So idk if you guys have heard of him but he's on twitter, facebook, and Instagram. For the most part it's about sneaker news, rumors, and release dates and such. But there's one thing he does that's a little weird. He does these "raffles". Essentially he sells tickets and raffles off chances to purchase the shoe at or below retail. He's currently doing it with the gamma 11s, is starting to advertise doing it for the infrared 6s that are coming out. But the biggest things that makes me skeptical was a while back he had a raffle for yeezy 2 red Octobers for when they were going to release. Saying that he'd raffle off them off and if they hadn't released at that point he'd use the solars and plats instead. For the yeezy raffle each ticket was about 30 bucks a piece and he collected from this raffle for months, and even though he claimed to have 50 pairs of yeezy 2s he only announced 5 winners for the raffle, none of which as I can recall ever posted pictures or messages thanking him or anything like that. If you've heard of sneakheat I'd like to see what you guys think? Legit? Scam?
 
Haha! I don't wanna read all that. He had grapes early in a FSR. I remember something not adding up with him.

I remember that. It just all seems fishy to me. 1 he claims to have 50 pairs of yeezy 2s that he'd release on his site that's been under construction for the better part of a year. And then after something like 5 months of selling "raffle tickets" for the yeezy 2 there were only 5 winners. None if which have come forward to say "hey look at the yeezys I got from sneakheat" it would def add to his credibility
 
most people do raffles and pick their friend as a winner
This isn't a footlocker employee hooking a friend up though. He also charges for these raffles. Anywhere from 16-30 dollars. He made it seem like there were going to be a ton of winners for the yeezy and he only chose 5. With 30k followers he easily could have gotten a couple thousand people to buy tickets. Sounds like a come up to me
 
He could easily make thousands of dollars per raffle and I'm sure he does. I'm interested to see if the gammas he's raffling off will
Be GM. He chose 18 winners.
 
Keep in mind that this raffle isn't to just give them away. After selling all those tickets he's just giving the winners the "opportunity to buy them for a good price"
 
I'm not the smartest guy around, but sending a stranger money for a chance to buy shoes is just not a great move anyway. Its like having to pay @ hoh for a ticket but u cant even go there. Bad deal imo..... One thing iv learned in life and the shoe game is people can be real shady when $ is involved
 
Exactly what I think. And with 30k followers he's got a lot of money to be made. I'm glad I wasn't pressed for the yeezys cause 1st he said he had 50 pairs, next he announces he's going to do a raffle for them. But turns out there are only 5 "winners". So misleading. And he collected money for months
