Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Brennan Agranoff, 17, has more than 500 designs he comes up with by himself. 
  
 A local teenager has sold $1 million in custom socks, and he hasn't even graduated high school. 
  
 Brennan Agranoff is the founder and CEO of HoopSwagg, an online custom-design sock business that he runs from his backyard. 
  
 “I have enough socks in this warehouse to wear every day until I die, and I was like, ‘wow, that's shocking,’” said Agranoff. 
  
 He gets about 100 new sock orders every day for the more than 500 designs that he comes up with himself. 
  
 “My ideas, they're either really random or based on what is happening right now,” said Agranoff. 
  
 His unique designs include PDX carpet, galaxy themed and even pictures of the goats that his family owns; they’re one of his most popular designs. 
  
  
  
 The idea for HoopSwagg came to him four years ago at age 13 at a high school basketball game. The Sherwood High School junior then spent six months researching the mechanics and logistics of putting together his company. 
  
 “I taught myself how to code and graphic design and learned as I went. It slowly evolved and I learned more business aspect,” said Agranoff. 
  
 Dad and business investor, Brian Agranoff, took a leap of faith on his son, even when he says he thought it was a little crazy. 
  
 “Every day is kind of an adventure really,” said Brian Agranoff. “Never underestimate the power and ability your kids have to do something cool.” 
  
 Not many teenagers can get out of doing chores, even those who run a million-dollar business. 
  
  
  
 Brennan’s mother and father make sure he has a balanced life. The 17-year-old still has to go to school, work on homework and feed the goats. 
  
 “I'll come home from school and I work about 5 to 6 hours a day. I don't necessarily sleep the most. I love it,” said Agranoff. 
  
  
  
 Brennan is also color blind. Fortunately, he has his parents and a full team behind him that he has hired to help when it’s needed. 
  
 He says he plans on pursuing a college education in the future, but he will graduate early and work for his company full-time for a while beforehand. He says his next big step is to branch into retail in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. ||||| HoopSwagg was started in July of 2013 and has quickly become a leader when it comes to Customized Elite Socks, Custom Arm Sleeves, and other apparel.

These silly socks are guaranteed to turn some heads! ||||| SHERWOOD, Ore., April 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, HoopSwagg, LLC, the leader in customized HoopSwagg and premium name branded socks, sleeves and other customized apparel, announced it has acquired TheSockGame.com, a site that also provides premium branded athletic apparel customization since 2011. 
  
 As a part of the acquisition deal, HoopSwagg will continue to operate the TheSockGame.com website, which was considered one of two companies to enter the premium sock customization space early on. The brand has not only been known for its creativity and innovation, but they have also built one of the largest social media followings in the space. In addition to the acquisition, HoopSwagg has also added 200 new designs to total over 500 designs printed on HoopSwagg, Notion™ and premium branded athletic socks. 
  
 "We are extremely excited to carry on the TheSockGame.com brand, which has been a major player in defining the market for custom socks. In 6 years, they have amassed an incredibly loyal following largely due to their innovation, product quality, premium designs, and legendary promotions," said Brennan Agranoff, Founder and CEO of HoopSwagg. "With the addition of 200+ designs and a premium sock line from TheSockGame.com line, HoopSwagg is well positioned to expand our reach and better meet the growing demand we see for direct retail, custom team socks, and custom elite socks for fundraising." 
  
 According to a recent study, "Socks Market: Global industry analysis and forecast 2016 - 2026," athletic socks are one of the two main variants that capture the largest market share, due to their diverse application: for sport and casual wear. Another key socks market driver is the push towards making socks a fashion statement.

 The high-school junior balances homework with another full-time job he's had since he was 13: He's founder and CEO of HoopSwagg, a custom socks startup. 
  
 HoopSwagg isn't just a little project on the side for this teenager. In four years, Agranoff has grown his idea to make custom-design athletic socks into a profitable online-only business with annual sales of more than $1 million. 
  
 Agranoff's lightbulb moment came in 2013 at a high-school basketball game, where he noticed most kids were wearing the same plain Nike athletic socks. If these simple socks started such a craze, he wondered: What would happen if he kicked things up a notch and printed custom designs on them?

 Fast forward four years, and HoopSwagg now offers more than 200 original designs created by Agranoff himself: a mix of goofy (a melting ice cream cone), funky (a spoof of the infamous Portland International Airport carpet) and tongue-in-cheek ("goat farm," a family inside joke scattered with photos of the real animals on the family's property). Agranoff also wants to allow customers to create their own designs in the future. 
  
 The company is now shipping 70 to 100 orders a day, with each pair of socks priced at $14.99. And this week, HoopSwagg announced its first acquisition: It bought competitor TheSockGame.com, which will add over 300 designs to the portfolio and help expand HoopSwagg's customer base. 
  
 But HoopSwagg started small. After Agranoff's initial idea at the school basketball game, he spent six months researching logistics like machinery and technology needed for custom digital printing on fabric. 
  
 He then made the case to two potential investors: his parents. "They thought the concept was a little out there," Agranoff said. But he was persistent and ultimately received a $3,000 loan. 
  
 In true startup fashion, HoopSwagg launched in the family garage in Sherwood, Oregon, just outside of Portland. Agranoff set up the design printing and heat presser machines with his family's help. He enlisted his parents to buy "as many white athletic socks as they could get from Dick's Sporting Goods." 
  
 Hoopswagg's first year was slow. But momentum grew quickly after the socks -- which Agranoff said are "for everyone from 6-year-olds to 80-year-olds" -- took off on social media.

 Agranoff leveraged his own social network and targeted a group of social influencers to help spread the word. In particular, the sock design inspired by the Portland airport's former teal-and-geometric-shape pattern went viral, bringing more attention to the brand. 
  
 As sales soared, the company quickly outgrew the garage. The Agranoff family built a 1,500-square-foot building on their property to accommodate production, warehousing and shipping. 
  
 His mother joined the business full-time, and Agranoff also has 17 other part-time employees. But self-sufficiency is key to his success, he said. Agranoff also taught himself to code, so he could better set up and manage his business' website, and how to use graphic design tools to develop the designs. He remains the company's only graphic designer, though he is colorblind.

 For now, the socks are primarily sold through HoopSwagg's website and via Amazon (AMZN, Tech30), eBay (EBAY) and Etsy. The next three years are pivotal for HoopSwagg, said Agranoff, who wants the brand to be in retail stores," said Agranoff. He's also expanding customization to other products like shoelaces, arm sleeves and ties. 
  
 Meanwhile, Agranoff is set to graduate high school six months early. While college is in the plan at some point, he's slated to focus on HoopSwagg full-time after high school graduation. He currently spends about six hours per day on the business, after putting in a day of school and finishing his homework. 
  
 While Agranoff has never taken a business class, he learned a lot by buying items at garage sales and selling them on eBay -- a pursuit he began when he was eight. 
  
 "So really, I've been learning how to do this for a while," said Agranoff. "Especially today, with all the information available on the internet, you can't be too young to learn how to be an entrepreneur." |||||
Student:
Brennan Agranoff is the founder and CEO of a custom sock business that receives about 100 new orders per day—and he's just 17. Agranoff first came up with the idea for HoopSwagg when he was at a high school basketball game at age 13 and noticed all the boring athletic socks players were wearing; the company makes socks and other products, including shoelaces and arm sleeves, for basketball and other sports. Designs range from fairly standard (digital camo) to pretty out-there (unicorns farting rainbows). "My ideas, they're either really random or based on what is happening right now," the Oregon high school junior, who has come up with more than 500 designs so far, tells KATU. The company's annual sales are more than $1 million, CNN Money reports. Agranoff has a number of part-time employees, and his mom works for the business full-time. One of his most popular designs involves pictures of the goats his family owns; Agranoff still has normal family chores, including feeding those goats, as well as his schoolwork. None of that stops him from working around 5 to 6 hours a day, he says. He taught himself how to code and do graphic design, and his parents were the first investors in his business, which he now runs from a 1,500-square-foot building on his family's property. Last week, HoopSwagg announced that it had purchased another custom athletic apparel company, its first acquisition. Agranoff plans to go to college eventually, but first he will work for his company full-time after graduating from high school six months early; he'd like to sell his products in brick-and-mortar stores. A pair of socks will run you $14.99. Agranoff hopes to someday allow customers to come up with their own designs. (This teen's business involves naming Chinese babies.)
