Mentoring Group for Future Sneakerheads

This is the Volunteering, Contributing and Mentoring Group for the future of Sneakerheads, Female Sneaker Fiends and Streetwear Loyalists!
The goal of this group is to ensure the future integrity and preservation of the Streetwear Culture for future generations.
Have you done your part? Share your story and inspire us!

Welcome to my lil group, I will list all the good deeds done to enrich our future generations with the knowledge of all things street wear.

A good friend of mine inspired me to share this. Normally, I am very good and consistent about buying something for myself and someone else. But I never think about it, it’s just something I do. I have a list of little friends and sizes and if the budget allows someone gets to look fresh courtesy of me. I almost never speak on it, and many times I do it anonymously. I never look for a reward or recognition for it. I try to follow the belief that if I practice generosity, neutralize greed and gain merit, I won’t be so selfish with material things. In some cases, I don’t even know the child but what kid wouldn’t be happy to get a present once in a while, so it doesn’t even matter.

My friend said I should share the story of my good deeds with others who share my passion for street wear so that they too will be inspired. I know we all have a story about who introduced us to street wear culture when we were young. I like being able to give a gift and if possible share the story of how and why certain sneakers are special and now I can pass the gift on with a special meaning. The lucky kid who receives it is usually so inspired to care for their new kicks that they are careful with them and are hungry to learn more about the culture. I always tell them it’s not just about greed or how many pairs you have, it's what you give back to the culture in return that counts. You can enjoy material things without being attached to them. You can take good care of your kicks and pass them down to a younger kid who will appreciate them too. Most importantly, don’t be a hypebeast; know your history about your wearing and why it’s so special. I mean, really nothing is worse than asking a kid why they want a pair of J's and they can’t answer the question or even know who the J represents. Then they can learn to develop their own individual style and not always follow the latest trends. If I created a new sneakerhead who will take the time to learn the culture than I think my job is done. So, I think we can expand on this and create a list of great kids who deserve to be inspired, matched up with a list of people willing to inspire them to stay fly. That being said, please list any information below you can contribute such as a good story on great kid under 12 who deserves something nice. Or just tell what you did to pass on your passion for streetwear to the younger generation. Best of all, list any items you are willing to pass on. You can mail them to me to send out or you can mail it to the child yourself. Besides, at the end of the day how awesome is it to give away all your fly gear to inspire others, so you can get some more!?
Thanks,
