Starting late 2012/early 2013 the Long Beach based online sneaker consignment shop I Got Sole is the place to take your sneakers if you're trying to get rid of them or get them sold. Over the past few years the sneaker culture has become very popular in adolescent/young adult lives, and lots of people have tried to capitalize off of it by becoming the supplier. In our city we have stores like Proper, and Private where you can cop the latest kicks, but other than that your only chances are retail (unlikely), or the local sneaker seller on block. Well Poly grad, and current LBCC student Rueben Strickland decided to add his name to that list, and has slowly, but surely gained notoriety within the city. After gaining a slight buzz from a Yeezy Roshe Run collab giveaway with local Elwood Espiritu, and their first Beach Got Sole event with SneakerworldLA, and the well known sneaker collector Janelle Morgan I Got Sole was definitely on a roll. 2014-2015 the business slowly hit the back burner for Strickland until he decided to find help. After searching high, and low for someone to take over the duties of the business he finally found a young man by the name of Jesse Keen to handle the IG page while he handled curating events, and promotion for the business as well as other endeavors (this website lol). Since the partnership has begun Keen has done an amazing job handling the page, and making sales, and Strickland is very grateful for what he is doing. After yesterdays 2nd Annual Beach Got Sole Expo the page is looking to wind down, and stock up on inventory to provide the public. Both parties involved with I Got Sole are working hard to get their stop up both on their own, and from people who need help selling their shoes. So if you have some retro J's in the closet sitting around, or a sick Nike/Adidas collection you're trying to get rid of hit them up!
