22-year-old sneaker entrepreneur Derrick Starks aka Sole Resell continues to expand his brand, Sole World. With over five resell outlets within one year in notable cities such as Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and in Georgia, Sole World has its sights set on a global expansion and being one of the fastest growing sneaker entities in the world.
Sole World is blazing and currently collaborating with “Big Baller Brand” CEO LaVar Ball on an exclusive “I Told You So” merchandise drop online at Shop Sole World. The slogan was a response to people who thought his sons, Lamelo and Lonzo Ball would fail in the NBA and would not be able to have a legitimate career in the league.
The Ball and Sole Resell “I Told You Sole World,” collaboration is a testament to the consistency of Ball’s ability to see the big picture and young black men’s dedication to being successful. No one could have predicted Sole World’s success other than Ball, its founder and perhaps the poster dad for “Betting On Yourself.”
“I’ll never let anyone else do it but Sole,” said Ball.
Sole World can be visited in Georgia at the North Georgia Premium Outlets, Miami International Mall, Florida Keys Outlet, Houston Premium Outlet, and in Los Angeles at 7363 Melrose Avenue.
