It used to be that NikeTalk, the Sole Collector forums and Sneakerplay were where you could find some of the biggest sneaker collections and most exclusive sneakers being displayed on the Internet. In the last couple of years, Instgram has become the easiest way for sneaker collectors to show off their collections. With some collectors uploading multiple photos daily, the popular social media platform has taken on the role of the most popular place for sneakerheads to catalog their collections. That said, although we've gone over the females to follow on Instagram and the realities of sneaker collecting with some of the most active collectors, today we want to shine some light on some serious collectors that might not be as well known to everyone. Check out 25 Sneaker Collectors You Should Follow on Instagram and let us know who has the best collection in the comments below.

Not only is Griffin a serious sneaker collector. His vintage jerseys and Starter jackets could make a grown man cry. Follow but be prepared to be jealous.
ThePerfectPair

Clocking in with nearly 40,000 followers it's not hard to wonder why Kenny G. is so popular on the 'gram. He's another collector with some serious PEs in his collection.

JMB has an impressive amount of basketball memorabilia. And between his sneaker knowledge and collection he's definitely someone you should follow.

Remember when the Kryptonate's were released in limited quantities at the House of Hoops in Harlem? Well he's got 'em. Be green with envy.
BallinTwn

The amount of samples Randy has is impressive. It doesnt hurt that his foodporn pics make us hungry, either.
Startin2Stack

His wide range of kicks proves that Ben is ballin'. The backdrop to all of his photos make them even easier to look at.
BoutThatJaeLife

Jae has everything from Milan Air Max 1's to several BIN Jordans. And he posts pics from every angle, so you can be jealous a few times over. He's about that life.
Air Andy
Instagram: @air_andy
Not only does he take his sneaker game seriously, but his photography as well. Especially the picture of his '87 Italian AJ 2s. #VeryRare
alsneaks
Instagram: @alsneaks
Al has one of the most diverse collections we've come across. His heat ranges from some classics from the '90s we wish would retro to an impressive Derrick Rose collection and some creative NiKEiDs.
AfroKix
Instagram: @afrokix
If you missed our interview with Afrokix about his sneaker collection, it's a must see. It only gives a sneak peek of his vault,so check out his instagram for a better look.
GoldTankDawg

The self proclaimed no limit soulja has an extensive Lebron collection that would make the king himself envious.
SoleSupreme23
Instagram: @solesupreme23
Puneet has one of the craziest PE collections, and his OG collection isn't far behind. Who else has Ray Allen PE 18.5s? Do yourself a favor and follow him to see some kicks you've probably never seen before.
NiceKicksNunez
Instagram: @nicekicksnunez
He does PR for Jordan Brand, so you can imagine the heat he has at his disposal. AND he has a sneaker wall that puts anyone else's to shame. Does it get any better?
Nate Robinson
Instagram: @naterobinson
Nate may have more connects than most of us,because he's an NBA player. But its hard to not be impressed by his sneakers game,and even harder to not be impressed by him wearing Air Yeezy's in a game.
DJ Clark Kent
Instagram: @djclarkkent
DJ Clark Kent has his own Nike Collab, and is co-host of Quickstrike. What else do you need to know? #kickgameproper
AndyOliverWPG
Instagram: @andyoliverwpg
Andy helped give kicksdeals.com its start, which speaks for itself. He also knows Ronnie Fieg and is a member of Kith Set, so you already know that his Asics game is on point. Take one look at his Python Suede Jordan V's. Trust me. (Hint: They're made of python suede, bro.)
Theinfader
Instagram: @theinfader
From the Sunshine state, the infader has everything from what the dunks to paris SB's. Not to mention, who else can still rock the lebron 4's? Oh, and he has the entire stash collection, be jealous.
Phase2
Instagram: @phase2
Phase2 is that sneaker guy from Alaska,but we wont hold it against him because he has a pair of coveted Paris SB's. Should I mention that he has several pair of OG's Jordan 1s or no? We're also jealous that he has a pick with Tinker Hatfield.
Kicks0l0gy
Instagram: @kicks0l0gy
Who else has a instagram just for all of the heat stored away in their closet? She holds it down for the female sneaker heads out there, and does a great job doing it. And a bonus, is that almost every pic comes with a quote, ya know if you're feeling inspirational or something.
Uptown2k
Instagram: @uptown2k
Og_archived, or should his name be no new kicks? Seriously, take a look at his instagram and youll instantly feel nostalgic. Except when he pulls out something new like pusheads or Zoo York's.Hes proof that Jordans will always look better with the Nike Air on the back.
Whatthekicks
Instagram: @whatthekicks
Jeremy, aka whatthekicks may have the most recognizable leg tattoos in the sneaker game,and his kicks never disappoint. As part of team ROCK 'EM, you'll catch in quite a few KD's, Kobe's, and only the freshest of Jordan's. The only thing that rivals his kick game is probably his socks.
DependableJay
Instagram: @dependablejay
His name says it all. Who else can you depend on for rocking PE's that some players probably don't even have, and a lot of look see samples too. Aside from basketball PE's, he's even got some football PE's as well. Don't think you can play him in vintage kicks either, he's got deadstock heat that dates all the way back to the '80s. The Dependable Jay Vault is nothing less than a wonderland for sneaker heads.
