A local to Newberry and a Newberry High graduate of just last year, Mohamed Hassan is the young and determined business owner of MO3SOLES, a boutique shoe store specializing in rare and unique sneakers and streetwear.


Mohamed always liked shoes growing up, but recalls not having much money to buy them. When he was in 9th grade, he bought himself a nice pair of used sneakers for $40 and, seeing their potential, he cleaned them up and gave them a new life. The second time he wore them out, someone offered to buy them, and Mohamed got an idea.


After seeing how people responded to his shoes, he decided to buy more used shoes, revive them, and sell them for a profit. He eventually expanded into new shoes and, when his living room became filled with shoes, he found himself looking for a storefront to expand his business. Having used all his money to buy the building his store is currently in, he found that he couldn’t afford a contractor to renovate his space. Determined no less, Mohamed and his parents fixed up his shop, from the floors to the lights and ceiling. He stresses the role that his family and friends play in his business to this day, and remains grateful.


Now, Mohamed runs a thriving business that sees many visitors during the workday with customers shopping and friends often stopping in to lend a helping hand. MO3SOLES has several loyal customers who Mohamed loves to see and interact with during their shopping experience. His goal for 2023 is to open an additional storefront and expand into other cities. What started with only shoes in his living room has expanded to include clothing, hats, bags, and other accessories in his downtown store. Stop and shop his incredible collection, you won’t be disappointed!
