The topic I decided to pick is the rise of
the “sneaker game”. The sneaker game has to do with people and their passion
for sneakers. We sell, trade, and discuss sneakers; people who live for
sneakers are known as sneaker heads. Reason for this topic is because it has taught
me few in and outs of the business world, sneaker game has brought me a
separate income to help provide for my family as well as my self. Selling a
trading has become a business for me also for youth ages 12 to 24. I want
people to know that this is a growing business for people of all different
backgrounds . The sneaker game allows people to have an understanding of what’s
it like to have the best quality product, being able to sell something so
valuable that everybody wants to get their hands on. “For past year Nike made
up to 21 billion dollars just off selling basketball sneakers” (Princeton retail analysis). As a sneaker head who sells and trade kicks
at a sneaker convention can leave with about $2000 just selling a few pair of
kicks, this business builds entrepreneur from a young age.
If
I were to build a monument to spread the awareness it would be a Huge NIKE
sneaker box with money and sneakers coming out of it, to represent the value of
sneaker selling of this generation. The vision I have for this monument a 3D
Rectangular shape box, Warm color of red. The texture would be a rough bumpy
feel for example, the material of a basketball.
The money or sneaker that comes out of it would be a metallic texture.
The color of the money of the sneakers or money would be shinny sliver. The size of my monument would be 10ft tall x
15ft wide. The location would be Washington Square Park located in the West
Village. I choose this specific location because its one of my favorite parks
to go, you see a lot youth diversity and sneaker heads hanging out, even
selling and trading kicks.
This monument would be for younger
audiences who have the same interested as me. NYC has a wide audience of sneaker
lovers who would want people from different states or countries to be informed
why it’s a big deal to youth. It’s an income, a hobby as well as future job and
I want people to embrace it as much as I do.
