About Us

I'm a 43 year old guy born and raised in Hawaii, currently living here, but I've moved around and lived in various parts of the mainland US and overseas. My dad is an immigrant from Japan and I grew up with the expectations of having to do something Asian with my life (doctor, engineer, ninja, etc). I had part/full time jobs since I was 11. I never knew what I wanted to do and just did stuff to make my family proud. I worked as an engineer, university chemistry instructor, a pharmacist, an RN, and I hated all of it. This is my attempt to break free and do something I am actually passionate about and start paying back all of those student loans.

My love of sneakers and fashion started at a young age. I wasted 100s of hours in my youth on NikeTalk, SoleCollector, S&S, and a bunch of other forums looking at stuff I could never afford and talking shit like I copped everything. I have fond memories of looking through Eastbay catalogs finding out about upcoming drops and waiting in lines for releases when I moved away from home. I'm feel like I'm too old to comfortably rock most of the stuff I used to love, but the passion for hitting raffles wins, trying to beat botters on releases and scoping out good deals is still alive. The goal is to provide stuff at a fair price and in one spot so you don't have to go buying things piece by piece and paying shipping and fees for each thing like the traditional resale sites.

I'm running this whole business solo with 0 prior experience and learning as I go. There's gonna be some hiccups along the way with the website and formatting, but the products are all 100% authentic and I will do my best to get stuff shipped out ASAP. Any feedback is appreciated and I'll do my best to respond to anything sent my way.
