The First Investor

The barber shop owner allowed Darrell to showcase his sample sneakers in the window and that would end up catching the eye of his first investor.

That first investor would fund the first Bungee sneaker inventory. 

However, when Darrell received that inventory the quality of the shoes were less than stellar and now Darrell has hundreds of thousands worth of sneakers in storage.

During this time world boxing champion and entrepreneur, Bernard Hopkins took Darrell under his wing and to Neiman Marcus to show him what a high quality shoe looks like.
