Blake Wynn is a sneaker reseller that has since founded a sports marketing agency called, Enclave & Key. Blake started off buying and selling sneakers and making content through YouTube and Instagram. He was very successful doing that but he always talked about his love for sports, football especially and he thought he could make something out of that passion. He made great connections by selling sneakers to big name athletes and his family ties to the Las Vegas strip, as his uncle was the CEO of Mirage Resorts and Wynn Resorts. He dropped out of college at the age of 19 to pursue his dream of being a sports agent. Blake moved to Los Angeles to be able to become a partner with the LA Chargers, helping with their players marketing. Being with the Chargers was the first step towards opening his own marketing agency. Right at the start of Enclave and Key, he had over 30 athletes ready to partner. He became a global brand ambassador for the LA Chargers as a result of this early success. Enclave and Key has grown to represent over 150 of the biggest names in sports. Since Blake was very young, he had an entrepreneurial mind and he was always looking for the next venture.
This is great! Re-selling shoes is a very common gateway into entrepreneurship. Because of the large market for shoes, if this is done well and strategized it can be very successful. There is no question that having the connects he had through family and his business lead him to do what he is doing now being a brand ambassitor and sports agent.
This is a very cool story, especially since it grew from something so small into something so big. Starting off with just selling used sneakers and then graduating up to the level he is currently at is indicative of his hard work and dedication.
