Meet Gerome Sapp.
After playing in the NFL for the Baltimore Ravens and the Indianapolis Colts, working at Meryl Lynch, and getting his MBA at Harvard, Gerome saw an opportunity to provide education to a general public that has largely misunderstood the value of top sneakers.
As a life-long sneaker lover himself, Gerome was always hooked in class when his professors would talk about alternative assets. He would constantly compare the appreciation of shoes and other securities, like gold and the S&P 500, only to see shoes win time and time again.
Fast forward to now, Gerome has launched his platform Rares.Io to allow users to buy fractional shares of ownership into individual sneakers. He couples this with a gallery of videos for users to watch to learn how valuable this alternative asset really is.
