The term hypebeast is one that is used very loosely nowadays. An expression over used in modern pop culture, some use it to describe those who have an intense passion for streetwear and possess the ability to influence others and set trends, whilst others believe hypebeasts are just people who rock hyped items just to flex and impress those around them.
The internet is chalk full of articles upon articles discussing the true definition of the term, but whatever it may be, we, at The Sole Supplier, have made it our duty to list the biggest self proclaimed hypebeasts on Instagram right now.
Ari Petrou
Regarded by many as the U.K.s biggest hypebeast, Ari Petrou sure knows how to flex. With a massive arsenal of Off-White, BAPE, VLONE, and of course, Supreme, Ari has one of the most varied and vibrant collections in the game. He doesnt slack in the sneaker department either, showing off some of the worlds most exclusive kicks.
Qias Omar
The YouTube sneaker communitys biggest hypebeast, Qias Omar, more commonly known as QrewTV, has almost half a million followers on Instagram, and theres really no questioning why.

Feifei Fu
Meet Feifei Fu, the twenty-year-old self proclaimed hypebeast who spends a whopping ten grand a month just on streetwear.
