Hi my name is J.R. Wideman!

 

I'm a lifelong sneaker lover, former retail manager & social media manager surrounding sneakers.

After years of managing hype sneaker lineups, watching the secondary market boom and watching people lose out at a chance to purchase something they WANT badly - I want to change that sentiment specifically in regards to get people who NEED specific types of shoes.

 

The Nike FlyEase technology was designed solely with individuals with disabilities in mind. A shoe with no laces and no physical need to use your hands...A fully hands free shoe! It was incorporated in a number of classic Nike/Jordan models already (AM 90, AJ1, Lebron). The FlyEase tech has now been narrowed down and inserted into a highly-coveted silhouette dubbed the "Nike Go FlyEase" which recently dropped at a retail price of $120USD and are now being re-sold for anywhere from $345 to $700....

 

I personally know a number of people (and I'm sure you do too) whose children, family members, close friends, acquaintances, etc could potentially benefit from this great technological advancement in shoes. This now allows almost anyone to be able to cop a pair of Air Max 90's, Jordan 1's, Lebron's, etc and have the full ability to empower these people to do it themselves and also look fly (pun intended).

 

I want to raise $5,000 so I can go ahead and personally purchase these shoes (specifically the GO FlyEase) from various places and turn around and donate them to those who need! 

 

I want to make this easy:

  • Donate and help me raise the money to buy the shoes.
  • I'll take the funds and purchase multiple pairs/sizes (recording all purchases, bank statements, etc)
  • I'll post and openly reach out to people and families I know in the sneaker industry and co-ordinate (verify) the sales of these acquired shoes to those who need them!
  • I'll track all of this initiative on social media in order to be completely open, honest and transparent.

 

This is not for profit (if anything, money will be lost but the people who get these will win).

This is for the people.

The people who didn't have access, legit need these shoes and shouldn't have to pay 2-6x the MSRP in order to feel empowered and confident in themselves.
