Denim culture was either an off-shoot or ran parallel with sneaker culture (which were both genres of the "I got this and you don't" hipster culture). Both of which have cooled down a lot...or maybe I'm getting old.

It's funny how many dudes bought jeans and sneakers only to impress other dudes. Most of the sneakers are butt-ugly. I should know, I have a closet full of them. Ask a girl that you like which shoes are hot and I bet she's pick some basic shoe from Footlocker. And if you are interested in getting her attention, I suggest you get those. But, if you want attention from a bunch of dudes on the internet, spend $400 on some funky colored sneakers that should retail for $80. (sorry for the rant).
