*BIG ANNOUNCEMENT* - when @havasole4success opens, I am going to commit to getting my GED with the first round of students that we hire.
*BIG ANNOUNCEMENT* - We are launching a new program called @havasole4success | a $15/hour paid internship for local incoming high school seniors. This program will include mentorship, resumé building and workshops, community capacity building, budgeting, marketing and branding, video and photo production along with many other life skills. Our pilot program has been funded by the Herbert Simon Family Foundation. Thank you Steve for always believing in our mission!
Did you know that #havAsole started in July 2014? It started with my collection of 150 pairs of sneakers. Loaded them into my Ford Explorer and drove around giving them away. Collected different sizes because everyone doesn’t wear a 10.5. Now, we’ve given almost 24,000 pairs all over the U.S. We turned a passion project into a business. I feel very fortunate and extremely grateful for the love and support throughout the last six years. Thank you. Stay safe.
A mask can’t hide the joy in someone’s eyes. Thank you everyone who has supported #havAsole during this challenging time. Your love pushes us to stay creative in how we support the community. Photo from @dezjonez
Today we delivered some fresh sneakers to the amazing staff over at @simplywholesome to bring them a little comfort. Swipe through to meet some of our new friends. Thank you @footlockerla for partnering with us! #havAsole #becuasesneakers
Today we partnered with @footlockerla to simply bring some love in the form of sneakers to our friends over at @simplywholesome. They have been working so hard to provide a safe place for people to get essential items. We wanted to show appreciation and let them know they’re not in this alone. #havAsole #becausesneakers
#EIGHTfor8 - LA to Philly for Kobe. Click the link in our bio to see our tribute. 💜💜💜
Check out #havAsoleEIGHTfor8, a tribute to Kobe Bryant. We’d love your support - visit the link in our bio - Throw up the 💜 after you watched and let us know what you think.
A quick story about this shirt - we went to the first Laker game after Kobe passed. This shirt was given to everyone in attendance. I took it with me on our 8th #havAsole road trip. We ended up at the @acesbasketball game and after an amazing win, the entire Varsity Team signed it for me. Our #EIGHTfor8 tribute will be out soon.
Dropped off a pair of 3’s to Jeremy after he finished his #havAsole Stay Home & Stay Active Challenge. @wattsskillsacademy
@wattsskillsacademy is Staying Home & Staying Active. Super fresh pairs for Chris and Jazmin! #havAsole
Today makes week 3 of our #havAsole Stay Home & Stay Active campaign. Today we dropped off some fresh pairs to the kids over at the @wattsskillsacademy. We are running low on youth sizes and unfortunately can’t take incoming sneaker donations right now but we will find a way to connect with the youth. Stay safe out there.
#havAsole Stay Home & Stay Active picks up tomorrow with 12 deliveries but for now.. how cute are they??
For the love of sneakers? No.. for the love of these kids. #havAsole X @idayallday
#swipe - You should meet the two amazing mother’s behind these beautiful children. I know you’d feel inspired by the amount of strength they have. I certainly was! Here are a few moments from today’s special delivery. #havAsole Stay Home & Stay Active.
Met two amazing families that took the #havAsole Stay Home & Stay Active Challenge. Here is Penelope showing me how to tie her new sneakers. Thank you @idayallday for connecting us!

Yesterday we met an amazing young boxer named @merylandcgh. She invited us in and showed us her trophy wall. Moments I won’t forget. We surprised her with a pair of Nike Huaraches from the movie Creed II that we’re donated by @michaelbjordan and @steelobrim. #havAsole X @wattsrams
#swipe - in ten years from now I want to think about these moments. Delivering sneakers to these amazing kids with the @wattsrams coaches. #havAsole
Pulled up to Issac’s house with his sneakers but he had a surprise for me! @is.aac8589 donated a pair of red Adidas to #havAsole. Shout out to the @wattsrams for inspiring all these amazing young athletes!
COViD-19 has changed a few things.. just don’t let it change your heart. Stay Home & Stay Active.
#swipe - There is no such thing as off season for the coaches of the @wattsskillsacademy and @wattsrams. They are here for the kids 100% of the time. Not only are they role models, mentors and father figures but they serve our streets as Officers of the LAPD. Yesterday we went to 17 houses and they were there with us at each stop. #havAsole
Mask, gloves and no hugs - not my ideal way to #havAsole but I still loved every minute of yesterday.
