From the Desk of the Publisher | Andrew Sia
This is our first attempt to explore into the shoe industry and try to draw our readers attention. It is something that is gaining the market’s attention as the sneakers are gaining their popularity across all genders and age groups.
This is an opportunity that we would want our youngsters to pay attention and to develop in their future career.
Opening Remark
This is inspired by our readers’ interest in exploring more opportunities in the sneaker industry. We tried to look for some major tradeshows to show to our readers and hope by providing this information will help to promote the graduates to take part in this industry which is becoming more important by the day.
We will start with the first quarter of 2023 and hopefully that we can also hear from those who are from the industry.
