Peddlers Ave was founded in 2013 by Lawrence Wilright Jr., a Louisiana native with a passion for sneakers, fashion, and entrepreneurship.

What began with the sale of a single pair of Air Jordan 11 Concords on the online sneaker community NikeTalk quickly grew into something much bigger. Through dedication, hard work, and a commitment to authenticity, Peddlers Ave became the first Black-owned resale sneaker store in Louisiana, helping pave the way for sneaker culture throughout the state.

Over the years, Peddlers Ave has evolved from an online sneaker business into a trusted retail destination for sneaker enthusiasts, collectors, and everyday customers. We specialize in authentic new and pre-owned sneakers, apparel, accessories, and hard-to-find footwear from some of the world’s most recognized brands.

At Peddlers Ave, we offer a unique Buy • Sell • Trade experience that allows customers to purchase authentic products, sell items from their collections, and trade sneakers and apparel. We also provide consignment opportunities, giving entrepreneurs, collectors, and local brands a platform to showcase and sell their products through our storefront.

Our mission is simple: to provide authentic products, exceptional customer service, and opportunities for growth within our community. We believe in supporting entrepreneurs, building relationships, and creating a welcoming environment where sneaker culture and business come together.

Today, Peddlers Ave proudly serves customers throughout Louisiana and across the United States while remaining committed to the values that started it all: authenticity, integrity, community, and passion.
