The Collectors

COOL – the word pops up often when Kohei Hamada talks about why he loves and collects sneakers.

The Japanese entrepreneur is director of global expansion for Soda Inc – the parent company of SNRKDUNK, Japan’s leading customer-to-customer (C2C) sneaker platform – but has loved sneakers even before taking on his current role.
