Hypebeast Karan Khatri gets chatty about the treasured picks in his collection and championing India's sneaker and streetwear culture
With a keen eye for fashion - more specifically, sneakers and streetwear in India - Hypebeast Karan Khatri's YouTube channel can tempt you to give your shoe-drobe an overhaul. "It started with the most accessible, hyped sneakers and slowly, I converted the collection into only the top-most, desirable sneakers I wanted to own. So, my collection is more about quality than quantity," says Khatri, partner, Mainstreet India, a premier street fashion platform that came into being in 2017, and is a favourite among lovers of sneakers and streetwear in the country. At 76.3k followers (and counting) on Instagram, Khatri's social media is reflective of his innate passion for creating meaningful content on Hypebeast culture, peppered with tricks, tips, guides, unboxings, reviews and more. We dig deeper into the entrepreneur's stunning shoe closet and all things sneakers.
