About

About

One person.
One eye.

The Vault is curated by Nick Engvall, twenty years inside sneaker and automotive culture, now selling the pieces that shaped it, one at a time.

The Vault started as a closet that got out of hand. Two decades of collecting, magazines from Tokyo back rooms, sneakers I could not let go of, model cars still sealed from shops that no longer exist. At some point a collection becomes an archive, and an archive wants to be shared.

I spent my career at the front of sneaker culture, StockX, Complex, Eastbay, Stadium Goods. I know what a real piece looks like, what a story is worth, and how rarely the two show up together. The Vault is where I put the ones that have both.

How it works

The rules

01

One at a time

No drops, no hype, no restocks. Every listing is a single piece. When it is gone, it is gone.

02

Found, not sourced

Nothing here came from a wholesale list. Each item was tracked down, held, and chosen personally.

03

Built in public

The Journal is the honest record, the good months and the quiet ones. Watch it get built.

Every piece funds the next chapter of Pursuit.
