MISSION: VISION
We want to reintroduce large-scale sneaker manufacturing to the cities and towns in the United States with the infrastructure necessary to support large American brands.
Local production for local distribution impacts people & planet positively.

We will educate our employees with the goal that they can develop into management, potential franchise owners or integral employees of the brands they’ll support.
