what's up you guys my name is dj and today we are at the secret west
warehouse i can't tell you guys where it's at but i'm telling you right now
there's some dope stuff in here and my man right here he didn't take the
game to a whole nother level and we're about to see and learn about every
single thing today come on let's get it
welcome back to the channel if you did not know about now my name is dj and
this is the dna show if you haven't already go
ahead and hit that subscribe button smash the like button because that helps
the algorithm oh so much without that being said
we gotta talk about some shoes today joe tell us about the spot
all right so this is our new um warehouse up in portland
just moved it from eugene now triple the size of the last one
so we've got some more room to work with well let's start uh at the end of the
warehouse we got a bunch of shoes over here yeah yeah
well i guess we could start over here so here we have some leftovers
of the last release kind of scattered around
um this one was the bellaire jordan 5 this guy these didn't do so hot so
that's why we're stuck with them but we'll talk about that in another video
about how the whole flipping process works sometimes you can't hit on
everything right you can't win on the wall you
can't but it's okay because that's the part of the process what you got over
here um it's the same shoe just men's adult
sizes yeah these ones are going out we get
found a buyer but they're here for a few more days so when
it comes to this shoe in particular how many pairs did you purchase you got a
whole stack right here a bunch of kids pairs over here
yeah yeah yeah between kids and men's i got like 1500 pairs
wait a minute already moved out around a thousand of them and this is like the
last 500 okay and that turnaround time is roughly
it it's out within a week of the release okay so every week there's stuff
dropping you know new coming in new going out each and every week it's
always coming so i like changing you can't just see something for him and
then expect to come in and get it because it's probably going to be gone
okay i like that so we got stuff moving talk about this wall what's the
concept behind this right here exposing all the shoes is this kind of one-off
yeah yeah yeah this particular section is kind of mixed
but for the most part i would say it's nike basketball
okay and you can see some kyrie kobe lebron
um and although we're not like a store when we're pulling our inventory and we
can see what the actual shoe is so instead of looking for that skew
number on there instead we're just looking for what the
shoe looks so gotcha it makes it that much easier in the finding process
this in particular i don't got the display off but this is the
next percent shoe got a good amount of these i feel like the running
running stuff that does well have some other
styles here orange box not just the height stuff
but also what can just make some money yo anything that's got a dog here i mean
this is like about as garbage as you can get
free run 2018s still something in there just gotta find at the right price right
so when it comes to you i see you got some
racers on yo chilling big chilling the dailies the typical
gold trains right yeah a lot of people see you rocking all these or see you
posting all these dope shoes yeah yeah yeah but then you're like i need some
coffee shoes yeah these are these are the these are the
dailies i love flying at training so when it comes to like yo three
rotation sneakers what would those be um these guys uh
air force and like a jordan one okay you can't go wrong with all
simple simple classic classic no okay what we got over here
i see you kicking it old school for me i like this right here so we got
these are all four and five and a half um shocks because we got
got all these for like 20 so fire too cheap to pass on fire sometimes you
just gotta buy stuff just because this wall is just like scattered all
types of stuff yeah where's the organization is it it's
clearly not by brand or type of shoe is it by size how do you
have it organized yeah so this is all of our like hash
stuff so stuff that we find on like the back wall
of an outlet or the box gets damaged after like us
trying to ship it out or us taking it in somewhere so this is the
stuff that's like not completely brand new stuff so we
just got it kind of all mixed in you got your own hash ball yeah
basically yeah basically we got six six rows of hats oh we got some
stuff over here all wrapping around hash wall fines yup these used to hit
for a lot of money at one point yes they did
oh wow 29.99 so i see you got some 13s over here i
need these right here bruh i ended up with a size 11 i mean what's
up can we like work a trade out or something yeah trades
trades in smaller size is always fine 13 usually hits for a little bit less so
that works out perfectly it's great for him you know i'm saying it's a win it's
a win-win so on this wall it's uh just kind of
one-offs and different random things you got your highs and your lows
what is the what's the kind of purpose behind this one are you trying to add
more to these are these like you sold all the other ones you just had these
over extra or what um this is just like tabs that do we
don't have it's kind of our last pairs of these so
we just recently condensed all of our shelves so
all the singles are all displayed at the top and then like excuse me got a
little bit more volume up like these are just still send together
size 13 just chilling you know what i'm saying
sometimes it's a benefit being wearing a size 13.
okay so we got more jordans down this aisle yeah and got some big ass sizes
right here yeah you still take pride in company big
sizes the boats bro whatever whatever makes the dollars so
when you got a shoe like this you're assuming the value's gonna go up
over time yeah so you gotta give it a little bit more right
right i just know with retros pretty much
any of them go up over time so right when i can and when it makes sense like
these two i'm just gonna hold on to for a few extra ones so
this is something you wouldn't like post as available
no and then you would wait and be like all right now it's available i got it
yeah yeah i'll post it probably by christmas or something with
a lot of the shoes some more of the long-term players yeah
a quick flip yeah there's some i'm trying to switch into that
i got you i got you so on this back wall another
bunch of j's right here yeah so these are more of our like high-end holds
so like jordan ones we got black cat fours twelves shy threes
all all the recent releases that we get a few extra
like i just try to hold on to because there's all the fun
yeah those are all the grapes got a lot of extra those so
i think these should have been worth more from the get-go yeah
yeah they just didn't really hit as good as og as usual right
satin joints do you think these are gonna go up over time yeah definitely
those ones i didn't sell any i didn't get that i mean this is all i got though
so i'm just holding all these pads this air max has been
low-key kind of popping off more even though they're classics but i feel like
a lot of people have been wearing air maxes a little bit more than often
yeah so does that kind of incline you to look after more pairs to purchase the
sale or how you've been thinking about it
uh there are like some classic models like the air max one 95 97
those are all like those three models and then like 90s are
the more the more common ones i look for i got you and yeah here we just have a
lot of our leftover one of pairs what do you think about the vapormax series
just all of it vapormax like as far as selling point like
probably my best seller okay usually they're a pretty high price point
retailing and they stay around that and then
i'm usually able to get them pretty heavy on discounts so
okay it makes it makes sense to do that definitely
roughly how many pairs of shoes do you kind of keep on average just flowing
through the warehouse i mean non-release products like we like to call these
brick shoes because they're not like heat like that they're just your
everyday air max shoes that normal people are wearing
so in terms of like the brick like brick brick shoes like that we keep like
three thousand or so two thousand okay that makes sense some people don't know
like that also is what helps fuel the business keep the fire
yeah you gotta have those shoes selling all the time too you know
it's all the random kind of stuff we got a lot of cortez right there
uh we bought those on our outlet trip in florida okay
and then i did a little tour with the u-haul y'all was walking around doing a
thing cross-country and then we did it again a
couple weeks after down to do that groundwork that's what
i'm talking about whatever it takes what's up with these yeah so that's a
bestseller that's a sleeper shoe uh-oh what are we called the shoots the
shoes yep oh shoot those
those do smack okay okay we gotta start a couple of those
sell my shoe all summer okay so this was my question that i have coming next and
we already found the spot do you do other brands than nike and
jordan and the question is kind of yes huh yeah so we had a lot
more ultra boots but they sell really fast
um to begin with but adidas like only has a couple models that actually
like sell like nmds ultra boosts and kind of
anything with boost cells for the most part but other than that like nothing
really hits so fair to nike where just about
anything with a sushi on a little hit like adidas is just not quite like that
so i see you've got some little little itty bittys over here some more stuff
over here you cater into all the crowds yep
anything again anything we're not just limited to a couple styles it's
really anything that we can flip so i ain't gonna lie to
you i'm telling you right now the market for little shoes and
christmas time it's ridiculous parents will spend
anything for their kids and if you get that new hottest retro i'm telling you
right now they're gonna buy it and you're gonna be
able to get double triple quadruple and it
literally hit the lick sometimes it'd be worth way more to sell a kid's shoe
than an adult shoe same release well we got a lot you're like i need all those
i get it bro i get it so you got the kids you got the men's
and you got the women's yeah women's shoes are some of the best-selling shoes
that i have honestly like yeah women's air forces sell way better
than bins do um some of the vapormaxes do too so so
we're at the tail end over here and then we're gonna go see
some of the heat that you got tucked off like
i thought you couldn't bring everything out but she's gonna bring a couple of
things for me so talk about the telling talk about the
warehouse just the progress of everything how you got from there to
here eugene i've been doing it for like four
years now okay started just flipping like supreme and
clothing items and then saw the market for shoes like a couple
years later and then unlimited styles coming out every week
all the time not enough to to grasp every thursday
like supreme on so there's really endless like
possibilities and like room for profit here so
just makes sense how were you when you started i was a sophomore
in high school in high school and then you
elevated to a warehouse in eugene yep yeah what age were you at that point
uh that was freshman year when i moved down eugene for school
about 18 19 years old yeah yeah yeah he's figuring it out
got the warehouse feeling good yep okay small one and then yeah now this place
and then now you're here and then how many years was that there to here
so the last one i was only in there for six months okay
okay so yeah the lease was pretty short we did in january before
gotcha i figured i signed a two-year lease well if we found someone to like
get out of it but okay so how old are you now oh
i'm 19. 19 now oh he got some time ahead of him i'm
telling you right now that's nice so what's the plan two years
five years i don't know i mean as long as
shoes are doing how they are i don't got any
plans to move out of it i mean gotcha i noticed a lot of people that get into
sneakers then start dabbling in real estate start
doing other things and i'm seeing you already shaking your head
because you're like i'm excited for something like that where
what's the goal for that because that's kind of where i'm at at this point now
where i'm like i'm buying properties doing those things so
where do you see yourself going with that i mean that's definitely something
i'm interested in long term but for now it doesn't really make sense
with like because shoes i'm just putting all my money into and it makes sense
right now with what i'm getting for it right but down the road i could
definitely see myself like getting more into real estate as it's more like
passive and not as hands-on as the shooter
definitely shipping all that stuff and then as you get into it you're gonna
start seeing there are a lot of similarities
except for like you said way more passive and that's what makes it so much
more worth it exactly i got you i got you so let's go
see the heat let's see what you got all right let me show you all right so
you brought a couple of gems out for me i see some bangers over here y'all talk
to me talk to me these these are the sager air force ones
um definitely i would say probably like the most unique and like
one of the most rare shoes i've had
i can't in say much about these is that something that you would even want to
get rid of like yeah it's that's like a hard one yeah no
it's one of the cooler ones i've had for sure
okay so you got tv stuff oregon stuff i'm pretty sure i
understand where that's coming from talk to me about the background and why
these may mean something to you or why you wanted to pick them up
yeah so these aren't just regular dbs so he's got the special box so these are
the auction shoes so every year door and doernbecher does the jordan
auction where someone bids for a signed pair of the
special box um these happen to be that so the only
other pair in the world is with the kid himself right now i know
so and they do two like that yeah the box
yeah yep yep is this a wood box too yeah it
is oh this is nice that's crazy yeah the details and everything like
that
so then the oregon series and the oregon series
yeah yeah so i used i used to go to ufo until i dropped out
um a couple months ago okay it doesn't make sense with like how this is going
right now makes sense but yeah like the ufo stuff
got some people down there holding it down for sure so yeah you're gonna try
to complete the whole set all right what you gonna do
i mean these are already sold but that's how it usually is i mean i would
love to complete a set this is about as close to a set as i'm gonna get i think
okay okay what size i'm a nine and a half
