Our Story
2015
(time when Facebook was all about squares and rectangles, no reels or stories, light mode only)
A video of kids queuing outside a store for a chance to buy Yeezys pops up on my Facebook feed – I want them
I barely know or speak English, but I google and google and google search terms where to buy Yezzys, Adidas Yezzy (yes, I misspell the name all the time). It only leads me to a general Adidas EU website, I finally find an informational post about Yeezys without a button “add to cart” or “buy now” – dead end
2016
I am on a school trip with my classmates and few other students from my school. I am a shy kid when it comes to approaching others, but I see a boy wearing pirate blacks (present me: must have been fakes). It takes me minutes of hesitation and awkwardness when I finally ask him where he got them from. The boy mumbles something along the lines ‘my friend got them for me’ – dead end
2017
The era of weheartit
I scroll through shoe pictures, I come across the picture of Air Jordan 3 Black Cements – beautiful, set it as my wallpaper
*The realisation*
I finally accept the fact that it is currently impossible to get my hands on Yeezys or Jordans. None does drops within Eastern Europe, I do not know about raffles, I have no clue how the buying process works
>> 2020
I study abroad. I come across 2 or 3 pairs of Nike dunks and Jordans. I put all my money in, change the name of my current Instagram clothing selling account, take some pictures of the shoes and post them there
It is 2023
I have seen or held in hand pretty much all the shoes I dreamed of back then and even more. I am grateful for a chance to be able to bring the culture to my beloved country Lithuania and the rest of Europe.
