The Face Behind Simply

I’m a one-person team behind Simply Sneakers. I run this business while juggling two part-time jobs and everything else life throws my way. What began with just a few pairs in high school has evolved into a full-scale sneaker reselling operation. I source every pair, take all the photos, pack every order, and write every product description myself.

Simply More Than Just Sneakers

This business was built on passion, but it’s driven by pride. My passion for sneakers started back in 6th grade, when my uncle passed down part of his collection. The moment I saw the 2009 Space Jam 11s, I was hooked.

At Simply Sneakers, I don’t just resell shoes—I clean them, restore them, and try to make the experience feel as close to brand new as possible. Every pair is thoroughly checked, cleaned by hand, and if there’s no original box, I create a custom replacement with a shoe label to match. Most resellers don’t bother doing all that—but that’s what sets Simply apart. I’m not doing this just to move shoes. I do it because I care about what I put out in this world with our name on it.

Photography is another big part of what I do. Beyond product shots, I create full lifestyle shoots that highlight the details, energy, and personality of each sneaker—turning kicks into something you experience, not just wear. You can check out some of those visuals in the Gallery page above.

  • Most worn pair: Nike SB Dunk Low Mummy

  • Favorite sneaker of all time: Space Jam 11s

  • First sneaker I ever sold: Hyperdunk 2015 TB ‘Black’

  • Most memorable buy: Nike LD Waffle Sacai ‘Summit White’ — grabbed these for a steal at a Plato’s in Tennessee during the peak of their popularity when they were going for crazy money

  • Biggest regret: Jordan 11 Animal Instinct (W) — bought for retail and got way too many… my grandpa still clowns me for that one

Simply Facts

Simply More Than Just Sneakers

Simply Sneakers is just getting started.

I’m building out a newsletter with size-based drops so we’re coming to you—no more scrambling at the perfect time before your size is gone. I also want to keep improving the website to make it even easier to find heat in your size.

But the vision for Simply goes beyond sneakers. As the brand grows, I want to do more than just sell shoes—I want to give back. Sneakers are just the starting point. This is about building something that inspires, uplifts, and creates real impact.

From supporting organizations doing meaningful work, to creating opportunities for young creatives—I want Simply to be a platform for more. Whether it’s through sticker designs that go in every box, or future merch collabs, I want to showcase different styles of art within the brand.

If you're a creative who’s passionate about what you do, reach out. I’d love to work with you and help get your name out there.

Simply should stand for something bigger.
And this is just the beginning.
