$6M/Year Reselling Sneakers (Here's How!)

In just a few years, Marcus Sharf has grown his sneaker business, Hyp Miami, from a side-hustle into a go-to destination for shoe collectors that brings in a 7-figure yearly revenue. He’ll share how to start a sneaker reselling business in this episode.

Like many teens, Marcus’ parents wanted him to get a job when he turned 14. He started selling things from around their house to finance his sneaker collection. After he sold his first pair of Nikes for $300, he realized this could be more than a hobby–and Hyp Miami was born.

Hyp Miami started as an online business, opening its first brick-and-mortar store in 2022. Marcus will share how he connected with customers to grow his online sales, and his unique strategies for building buzz around his brand.

We’ll also hear how he used those profits to open up his retail store and the challenges of pivoting from online-only to a brick-and-mortar. Maybe the most impressive thing: Marcus built this business while still in college. We’ll learn how he managed his time to balance school with being an entrepreneur and what systems he’s put in place to keep both his stores and his online wholesale business running smoothly.

Getting your hands on rare new sneakers can be a challenge in and of itself. Marcus will explain his strategy to securing this in-demand inventory, both from online vendors and at sneaker conventions. Negotiation skills are a big part of his success, and he’ll talk about how he learned those and his advice for other aspiring entrepreneurs who want to become better negotiators.

“No silver spoon, no trust fund.”

Kind of odd to say that right at the start when his father, as others pointed out, is Roman Sharf who founded a luxury watch company and is worth over $100 million dollars…. This is worth repeating since it gives him a huge leg up, connections to suppliers, mentorship etc…

Not trying to hate either, go him! But also let’s be realistic. He most likely isn’t as self made as he makes himself out to be.

Clearly the guy has done well and takes guidance from others.
The reality is that his dad was main reason why this made it

[profanitytalker]

No hate on the kid, but his dad (Roman Sharf) has a company in the watch industry that generates $150, 000, 000+ a year. I only state this because you said in the beginning "no silver spoon and no trustfund." Now you have the facts.

Yay! So cool to have met you all of you guys this day, I’ve been waiting for this episode 😂❤ Cheers to success!

[circleforalanding]

Roman's your Dad? Good for you, kid. Dad's business advice is priceless.

[Hshshsksb]

Don’t forgot, he kept getting a shoutout from his father who is Roman shard which owns 100million a year company. Don’t forget that

The female that asked about the problem not wearing shoes she bought. I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL! lol When i first started the shoe thing it was all just personal. I still have shoes i bought over 10 years ago not touched. However, its actually how i begin my business of shoe resale and custom shoes and appeal as well as upscaling name brand clothes considered "retro". Anyway, long story short i bought a pair of up tempos in tiffany blue for under 200$, went to put them on THEY DIDNT FIT! So, i looked them up and used the were going 680$ and up. So now not only do i continue to be able to do and collect what i love. I make good money and support my family doing so. I'm trying to research the whole supreme brand next.

Great episode! Love the hustle! Would love to see a Luxury Bazaar interview next

[AAsg-utsx]

Fight the feedbacks all you want but not many gonna resonate with this type of content! You held back 33 mins to tell the audience it’s basically a family business! Dodging the question on how he financed $1M for the store says it all!

[perezs]

we should get an upflip video about upflip

[Adhxm]

Isn’t that Roman’s of luxury bazar kid?

[thevcountdown]

The display of the sneakers in the store is so cool!

How is he monitoring if they are “real” when buying in bulk from vendors ?
