Pushas
|
PUSHAS is Australia's Premium Sneaker Marketplace helping Australians buy and sell their most hyped and coveted sneakers. In early 2017, their Sydney-based team set out to serve the wider sneaker community in Australia. With this mission in mind, they created PUSHAS: Australia's Premium Sneaker Marketplace offering legit checks, flatshipping, and the best service of any sneaker marketplace in the world.From the beginning, they vowed that they would be in this for the long haul. This means they are happy and willing to cop short-term losses (hence their low fees and amazing service), if it means they may fulfil their mission and build up the PUSHAS family. they truly believe that many people fail to create anything meaningful as they lack the discipline to play the long game. Nothing inherently extraordinary can come from chasing selfish short-term gain, money or fleeting status. Because of this ethos, they are coming up. They're slowly but surely gaining notoriety and building an immensely loyal cult following of PUSHAS.Now, PUSHAS is more than a platform. PUSHAS are the select few who, bound by their love of sneakers, now share this way of life. These PUSHAS all around Australia are together forging what it means to be a PUSHA. | $890.1K / Pre-Seed / Oct 15, 2021 | |
