It’s all fun enough, but by the fourth time Bobby’s schemes go awry and Devin says he’s done with the whole thing, “Sneakerheads” has really wrung every drop of inspiration from its exhausted premise.
Overall, Sneakerheads is a mixed bag. ... It's boosted by a strong sense of the argot of the sneaker-collecting world and a likable central turn from Allen Maldonado, but with an ultra-brief six-episode season, the show's struggles to bring dimension to its female characters and an icky vein of homophobia really stand out.
Devin and Bobby are archetypes, and archetypes stop being funny after awhile, because, as we’ve said many times, the best comedy comes from character, not jokes. The more interesting characters are the people around Devin and Bobby that are immersed in sneaker culture as more of a business, like Nori or Stuey.
For outsiders, it is all fairly niche and insular, but if you are a sneakerhead, this is custom-made for you.
