Great episode! It's truly inspiring and a testament to the fact that you don't need a large budget to get started. In fact, you can start with as little as $50. This goes to show that with determination, hard work, and a bit of creativity, anything is possible.

They say that the biggest problem in the industry is fakse, which is acurate, but the resellers complaining about there being sonmany reps, are the exact reason why they exist, resellers are selling shoes at a ridiculously high price, to the point that people perfer to buy reps than to go broke buying a single pair, i see reseller nowadays still sell panda dunk lows for $500 when they retail for $120 and are constantly being restocked, i say the biggest problem in the industry are the resellers

"we took a risk." That is the magic statement, you'll never know if you don't. Sneaker reselling is a huge business and it does not care about gender, race, background ect and that's what makes in interesting. There is only one absolute rule, DO NOT sell fakes.

A massively volatile market. The sneaker market has been on a huge rise over the past 10 years. Issue is, look at all of the shoes they are flipping. 90% look like they are Nike dunks /Jordan’s, Yeezy is dead, NB are all the same shade of grey with a different code. The reason for the volatility is that, people move on, they will move onto something totally different. End of the day it’s fashion, it’s always evolving.
