    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.

    Originally from Tokyo, Hamada moved to Singapore more than six months ago and brought with him over 10 pairs of sneakers. Half of them have not been worn.
