Meet the 16-Year-Old Who Sells Sneakers to Rappers

Sneaker culture is a big deal. Brandi always makes fun of me because I'm a modest collector; I don't have anything resembling a massive collection, but I have a few pairs of Nikes and Vans (damn, Deuce) that I like to wear and coordinate with other things. It could be a million times worse, and I know plenty of people with more sneakers than I do. I mean, at least I'm not standing in line, waiting for sneaker releases at the mall.

And neither is this kid. Because he's paying other people to do so for him, so he can cop the latest and then flip them for a profit. He's known as The Sneaker Don aka Benjamin Kickz aka Benjamin Kapelushnik, and he's a high school student that has made himself the sneaker dealer to the stars. DJ Khaled, Chris Brown, and tons of others have used his services to acquire kicks they want to get their hands on.
