Hello! To those who know me and support me thank you! To those who don’t know me welcome my name is Kurtis Bayne.

I was born and raised in Panama City, Florida, and relocated to Culpeper, Virginia, just before high school. Virginia has a vibrant sneaker community, which sparked my interest in collecting sneakers during my high school years.

I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with many experienced members ( also known as the OG’s) of the local sneaker community, which has sparked my passion for collecting and exploring the history behind sneakers.

Winning my first pair of Jordans, the sport blue 6s, sparked my passion for collecting sneakers.

Growing up, I didn’t come from a wealthy family. I wore Walmart shoes, thrifted options, or pet earned money to buy sneakers from elementary to middle school. That’s what led me to the resale side of the sneaker industry; it allowed me to fund my sneaker collection without dipping into my 9-5 salary.

Between 2019 and 2022, I shifted my entire business model to make affordable sneakers accessible to those who might find online shopping challenging.
