Keds, JD.com
Biggest impact on the industry: Taylor Swift is a fashion and music force. With her posse of friends, including Karlie Kloss and Gigi Hadid, Swift’s power lies in her social clout — a post of her in a bikini caused a buying spree on Asos. Swift’s ongoing line with Keds has cornered the tween and teen market — she’s one of the label’s best partners yet — plus, she’s an honorary Victoria’s Secret angel.



Beyoncé Knowles
Instagram followers: 42.6M Twitter followers: 14.1M Facebook fans: 63.4M Buzzy collabs: Topshop, Flash Tattoos
Biggest impact on the industry: Last year, Queen Bey teamed with Topshop on an athletic line and also debuted a collection of temporary tattoos. In her everyday life, the star has been spotted in looks by Adidas, Converse and Chelsea Paris. For public appearances, she often sports styles by her pal Giuseppe Zanotti. And there are rumors that the two might collaborate soon.

A Beginner's Guide to Sneaker Terminology

With the sneaker game changing so drastically and a new generation jumping into an obsession, I thought it was only appropriate that I get the newcomers up to speed on how to talk that talk when it comes to kicks. I decided to put together my own kicktionary of terms. Check out my blog  Beginner's Guide to Sneaker Terminology.  AGLETS Aglets are those little things that are on the end of shoelaces. They used to be made of simple plastic but now, they come in everything from carbon fiber to custom labeled versions to Jesus piece-matching gold. BEATERS Beaters are those kicks you always choose to wear, even after they've been worn over and over again. In fact, at a certain point, you start to love every bit of "character" that shows in the form of creases, scuffs, stains, and that always lovely stench. Well, maybe not the stench. And without fail, even if you have 1,000 pairs of sneakers, you wind up with a pair of beaters. COLORWAY A sneaker's colorway...

Top 10 Most Recognized Shoes of All Time

1. STAN SMITH The shoes that are so popular, many of its younger generation of wearers don't know they're named after a former world no. 1 tennis player. Stan Smith won the US Open in 1971 and Wimbledon in 1972, but he's perhaps best known for his endorsement of the Adidas classic that became a fashion staple in 2015.   2.                              CHUCK TAYLOR ALL-STARS Chuck Taylor was an Indiana-born college basketball player who began playing for a Converse-sponsored team -- the All-Stars. Touring US colleges as a brand representative, Taylor became so influential that in 1932, the brand named a pair after him. "Chucks" were the first in a very long line of celebrity shoe endorsements and became one of the best selling basketball shoes of all time.  3. NIKE: CORTEZ Designed by US Olympic track coach Bill Bowerman, the Nike Cortez was marketed as the first mod...
