Faisal Hamad A H AL-ATHBA, popularly known as Faisal Al Athba, is a 15-year-young boy from Qatar who is an entrepreneur and a “sneakerhead”. He is planning to open a huge limited edition sneakers store in Qatar.
Over the course of the past year, sneaker collectors have spent more than $1 billion on limited edition sneakers in the resell market, according to experts. These sneakerheads try to cash in by camping out in lines in front of stores for hours or even days ahead of new releases. Buying a limited-edition pair of Air Jordans or Yeezys, for example, can mean multiplying your money in the re-sale market, from about $265 to as much as a few thousand dollars. Those with the right connections and an eye for fashion can turn a hobby into a full-time job.
Being from a reputed family and having good connections with millionaires, billionaires, and celebrities is certainly going to help Faisal Al Athba in getting some good clients. He said the sneaker store he is coming up with will be a unique concept having only limited edition and custom made shoes starting from 30,000 US Dollars which will not only be sold in the store but online as well.

Faisal Al Athba said, “I’m interested in teaching people of Qatar how to do online business. As I feel people here are still not that much aware of online marketing and they are far behind from countries like the USA and UK. I also want to change many things in Qatar and UAE as I find many places where I can give my input which can be beneficial for me as well as for others.”
