Seems like there are few newbies out there who know NOTHING about the sneaker game, trying to tell me, a collector of 14 years, what shoes of mine are real.
First, to clarify to anyone who is wondering, I do not deal with fakes. As a CEO and President of the NC Sneaker Summit where we created an alliance of collectors and shops (even sponsored by DTLR) across the SouthEast USA to introduce sneaker culture, expose it, and to embrace the culture of art, music, and fashion that is behind it, I'm not sure why I would go out of my way to sell fake sneakers.
Just because I have sneakers months before everyone else doesnt mean I have fakes.
In the shoe game (which most of you may appreciate), you are part of a fraternity and these guys become not just your fellow collectors but your friend, brother, and sister. You look out for each other. - I have my ways, in which I'd prefer to keep discreet.
Below are some more photos of my new shoes I have/still have left. Will have more, but just a tease.
Always, serious inquiries I will answer. Below are tips of what NOT to do for those that want to execute a smooth transaction with me.
The following doesn't sit well with me, and for the following reasons.
1. "Hey yo you still got them?!" ---Umm...got WHAT!? I answer about 50 unique emails per day on sneakers. How can we work together if you give me nothing to work with?!
2. "I see you are asking $250 for them. I'll offer you $75"---Ummm. logic tells me if I marked it at that price, and you want a shot at the kicks, you better be at the same price or ask me kindly if I'm willing to work with you. This kinda email tells me the lack of seriousness.
3. "Hey yo, you take trades!? " --- Negative. If I ever decide to take trades, you'll see me mention it somewhere. Otherwise, do your chores and save up! :-)
4. "How you get them so early? I'mma report you for sellin fakes" - How i get them? - Magic. Report me? Feel free. I have documentation for all my sneakers.
5. "Can you provide me with your proof of purchase?!" - No. I am not obligated to. If you don't trust me by now or haven't heard of my passion of sneakers by now, I'll wait for the next buyer. Thank you though.
