Our History
THE BEGINNING
Selling sneakers started as a side hustle for Brandon throughout middle school and high school. The pair that started it all was a pair of “He Got Game” Jordan 13s he got in middle school.
When COVID hit, Brandon had time to reflect and realized college wasn’t the path for him. During his senior year, he got a full-time job at a sneaker store. Brandon was making good money, but he always believed God had something more in store for him.
After his 20th birthday in 2022, Brandon decided to take a leap of faith, leave his job, and go all in on Soleinspires.
STARTING FROM THE TRUNK
Soleinspires started in the trunk of a Honda Civic.
In the beginning, Brandon had little to no clientele, limited resources, and a very small following. Instead of waiting for an opportunity, he decided to create one. Brandon began documenting his journey and constantly looked for ways to innovate Soleinspires and create a better experience for customers.
One of those ideas was creating drop-off locations, which became a major part of Soleinspires’ early growth.
One of the biggest moments during this time was getting the opportunity to work with the University of Maryland football team. What started as selling sneakers turned into long-lasting relationships that helped grow the Soleinspires name, reputation, and network.
THE FIRST STORE
In the spring of 2022, Brandon began reaching out to locations with the goal of opening Soleinspires’ first storefront. After reaching out to 20+ locations and having deal after deal fall through, God finally opened the right door.
That door was the Clarksburg Premium Outlets.
Brandon grew up in Germantown, Maryland, just about 15 minutes away from the location. Being able to open Soleinspires’ first storefront so close to where he grew up was a surreal moment for Brandon and the entire team.
On October 14, 2023, Soleinspires officially opened its first storefront with just 150 pairs.
Today, that same store has grown to 1,500+ products.
WHERE WE ARE NOW & WHERE WE'RE GOING
Brandon was almost failing out of high school and had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. When he decided to leave his job and build Soleinspires, he took a leap of faith and bet on himself.
After facing 20+ rejections, Brandon learned that every “no” was simply leading him closer to the one “yes” he needed.
That “yes” became Soleinspires’ first storefront.
Today, Soleinspires buys, sells, and trades more than just sneakers — including streetwear, designer items, trading cards, gaming consoles, accessories, collectibles, and more.
Brandon always believed Soleinspires could become something bigger. And from the beginning, he and his team knew they were building something bigger than themselves.
Soleinspires is a representation of what God can do when you take a leap of faith, bet on yourself, and keep going when the answer is “no.”
