Born on October 5, 1988, Andrew Buenaflor, better known as “Neek Lurk”, is no stranger to the internet or the ever-evolving streetwear scene. A transplant from the Bronx living in Las Vegas studying business management at the College of Southern Nevada, Neek was disappointed by the dry cultural scene in Sin City, spending most of his time inside on the internet. As a popular member of the NikeTalk forums in its heyday (a site co-founded by Method Man and frequented by sneaker fanatics in the early to mid-’00s like DJ AM, Ben Baller and Wale), Neek gained a following through his WDYWT (What Did You Wear Today) thread posts. His distinct skinny jeans, graphic tees, big hair and coveted Nike SB looks garnered him a reputation in the forum’s community—even prompting a member to create (and sell through) Neek T-shirts based off a Supreme parody on the site. Some members have even gone so far as to claim: “People wear skinny jeans because of Yeezy. Yeezy wears skinny jeans because of Neek.”
