INFINITE is proud to announce the addition of Sean Williams, a pioneer among the sneaker industry, to the INFINITE core team as Director of Business development and Community Engagement. 

I’m extremely excited to join #teaminfinite due to the potential for the Infinite sneaker app and related experiences to revolutionize consumer protection and bring an emphasis back to the storytelling that made me and many others around the world stay in love with sneakers all these years.  I look forward to using my role to push the innovation that drives the sneaker business to new heights!
— Sean Williams

Sean’s love for sneakers since the age of 13  spans over 35 years as he continues to not only build his collection of classic models, exclusives, samples, and shoes most have only heard of.  But has also grown his business savvy. In 2007, Sean Williams and longtime friend Dee Wells launched the industry's first sneaker talk show. “Obsessive Sneaker Disorder”. Sean has been featured in various noteworthy TV shows, publications, and websites such as NBC’s “The Today Show”, Maxim magazine, Slate.com, and Sneaker Freaker just to name a few. In 2012, Sean and his partner Dee made the list of “50 Most Influential People in Sneakers Right Now” published by Complex magazine. Sean also teaches OSD’s “SOLEcial Studies” which is an education program that prepares people all over the world for potential jobs and business opportunities in the athletic footwear industry.

In 2019, Sean made history as Co-curator of the first Hip-Hop apparel and sneaker exhibition at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City. In 88 days the exhibition amassed foot traffic and exposure to 9.8 million people. In 2020, Business Insider named Sean one of the "28 Most Outstanding People of Color Transforming the Sneaker Industry".

Sean Williams will be integral in helping bring curation, knowledge, and trust back into the sneaker community as well as ensure INFINITE partners with those that are mutually invested in creating an authentic experience for our users. Our mission together is to bring passion back into the sneaker community and focus on the stories like Seans and other collectors around the world.
