Today we’d like to introduce you to Dannekah Roberts & Dontae McGaugh.
Hi Dannekah & Dontae, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Dontae and I met in 2017 while working for our previous employer. A mutual friendship blossomed over our desire for growth in our respective careers and our love for the hottest sneakers. Sneaker Bar was formed in December 2020 by two sneakerheads that came together with the vision to provide others the opportunity to own fly kicks at a reasonable price. In a saturated market of resellers, we seek to separate ourselves by collaborating with community owned brands, taking pride in building lasting relationships with our clients, and providing the everyday shoe to the everyday customer.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
With the sneaker market being overpopulated with resellers and their continuous use of bot programs, it has limited our ability to obtain multiple quantities online via foot sites. Due to this limitation, we have been more active in visiting local retailers in order to boost our inventory.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
When purchasing from Sneaker Bar, know that you are supporting your local community brands. We will partner with our local designers to bring you high-end apparel throughout the year. Our goal is to aid in putting an end to the higher-priced resellers by shrinking our profit margin, which allows our clients to enjoy our product without breaking their pocket. This is the ideology of what our brand is built upon along with our charitable acts.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
There has not been a stroke of luck or shortcut to our success. It has come with many early mornings, long lines, and a few heartbreak losses.

Congratulations on your endeavors. There’s no doubt you will be successful because you put your clients first. I love the fact that it’s not all about padding your pockets; still providing same quality products for those financially challenged. I’m waiting for the day when Sneaker Bar will be known nation wide.
