We have evaluated our market within this industry to reach the sneaker community and believe that our evaluations will be applied overtime and broken down into phases.
Becoming widely available is the mind and soul of this team because the culture is forever changing. All beginning in Cleveland and branching to different regions will create stores and consumers to connect on a level that will interest everybody.
