Donated 210 Pairs!
We have given back 400 pairs of kicks since we were founded. That's 400 smiles to underprivileged youth, teens chasing their dreams, hard-working Moms and Dads. Each pair of shoes helps one start on a new path or journey. We want to ensure that the underprivileged and those in need have access to a fresh pair of kicks in order to take their first step towards their ambitions.

Donated 210 Pairs!
The value of reliable footwear is immense: showing up with appropriate footwear to interviews, interactions, and meetings makes the uphill trek of life more comfortable. But most importantly: the confidence that we all receive from receiving a new pair of shoes goes without saying. Providing a pair of shoes brings delight and self esteem to those who have been devoid of the latter.

Why Partner with the Snkr Truck?
Our Operations Model
Often, boutiques, retailers, and national Sneaker storefronts have excess inventory with minor cosmetic flaws, damages, mismatches, or returns. Cost to return these pairs to a warehouse is not practical. In addition, consumers are unwilling to purchase such pairs, even at discounted prices, due to such defects.
The Snkr Truck frees up inventory backspace and shelving to create space for new product through the donation or purchase of these pairs from the respective retailer.
Our most recent initiative, The Snkr Box, allows for increased customer traffic by incentivizing used pair donation by individuals in exchange for rebate, discount, and coupons at storefronts. This model is in 4 storefronts in Austin, TX, headlined by Shoe Palace, Magik Supply, Kicking it ATX, and Nice Kicks.
The Snkr Box also promotes higher purchase value if a discount-for-donation is in place. Individuals are incentivized to free up household storage through donation. A Snkr Box is a unique and hassle free method of boosting brick-and-mortar sales, a store talking point, and a great, free tool for point-of-purchase.
Our business models benefits your storefront inventory management and organization, costs associated with dead shelf-space, increasing store traffic and purchase volume, while contributing to a cause for the community.
