The Shoeless Ones was founded on a simple truth: talent is universal, but opportunity is not. We believe a pair of shoes can open doors; ensuring a lack of equipment never stands in the way of a child's potential. By providing new and gently worn athletic shoes, we empower the next generation with the foundation they need to run, play, and spark even bigger dreams every day.
Our Story




About us
Brothers Jordan and Jason Adeyemi are creating a platform for change. The Shoeless Ones is more than a project - it ensures young athletes have a fair shot. They aim to support the next generation, one pair of shoes at a time.
Our Roots and Reach
What began as a local effort to support youth in Atlanta grew into a global mission.
Atlanta and Lagos served as our pilot communities, revealing the power of shoes.
To date, we have distributed over 750 pairs of shoes and cleats to kids in the U.S., U.K. and Nigeria.
