Urban Necessities is a sneaker resale and consignment shop focused on the community founded by a husband-and-wife duo who previously worked corporate jobs but yearned for more human connection. They started by posting pictures of shoes on their dining room table on social media and selling them out of the trunk of their car. Each transaction is an exchange of stories of the origin of one's love of sneakers. Las Vegas is a melting pot of people defined by its residents and the visitors that come into the city. Urban Necessities' creativity and inspiration come from that diversity. Las Vegas is a place where everyone seems to flock to at some point for an experience, and that is what Urban Necessities is as well. To learn more, visit urbannecessities.com.
