Alojz Abram—better known as Gramps—has one of the most impressive sneaker collections in the world. He manages to cop highly-anticipated sneakers—from Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 High OG to the Nike x sacai LDV Waffle—before they drop. And it's not just sneakers that he's into. Gramps has also become quite a streetwear connoisseur, often dressed head-to-toe in Stüssy, Supreme and Dior.

This year, he was invited to Dior Homme's Spring/Summer 2022 runway show and handpicked to be the face of Jägermeister's brand new streetwear line.

So how did this 75-year-old German grandfather manage to get on these super cool projects and exclusive mailing lists? It all started with his grandson, Jannik Diefenbach during a Christmas gathering.

"He looked so cool and felt so comfortable that I had to take a picture of him. Since we enjoyed taking the first picture, we kept it going and took some more," says Diefenbach in an interview. However, it was when they began recreating celebrity streetwear looks from Kanye West and A$AP Rocky that their shared hobby really took off to new heights.

"Sometimes it is difficult to separate my home and work lives. So I always change into streetwear after sessions to remind myself I am just an average Joe now," says the stylish 67-year-old psychologist about discovering his passion for streetwear. "I did not know people appreciated my style until I joined Instagram. It was my grandson’s idea."

However, he does not only use the social media platform to connect with fellow streetwear enthusiasts. He also uses it as an opportunity to promote mental health,  especially among his younger followers. "People are more comfortable talking about mental health, but may not notice signs, dispel stigma or seek professional help," he observes. "In Asian culture, there’s a belief that if we don’t talk about something, then it will be OK. But depression isn’t something you can just shake off. Talking is one of the most powerful ways to reduce the stigma of mental health."
