with sneaker brands such as Travis<br />

So how do people get access to<br />

such rare sneakers? The answer is<br />

sneaker dealers. One of the most<br />

famous sneaker dealers is 21-yearold<br />

Benjamin Kickz. Benjamin had<br />

always loved sneakers and he started<br />

selling them at the age of 15. He<br />

sells to world-renowned celebrities<br />

like DJ Khaled, who was the first<br />

celebrity to buy shoes from him.<br />

Sneakers are something that is<br />

relevant in Black culture. We can<br />

see this from Will Smith rocking<br />

different types of Jordans on<br />

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to<br />

documentaries about the growing<br />

number of shoe fanatics called<br />

sneakerheads. Sneakers are a way<br />

for people to express themselves.<br />

Sneakers can also be a way to<br />

connect people all around the world<br />

regardless of race. Because let’s<br />

face it, cool sneakers are attention<br />

grabbers and sometimes even<br />

conversation starters.<br />
