Before the internet and social media, sneaker "influencers" were mainly people seen on television wearing the latest pairs brands had at retail. Perhaps the most well-known example of a celebrity sneakerhead on a long-running sitcom was Will Smith's in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. From 1990 to 1996, Smith consistently brought the hottest Nikes and Air Jordans to the small screen, giving sneaker-obsessed viewers someone to identify with.

Though the show's messages are timeless, the sneaker industry has evolved greatly since we said goodbye to Will and the Banks family. Not only have footwear technology and construction taken significant leaps, but what's considered fresh has changed as well. What would the Fresh Prince be wearing in a modern setting? Read on to see what Will, friends, and family would be lacing up in 2017.
