RICHARD III
CHIEF SNEAKERHEAD
Chief Sneakerhead isn't just a title — it's the whole reason this company exists. Rich built Proof Culture around one idea: the details other people skip are the ones that actually matter.
ERRON
OPERATIONS MERCENARY
Scale changes what a business needs week to week, and most people can't keep up with that. Erron doesn't just keep up — he goes wherever the need moves to next.
