Last night I had the privilege of chatting with the OSD crew regarding SneakerListing.com. As this was my first ever (public) interview, there was certainly a level of nervousness. And it was evident in my “ums” and “ya knows”. However, as the conversation went on, what I realized is that by going on to the show I was given the opportunity to feel the pulse of the community.

Here was my chance not to show off, or just take pride in what we’ve made but really listen to what sneakerheads wanted. I began telling myself that this is what Ray and I needed, the true feedback of the users. They bring up some excellent points and I will add all of those things to my todo list in the coming days and weeks. To bring something that’s valuable to the sneaker culture is not only to create something that everyone thinks is cool or simply looks pretty, but it must address the needs of our users. Otherwise, we would have failed.

Our message from day one is that this project is an evolving one, meaning it will shape and form with the needs and feedback of the users, and only then will it succeed. SneakerListing.com is not simply a website that we own, but it is an entity that belongs to the entire sneaker culture. I encourage everyone to continue giving us your suggestions so that we can live up to to your expectations in being the centralized marketplace for sneakers.
