At age 27, entrepreneur Trevor Blanks has already found the blueprint for success and profits through his business Tunnel Vision Empire. He sells sneakers that he designs, as well as clothing, movies, and books and the visionary designer is already looking for the next step with his shoe line.
Next month, Blanks plans to release a black shoe similar to his current shoe style with a colorful bottom the T93 2.0 Black Kois.
The process involves Blanks telling a manufacturer what colors, fabrics, and bottoms he would like for his shoe. The manufacturer then sends different designs, and Blanks decides what he wants based on the designs.
