Corgishoe, since his days of unloading sneakers on his blog and NikeTalk, has been one of the most controversial sneaker resellers around. His presence only became more known once Instagram caught on, and he started to upload decade-old sneakers, that many were still searching for, on a daily basis.
What made Corgi a recognizable character in the sneaker reselling world wasn’t just the collection he had — although it seemed limitless and filled with gems that most had forgotten about — but it was also the interactions that took place in the comments of his posts.
