Meet our Founders, Brothers Ty and Zak
To us, basketball is more than just a game. We started Sharing Shoes to provide equal footing for kids in need; and so they can experience basketball as a source of discipline, patience and teamwork. We believe these skills are essentials for everyday life. By raising local awareness about the rising cost of sports and promoting community-driven action, more athletes can experience the benefits of playing basketball.

Basketball has been more than just a game for me. It has provided valuable life skills and has given me the discipline to succeed in anything that I do. I hope that Sharing Shoes will provide an equal footing for kids in need of basketball shoes, so they can experience the same. - Ty Wilson

I’ve been playing basketball as long as I can remember... it has been an activity that served as an outlet and left a lasting impact on my life. Through basketball I’ve learned discipline, patience, and teamwork- essential life skills that translate into everyday life. With Sharing Shoes, I hope to raise local awareness and promote community-driven action! - Zak Kumar
