Hip-Hop on StockX – the best pieces of the genre

August 11, 2023 marks a significant milestone: 50 years of hip-hop culture. Originating from the streets of New York, this pop culture has spread worldwide. We remember the origins when DJ Kool Herc laid the first stone for the genre at a school party exactly five decades ago. From the streets to the global youth movement. And it's not just the music that makes hip hop. It's everything, the music, the mindset, the clothes, the sneakers. What interests us most here are, of course, the shoes. And even more so, what are the hip-hop icons worth right now and where can you get them? That's why we looked around and of course hip-hop also exists on StockX. We have selected our favorites for you that you can actually buy on StockX.

50 YEARS OF HIP HOP
FROM SUBCULTURE TO MAINSTREAM

We are not a platform that is now celebrating your 100th birthday. Let's explain where hip-hop comes from and how many milestones the genre has taken to become what it is now. Most of you know roughly what's going on. You also know what influence hip-hop has on sneakers and streetwear. To this day, if not even more so than 40 years ago. There are artist collaborations everywhere and most of them are only really successful when the artists come from hip-hop.
