This season, SoHo's Dream Hotel simultaneously introduced a new service and created a new career option: sneaker concierge. The prestigious title is one of many hats worn by the hotel's director of guest services Vaughn Davis, who has earned access to the world's most highly-coveted footwear due to his 20+ years of experience in collecting sneakers. Currently, the exclusive service is available only to those staying at the hotel's $5k-a-night guesthouse. "Due to the clientele we have staying here—brands that are leading the industry, some of the top artists in the entertainment industry who have sneaker deals and so on—those connections make it far easier for us to find sneakers," Davis told leading sneakerhead magazine Sole Collector. 

Hopes&Fears reached out to Davis to ask him just what these VIPs are requesting.
