Anyone working in the Sneaker Industry?

[formosa]

Do you work in the sneaker industry? From design to stockroom; or from Nike to UGG, doesn't matter as long its related to sneakers. Let's see what you do! Hope this thread will involve some professionalism!!

I work at Footlocker, specifically the stock room. Duties include accepting deliveries, inventorizing product, cleaning up the stock room, cleaning up the restroom, etc.

It's not a glamourous job as other sneakerheads made it out to be, but I consider myself sucksessfull at it. I'm hoping to one day move up to stock room manager so I won't have to carry these heavy packages so often, plus I don't want to always clean toilets.

Were you guys able to get your hands on for all the limited releases? I know all the workers at FootAction/Flight 23 would be able to all the time... Made me want to make friends with them lol.

Yeah my manager was mad chill so no problem.

I'm still hanging out with the dude.

I always have my hands on the new releases purse say since I work the stock room. Like jjs said it depends on the manager though. This female is all about that corporate bidness so we don't get first dibs on new releases or anything. If you need any sneaker cleaners or accessories I can you hook you up though

My first job, 10 years ago, was at Finish Line.

I remember saving the limited J's for the homies in the back.
