things are finally starting to heat up! and the chapters are getting longer. this one is about 1500 words. again, at this point its a star wars fanficiton. enjoy!

(Search #ttt on my blog for the earlier chapters!)

Chapter Eight

The clothes fit almost perfectly, and were much better suited to the intense heat then my normal clothes. The shirt was very long on me, so I tucked it into my skirt. The bright red cape came to my waist, blocking the twin suns' rays from my back. Now I just needed a better pair of shoes; my black walmart sneakers were quickly getting ruined in the sandy terrain. I saw a cobbler's booth on my way to the restaurant, I would probably check it out later. But now I needed to find Hannah. I was getting very anxious. I never did do well in new situations, my throat clenches up and I become distant. Which is fine if you are doing something like asking for no pickles on your hamburger, but not exactly optimal on a hostile alien planet.

I left the restroom with my old clothes bundled under my arm. I pulled the comlink off of my jeans and flipped it on.

“Hannah?” I asked, unsure how loudly I needed to speak for her to hear me, and nervous about using it in public. After all, it might be considered rude to talk on the comlink while walking down the street.

There was a brief moment of static before Hannah picked up.

“Yeah, what is it? You in trouble or something?” Hannah asked. Her words were slurred slightly, but it might have just been the connection.

“No, I just wanted to meet up with you. I got some new clothes!” I told her. Hannah grunted.

“I'm at the cantina down the road from the ship. Just basically go the opposite way that you did earlier, and you'll find me just fine. Seeya,”   Hannah said. The channel was staticy again, then went silent. She must have switched hers off.

“Yeah, see ya,” I repeated to nobody. I glanced around to see if I was attracting attention, but nobody was looking at me. I breathed a sigh of relief and began walking towards the ship. At the very least, the roads were straight. I quickly made it back to the ship. I could tell; it was smaller then the rest of the vaporators.

“So if she said the opposite way, then that's this way,” I murmured to myself. I followed the “directions” that Hannah had given me, walking slowly down the road searching for anything that looked like a cantina. Which is significantly harder then it sounds, since all of the buildings look the same. A loud crash caught my attention and I looked up to see a large, heavily muscled man get thrown out of a window. Shattered glass flew everywhere. Bystanders took cover as another man jumped out the window hole after him.

“Gimme what you owe me!” the second man demanded. The first man pulled out a blaster and someone screamed.  “I don't owe you nothin!” he yelled. He tried to stand up, but he fell over in a drunken stupor. The second main tore off his coat, taking a thick wallet out. He threw the coat back at the man and ran off. The people stared at the man on the ground for a moment, before a large alien walked out from inside the building and drug the passed out human inside, most likely to force him to work off the cost of the window. I leaned over to a middle-aged woman who was unfazed by the whole occurrence.

“Who are they?” I asked. She shrugged.

“Who knows. Just some smugglers who got in a fight over royalties, probably. There's always fights going on there, everyone orders more liquor then they can hold and decides to try to make business deals afterwards. My ex-husband wasted his life away in that cantina.” There was acid in her tone, but I got the information I needed. I jogged to the cantina and pushed the door open, steeping inside. Obviously there wasn't any rule about minors, because the bartender didn't seem bothered by my presence. I scanned the tables until I saw Hannah relaxing in a corner booth across from the newly broken window. She was nursing a tall glass of something neon green. I walked over to her and sat down across the table.

“Nice cape,” she said, taking another sip of the drink. There were five or six empty glasses littering the table, all sporting the remains of the same drink.

“What's that?” I asked. Hannah tilted the glass and peered into it.

“Deser' bloom, mix'd wit a high-ly spiked gree' galaxy,” she said. Her words were very slurred.

“You're drunk.” I stated. Hannah shrugged. “Helps wit th' regrets. Want un?”

I shook my head 'no'. Hannah shrugged again. “Suit yersef. Hey, I gotcha somethin',” she said. She handed me a sturdy leather bag.

“Figur'd ya would need to put yer stuff somewheres.”

I accepted the bag.

“You come here often, don't you?” I asked. Hannah stared at the ceiling. “Used to.”

I nodded. “Right.”

We sat in silence for a few minutes. I watched the other cantina patrons. The man who passed out earlier was nowhere to be seen.

“What were they fighting about?” I asked. Hannah glanced at me.

“Who?”

“Those two men, who broke the window earlier,” I clarified. Hannah leaned back in her seat.

“That first guy, th' one who shot outta th' win-dow, he borrow'd some cash fr'm th' other guy. But he forgotta bout it and now the guy's gotta git back his cash somehow, right? So he does it th' only way he know.”

“Oh,” I replied. Hannah looked at me.

“World ain't all sunshine an' flowers, ya know.”

I turned to her. “Of course I know that! Hannah, of all people, you should know best that I understand the way the world works. I've gone through things other people pray never happen to them!”

Hannah just shrugged and downed the rest of her drink.

“Ain't that th' truth.” Her body slumped as she became drowsy.

A man in an old military uniform strolled into the cantina. I would say early republic by looking at it, but it was torn to shreds in places and faded thoroughly. He handed the bartender a slip of paper. The bartender held it up, studied it, then handed it back to the man while shaking his head. I leaned forward, studying the situation while Hannah fell asleep. The man in the uniform slid a tattered bill to the bartender. The bartender hesitated, then grabbed it and pointed in Hannah and my direction. The man smiled and walked over to us.

“Well, well, well, what have we here? Looks like a drunken rat to me,” he said, smirking. He pulled out a blaster and levelled the barrel at Hannah. I kicked her under the table.

“Huh? Wha-? oh. It's you,” she said drunkenly. “Whadda want?”

The man sat down, keeping the blaster level.

“You know perfectly well what I am after. But since you have drunk yourself into a complete stupor, I will clarify. The spice, specifically the shipment you were supposed to have at my ship last week.”

Hannah's eyes widened. “Oh, uh, well you see, I uh...” she trailed off. She glanced nervously at the blaster. At first I didn't understand why, since she couldn't die, but then I realized that if she got shot in public and it didn't do anything to her she would be in as much trouble as if she got shot and died.

“You don't have it, do you Solo?” The man asked. Hannah swallowed heavily.

Solo? Hannah went by Solo? Oh, of course. HANnah Solo. She really wasn't too good with names, was she?

“It was stolen,” Hannah announced. She glared at the man.

“Stolen? By whom, you?” the man asked, mockery in his voice. “Goodbye, Solo.”

I saw his blaster go off, the bright bolt of energy exiting the muzzle. It seemed to move in slow motion, as I lept and shoved Hannah out of the way onto the floor. As soon as she was safe, I jumped up and attacked the man. I reached out to grab his blaster and it lept into my hand. I stared at it, startled. But this was no time for dawdling. I quickly turned the weapon around and pointed it at the man.

“Consider your life payment of her debt,” I growled. The man's eyes went huge. “You're one of the Jedi, aren't you,” he breathed. I narrowed my eyes to hide the fact that I wasn't making eye contact.

“Get out of here,” I growled. The man paused, then turned and ran. I threw the blaster to the floor and turned to Hannah. She was sitting up, rubbing her head. “Wha was tha' fer?” She demanded, clearly irritated.

“I just saved your life. You're welcome.”

Sneakerhead culture began 30 years ago as an underground movement.

Now, thanks to the casualization of fashion and increasing dominance of ‘athleisure’ and streetwear, it has, in recent years, well and truly exploded into the mainstream.

As the numbers of people interested in copping super hyped trainer releases increases, the brands that sell those trainers have profited from the opportunity by leveraging scarcity as their business model, creating a disparity between demand and supply in order to generate maximum brand hype.

It’s a demand that motivates people to camp for days outside stores in order to be able to get their hands on a pair of limited edition Yeezys.

inRead invented by Teads

It’s also a demand that has, in isolated cases, led to violence. In Chicago in 2005, two men murdered a 17-year-old for a pair of Air Jordans. In 2012, two teenagers who had successfully purchased Air Jordan 11’s were robbed and shot in New Jersey. In 2016, over 500 people lined up overnight outside an adidas store in Taiwan for NMD sneakers and several people were injured in the ensuing stampede, and in 2017, a man lining up for the atmos x Nike Air Max 1 outside a Nike store in Hong Kong was attacked.

  “It’s a broken system,” says Josh Luber, the co-founder and chief executive of sneaker resale website StockX. “The shoe is worth $1500 but the brands are selling it for $250 and then relying on bedlam and chaos for people to get their hands on it.”

In a bid to solve the problem, Luber teamed up with Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team owner Dan Gilbert (who also owns Quicken Loans, the largest mortgage lender in the United States) and launched StockX in 2016, a website that uses a variable pricing model based on the same system used to buy and sell shares on the stock market, to sell consumer goods.

The Detroit-based company, which makes money by taking a percentage of sale prices, now employs more than 500 people and has expanded into additional categories of streetwear, watches and handbags. It’s one of the fastest growing startups in the US, with more than 8 million people using the platform every month, resulting in more than $2 million per day in sales. They raised $44 million in funding in September from Google’s investment arm GV (formerly known as Google Ventures) and Battery Ventures, plus a couple of names you might recognise, like Don C, Steve Aoki, and Karlie Kloss (Eminem, Mark Wahlberg, and Scooter Braun are already invested), and expect to turnover $1 billion worth of sneakers and streetwear this year.

Unlike shopping on marketplaces like Ebay and DePop, transactions on StockX occur automatically when a buyer’s bid and a seller’s asking price meet. Once this happens, the seller ships the item to a StockX hub, where it’s physically authenticated by a team of sneaker experts before being sent to the buyer. After all, when you’re shelling out £12,250 for a pair of Adidas, you want to be sure they’re not knock offs.

After LA and New York, London has more sneaker sellers than anywhere else in the world. In the UK, the trainer resale market alone is worth an estimated £200 million annually and is set to grow upwards of 20 per cent per annum as ‘sneakerhead’ culture enters the mainstream. Which explains why StockX just opened its first UK authenticating hub, at a site in West London.

Globally, the sneaker resale market is valued somewhere between five and seven billion US dollars. “Even if you say it’s five billion, the primary sneaker retail market globally is about 100 billion, so this is still a pretty small fraction of the overall market so there’s a lot of room to grow,” says Luber.

With an opportunity like that, it’s perhaps not surprising some of the behemoths of the fashion world have started to pay attention to planet sneakerhead. In February, LVMH Luxury Ventures (the venture capital arm of luxury conglomerate Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) made an undisclosed investment in NYC-based sneaker and streetwear resale store and e-commerce site Stadium Goods. The brand, launched by New Yorkers Jed Stiller and John McPheters in 2015, had raised $5.6 million prior to LVMH being involved, and was on track to do over $100 million in gross merchandise volume in 2017.

And just this week, leading online luxury fashion marketplace Farfetch announced it was acquiring StockX’s main competitor, Stadium Goods, for an enterprise value of $250 million. “It is clear that there is a great opportunity for our two companies to leverage each other's strengths to go after a larger share of an exciting and fast-growing segment of luxury fashion,” said Farfetch Founder, CEO and Co-Chairman, José Neves of the move.

The trick to making money selling sneakers is getting your hands on them cheap at retail, before selling them on for inflated prices. StockX once saw a pair of Nikes bought for $250 at retail, sell for $40,000. “Anyone that managed to get their hands on a pair of Air Jordans from the first Virgil Abloh’s Off White x Nike collaboration for example bought the shoes at $200 or $250 at retail and could resell them immediately for $1500,” says Luber. “There’s massive profit to be made. Because that exists, every single person wants to be able to buy it at the retail price, which means it’s almost impossible.”

Those unwilling to spend four days camping outside their local Nike Town tend to have success by forging connections with store managers who keep shoes back for them, while others go to the extremes of writing computer programmes to hack the online store systems on release days.

Brands are nowadays making it harder for bots to shop the drops with quizzes and raffles that require human interaction and knowledge. For one of its recent drops for example, Nike embedded eight clues within their app; only those that answered them all correctly could shop the release.

George Sullivan runs a UK-based website called The Sole Supplierthat aggregates information on sneaker retailers, their raffles, quizzes and release dates, to make it easier for people to shop sneaker drops. He’s noticed the fastest growing demographic of sneaker traders is those under the age of 18. “I always hear about these kids that are 15 or 16 and they’re just like a genius coder tapping away all day and night,” he says. “They won’t be playing Call of Duty they’ll be coding a bot to buy loads of Yeezys off Adidas.”

Some of these teenagers are building serious businesses from their bedrooms. “These guys coding bots are getting 50 pairs on a Yeezy release from Adidas in different sizes,” says George. “If for example you were a really savvy 15-year-old and you managed to get your hands on a pair in every size from the Yeezy Zebra restock (the most hyped Yeezy that resold for about four times its initial selling price of £250) and you resold them quickly, you could make £50k in a day.”

However, while there’s undoubtedly cash to be made, the vast majority, insist both Luber and Sullivan, are in it for the love of shoes. “Lots of people buy one pair to wear and one to sell – one to rock, one to stock as we say – that’s the dream,” says Sullivan, adding that 90 per cent of product sold on his site is “box fresh” (unworn). “Then from the money they make selling a pair it means the pair they have on their feet are free.” Luber agrees that, while his site attracts collectors who own hundreds of pairs unworn of trainers (he personally owns 400 pairs, 30 of which are unworn), most are buying to wear.

Brands do not directly make money from the resale market, but the hype created by limited supply is fantastically good PR. “The brands that play in the space are really really good at understanding those supply and demand dynamics to release products that are technically in under supply,” says Luber. “That creates hype and riots and that prestige is good for them.”

Luber’s personal focus as StockX grows is developing direct relationships with brands so that they consider StockX an alternative retail channel where they can release product directly on the site — what he calls an IPO. “At some point you have to stop fighting and figure out a way to work together,” says Luber, likening his business to the world of ticketing ten years ago. “It used to be like this when chains and leagues were trying to arrest ticket sellers and shut down ticketing websites, but eventually those markets realised they should work with them and now you have marketplace companies like StubHub.” In 2016, StockX had its first sneaker 'IPO' - Nike released LeBron's first retro sneaker on StockX – it was featured on the New York Times homepage.

So should you be investing in sneakers? In short, probably not unless you really know your Air Force from your Air Max… and are a dab hand at writing a line or two of code. While some of the trading margins may be higher than that of gold, the reality is you need to know your stuff and be prepared to devote some serious time and energy to getting rich from flogging Yeezys. Plus, compared to something like gold or oil, they’re a riskier asst, lacking in longevity. “They’re just leather and rubber,” says Luber, “if they just sit there for 50 years the rubber and glue will come apart.”

That said, if you’re looking to make a quick buck (or ten… thousand), I’ve heard of sillier plans.
