GETTING INVOLVED
HOW YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE
MEET OUR FOUNDER
Weslee Lewis, the founder of our company, shares a common tale many can relate to. Raised in the heart of the Inland Empire, he developed a deep affection for sports and footwear from a young age. Like many, his family had budgetary constraints which made buying a new pair of shoes a luxury, not a regular occurrence.
This made each pair of shoes he owned all the more precious. He recalls, "In 2013, a pair of Jordan Bred 4's were passed down to me from my cousin. They were a size too big, but I doubled up on socks and strutted around, feeling like I was flyest in those Bred 4's, despite their worn-out condition." This event sparked a fire in Weslee, pushing him to amass his own collection of kicks.
