Tell us about yourself, and let the Tradeblock community know more about you.

Hey, my name is Ericsson, and I’m from Los Angeles, California; I’ve been into shoes for about six years now, and I just love shoes with cool names and a little history.

How did you get into sneakers?

My grandma gave me $100 when I was in high school, and I bought my first pair of Jordan’s which were the Master 12s; I would say my fitness inspired me! All the cool shoes they would wear were super nice.

What's your hot take or perspective on where the sneaker game and industry are today?

I do miss being able to walk in store and get pairs or wait in line with folks, all the online stuff has really pushed me away, but we strive on!

What's your shoe size?

13 M.

What is your favorite sneaker in your collection, and why?

The Union LA x Jordan 4 is such a dope shoe! And who doesn't love a black Jordan 4?

What shoe are you looking for, and what would you trade for them?

The Nike SB Dunk Sean Cliver.

I’d trade my Nike SB Dunk Low "What The Paul" for them.

What's one silhouette that's super slept on?

Jordan 5's.

When and how did you find out about Tradeblock?

A sneaker group on Facebook.

What's your favorite or best trade you've completed on Tradeblock?

Probably my Reverse Mocha for White Cement 3's, Military Black, and A Ma Maniere 4's. It was meaningful because I got pairs I really liked and wanted to wear.

What's the worst offer you've ever received, and how did you respond?

Probably my Off-White 4's for some random dunks.

I just deleted the offer.

For new members using Tradeblock, what are your tips and tricks for closing a trade?

Message people, be nice and courteous. Don't be afraid to shoot an offer, and just try until you get a good trade.

Fill in the blank. I trade because...

I love shoes.

Why should someone join Tradeblock?
