Long before he was running his own things, Nick Engvall was part of the Sole Collector world, on the staff, on the forums, at the meetups, one of the people who actually showed up. He came up the way a lot of the best people in this culture did, not through a job posting but through caring too much about sneakers and finding the others who did too.
This whole site, and the newsletter that goes with it, exists because he never let go of that feeling, the one you get connecting with people over a shoe instead of hiding behind an app.
If you crossed paths with Nick back in the forum and meetup days, what do you remember?
