The sneakerhead community has a long been a stiflingly male-dominated space—look no further than the many drops only available in men’s sizes, or the sea of dudes you’re guaranteed to find in any given lineup for a women’s-only release. But like a rose sprouting from the bro-heavy concrete, Briony Douglas—the star of our lookbook for adidas’ new Girls Are Awesome collection—stands out in Canada’s sneaker scene. Boasting an enviable collection, the Toronto-based visual artist, director, and photographer has emerged as a sneaker influencer in her own right. She’s worked with major brands, features creps frequently in her art, and has shaken up the boys club in the process, repping for lady sneaker fans everywhere by bringing some much-needed chicness to the kick game.
