I never comment on vids but I had to on this one. I’ve met Aaron twice & he’s as real as this video advertises. I’m from NJ & my boy took me to Top Shelf to sell some kicks last summer. I sold my ‘07 aquas, 07 playoff 8s, & ‘07 low i.e. 11s. I also ran into him in line @ Foot Locker this past spring for da air max 97 gold. Real humble, cool & down to earth guy. Good to see his hard work paying off.
Salute this guy. He hit the nail on the head at the end. I agree alot of sneaker stores and boutiques treat customers as if its a privilege to shop in their store. This young man's business deserves to flourish times 10!!
Genuine energy is rare in the vintage wear/sneaker community now. Seems like everyone is just looking to outdo or finesse others so seeing this was definitely a breath of fresh air. I've debated plenty of times giving up the whole sneaker scene and selling all my shoes because it feels too artificial and competitive now. Good to know it's still some genuine folks out here who do it for their own passion and not hype or a price tag. Salute!
It's not just the mom and pop stores, your local foot stores were bad before. Recently, they've been able to hire people that are into the sneaker culture and know their stuff.
but still they are getting paid to sell . And i believe its better to have someone from the culture then another person who is just a "SALESMEN or SALESWOMEN
@@youngmaze126 well that's the thing. I think most of these places, the people don't talk because a) they may not actually know sneaker culture as well as the customer or b) sometimes they are just awkward and don't know how to talk to people. It's nice that he owns his own shop and it's his passion.
Easily one of the the best sneaker stores in the entire country. The owner really has been into sneakers and basketball since the 90s/early 2000s and was on that sneaker collecting shit wayyyy before it became big part of popular culture. I promise you that this guy has been doing this for way longer than your favorite hypebeast sneaker store owner. That’s why Topshelf is different from all these other spots
I’ve been to this store multiple times and the owner is the greatest dude ever. Nothing he said in this video was a lie. He really does help out us kids with good prices and taking shoes we want to sell off of our hands even if they aren’t the most hyped. Mad respect for this guy and hoping for continued success in his store. NJ represent
This dude makes me wanna go straight back to the 90s & shit!! Lol Seems like a real humble dude that deserves all the blessings and success comin his way💯💯 Keep doin ur thang big homie!!
Man has the right attitude. He loves nostalgia but he also remembers what it’s like to be an aspirational kid looking at stuff that’s beyond your reach. Utmost respect for this guy, world needs more like him.
TSK is still slept on ppl need to realize a true humble person Aaron is and how much hard work he puts in. He should have the same if not more followers then half these other shoes resellers throwing some fake content talking about I bought 100k worth of shoes lmao “sit your ass down u still live at home with ur mom” . Much love TSK channel support from SoCal 🤘
D805YUNGBOSS Yeah it's a chill spot. Don't see Chris much since they opened up in LA and NYC but all the dudes are knowledgeable and from my experience they aren't douchebags when you ask questions. I haven't been to the LA one yet.
Those NBA player figures I don't remember and I'm 34. Seen some kicks I had before and I want again. Them Deion Sanders Diamond Turf 1 og I had in 4th grade.
10:38 respect that part. This is what makes me wanna start my own store in the future. Retail stores don't care who they sell to. They will back door your kicks in a heartbeat just so they can get more money out of it. It's disgusting what the sneaker culture is at the moment. It really has more people Buying rep/UA since it really is the smarter choice at the end of the day. If you are gonna wear your shoes, and not resell them like other noobs, then UA's or buying from genuine people the best option in 2021.
The owner really a good dude, spitting facts
Stfu bitch ass nigga
Yeah, you can tell he's a real fan, he likes people and he loves memorabilia. Seems like a cool dude.
Much respect for that dude. Watch the last clip
Facts, he seems like a cool dude

I think I enjoyed that part more than anything. Cool dude.

Salute this guy. He hit the nail on the head at the end. I agree alot of sneaker stores and boutiques treat customers as if its a privilege to shop in their store. This young man's business deserves to flourish times 10!!

This owner makes me want to go to this shop. Feel like of he made no money off the shop he'd still be doing this out of love
It's all about the money my man. He just understands the culture, that's the authenticity we want.

Supersonics been gone longer than the Nets. At least the old Sonics like Payton and Kemp won't have anything to do with Thunder
