 This is Esteban. He's been a subscriber of my channel for a long time now. He's also part of my sneakerhead academy and one of the point leaders for the entire community. So last night we were all on our typical monthly live stream meetup. We had been talking for a couple hours, people were starting to slowly trickle off as the night was starting to come to an end. And then next thing you know, Carl starts talking about his UNC Off-White Ones. So earlier last year I ended up helping Carl get his dream shoot as well, but I didn't really take no mind to it because I just wanted to help him out. DJ, I need you to help me. He's a DJ. No, no, I need a pair of Travis Forrests. I need you to help me find a pair of Travis Forrests. What you did for Carl, and I know he's a good book. He posted them like anybody interested and I'm like, would he trade? Yeah. And this was like my big rail at the time too. This is like when I very first started collecting shoes, I never thought I'd be able to afford these. And that was when they were like fifteen, sixteen hundred bucks brand new, seventeen hundred bucks. I was like, man, I'll never be able to afford these shoes. And the price just kept going up. And then all of a sudden he posted like, you know, anybody interested in these? Like somebody trade? Have you worn them or? One time for my anniversary. So Carl kind of explained a brief story of how everything went about. And as you could tell, Esteban was definitely interested in trying to figure out how we could do the same thing for him. I don't mind too. If you find a, if you find a VNDS pair, like a pair worn a couple of times, that makes it even better because it's used in their negotiable. So now at this point, he's kind of got my gears turning a little bit and I'm like, you know what? Maybe we can find something to help him out. What do you have that's new in your collection still? I just got so. This is why it's always good to hold dead stock shoes in your collection too. I just laced them like this, but I haven't worn them yet. Military black or military or white Oreos. I got these, I got them all other week and my loss in fact, that might be enough right there to get you to Travis Scott's. All right. I'm moving apart with these because I know I could get them back. I could get used pairs. Yeah. They're not going to be too hard to get back. None of those shoes. And that's another thing that we preach in the community all the time. You may love a sneaker right now, but if it's more of an accessible shoe like the military blacks or something like that. You can always get it back. So now at this point, we're starting to dig a little bit more and see if we can find any pairs online. I was looking on eBay and I was like, wait, are these the people out of Portland? What city is Sneak City in? Seattle. Okay. Never mind. You're in Portland. Because I know I'd seen a new video with them and I didn't know if they were closed by you. They do have a pair of Travis for us. I think they were like at nine, eight hundred nine, 13, size 13. Yeah. All right. Let's see if I can work a play, bro. So now at this point, I shot the text over to the homies at Sneak City and I told them, hey, we got somebody that's looking to get their dream shoe. And I think we just might have a good trade for y'all. Are you up for it? For us right now, you're a legend like that's fire. That's crazy. I should have said a stopwatch or a timer because this is like, hold up, I got this. I respect it though, like that's just genius. I will deadstock lace my militaries and my Oreos and whatever else I need to and I'll send them. And if I need, if the value doesn't come out, I could throw some cash on top too. I'll put a request in for the Travis for us. We'll see what happens. All right. Well, yeah, I'll see y'all. I appreciate y'all as always. And you already know if you need anything, just hit me. Thank you. Like y'all take it easy. Yep. I appreciate you guys. So we ended the call and I didn't receive a text back yet. It was later at night. So I understood the next day I woke up. I got a text. They said, yes, we can do it. So I immediately hit Esteban up and let him know that they said, yes, go ahead and ship the shoes out and let's make this deal happen one day later. The package has officially touched down. I can't believe we're doing this. Let me crack this thing open and make sure everything is good. It looks like nobody tampered with the package and he wrapped paper around the box. It was a gift. This is the first on the channel. I feel like I wouldn't mind doing this again, but I don't know. I'm so anxious. I already know what's inside. Dude, that's what's funny. Why is this so exciting? Bro, hey, look at this packaging. You learned well, bro. Hey, I ain't going to lie. You know, we go over this in the hobby to hustle program and we teach people how to properly package sneakers and take care of stuff and ship out and do things right. This is a great example of how you do it, bro. The package was wrapped in paper, labeled correctly, wrapped in bubble wrap inside the box. Oh, and then we got the shoes. This is nice. This is nice. All right. Where do I begin? Okay. First, we have the white Oreos size 13, usually at this point I say just for me, but we know who they're for. And then we got the shoe. Oh, we got the shoe. So everything looks good on this pair right here. Dead stock like we like it. That's what I like to see. Next up right here, size 13. Got the military blacks. Then we got the shoe. Oh, we got the shoe again. So far, so good. Esteban, you're looking great. Now I got to do my part. So let's go ahead and take a trip up to Seattle and get this deal done. All right. So we had to take a quick pit stop because on the way there's Centrelia Nike outlet and in here, they had the Tokyo fives back in the day. We've seen some crazy samples and crazy exclusive stuff come through this outlet. So every time I drive by, I got to stop by and see what they got. So let's go ahead and run in real quick. Okay. I got the Air Max 95 cleats. This is kind of clean. I don't like 95s, but these are clean. Got the Jordan 12 golf spikes as well. These are all small sizes. Damn. Watch the throne. The bronze still sitting. 100 bucks. Crazy to think that this shoe is $100 just sitting pro. This used to be thousands of dollars. Damn. They got the pennies over here. These are clean. 79 bucks. That's cool. All right. Here we go, guys. I found something. Reimagine threes. But there's a dilemma. They're a size 18. We heard about these hidden outlets. Well, here you go. Damn. I wish these was my size. I love them for show cuts. So they definitely had some solid kicks in there. The Reimagine threes size 18. I almost pulled the trigger, but I don't know what I'm going to do with that size. So let's get back on the road. We got some business to take care of. Just got a text from DJ right now. He said he's on his way up to Seattle. A few moments later. All right, you guys. We just got out to Seattle. They got a new store. We haven't been to the store yet. We went to the old store, which actually they still have that one open. So I'm excited to check out the new spot. We got the shoes. Now we just got to secure this trade. Hopefully it goes through. I think it should be good though. They said it's good. I don't know why I got any worries right now. I feel like we came all the way here. I just don't want something weird to happen, right? I wonder if the shoes are at the other store or something. We'll go inside and we'll see what's up and hopefully we can get this deal done. Maybe I might have to get some shoes too. We came a long way. We found the store. It's looking pretty clean. Let's go check it out. We definitely got to do a store tour in a minute. I got to drop these shoes off first. How you doing? Good. Hi. Hi. How are you? So we're here to make a subscribers dream. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. Saw the shoes over here. Okay. Very clean. Some of these pairs. We saw this on the website. He saw it on the website actually. Through eBay? You guys post on eBay too? We do. Yeah. Okay. So he saw it on eBay and then he was asking me about the store and I was like, oh yeah. I know them up there. What's up? So this is the pair right here. Size 13. And these are really, really clean. Yeah. Definitely. The shoe is clean. Oh no. We might have to take these to the kryptonite play. Yes. White oryx. Yep. And we added 150 bucks on top. Now we got to get a store tour real quick before we get back on the road. Let's do it. Okay. So how long have you all been open here and what's going on? Tell me the breakdown. March 18th was grand opening. So it's what? Like two months ish. Okay. First take. So as you enter, you obviously have the left side, which is all the sizes, categorized, size. Okay. We call this like, I don't want to say the true sneaker head side, but the side that people that know about shoes go to the side. Let's go through it. Let's go through it real quick. Just a couple of kicks. I mean, the average person is not going to know what this is or why it's worth $400. I got you. Pre-empt. Okay. So I'm going to come see how to sell it. What are some of the top sneaker models or color ways that everybody's pushing right now? Oh, dunks. Dunks still? Dunks in Jordan 4s all day. Okay. Great school and women's sizes in Jordan 4s fly as well. Okay. How's the panda doing? Oh, great. Still rolling? Yeah, still rolling. What's your thoughts on the SB4s? The SB4s? I like them. I think it's a great shoe. I got a pair. I think it's a great shoe. It's going to be interesting to see at the end of the year, like if they still stay in like in a top 10 conversation or anything, but I think as of right now, it'll be like the best for this dropping so far. I like them a lot. I'm not a huge fan of the green, so I'm more excited for like the new colors. I like green, but I don't wear green. I don't think that I have any green shoes. Which I mean, you're the Northwest though. You got to make it work. You know what I'm saying? We got to come with the earth tones and everything. So this is like our grade school or our women's sizes. Stuff from here flies. Whereas our other store, we get a lot of female shoppers, but not as many as we get here. Grade school, midnight navies. They go crazy. They go crazy. Yeah. Kids love them and parents. I mean, when I was a kid, I was getting like $25, $30 shoes. Yeah. Now parents are dropping. I just saw a kid running through the wall with that shoe on. A little kid with a little baby pair. A baby pair. It's more for people to come in and look at. More people come in and be like, oh my gosh, Travis Scott. Right, right, right. Like chunky donkeys. But as far as like sales of this stuff in store. We still get some people that trade for it, but a lot of it just moves on my head. Right. Or at the other store, people trade for it. Yeah. That's all about sound. I noticed too, it's been a big like trade culture now when it comes to it. And then especially in the PE game, I was about to make a video about that. Like these shoes are getting so expensive. People are like, all right, I'll give you like three of these, four of these for that one right there. You know, like cool, I can move this faster than that could actually sell this one. So like it's been on display long enough. Yeah. So it's been a, it's been a very interesting game. It's kind of like reverting back to how it used to be. Used to be a little bit. Yeah. Everybody used to trade and then it was like nobody was trading anymore. They're like, want to hold it and see if it goes up. Yeah. And then like they're just too worried about getting rid of it now because they remember five years ago. Right. Things that weren't worth anything. So I think like it's just a mental thing. Like if you're not wearing it, trade it for something you are. Definitely. You really want it. Definitely. That's my mindset about it. I'm excited about the trade. We do. This is going to be dope. I wish we could give them to him in hand. I got to ship them to him. Where's he looking? He's like all the way out in Boston. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, it'll be fun though. We're going to ship him out today though. Opening it. Yeah. Yeah. We'll throw it in there. It'll be good. That's what's up. Well, you got anything you want to say to him before we go? Don't know who we are. We are Sneak City located in Seattle, Washington, in Tequila and at our new location here in Aldwood Mall. Check us out on Instagram. That's Sneak City. Thank you, DJ, for coming out and making the trade. I'm glad we had the pair that your subscriber wanted. Yes. We love helping people out. It's confirmed. DJ just sent me a picture. He's at the store right now. He has my white Oreos in the military blacks. And he has the Travis Scott floors in the other hand. I am so excited. I can't believe the deal is actually about to go down. Shout out to DJ and Sneak City. We got the shoes. We made it happen. Now it is time to get back on the road and go home and ship these bad boys out. I'm excited to see him unbox these. And this is good. I don't know. What do you think? You think it was a good video?

Because I didn't get to give you guys some good shots earlier in the video. All right. So right here. We got the look at the shoe. Give you guys a better look. There you go. These things are clean, bro. Look at that suede. Creason is very minimal. This is a very, very clean pair right here. Look at the outsoles. Yeah, that's nice. Oh, that's nice right there. Let's check out the other side. Yeah. This is clean. Oh my gosh, bro. My pair over there. My pair is cooked. And then my DS pair obviously DS.
