ARKK Copenhagen was born on a summer night in 2014, when two lifelong friends Thomas Refdahl and Kasper Høj Rasmussen (fuelled by a few gin and tonics), decided to go all in on a big idea—to create a sneaker that would be comfortable, functional and designed in a way that embodied the Scandinavian simplistic tradition for design. 18 months (and a lot of sleepless nights) later, the first ARKK sneaker—the Raven—debuted and then promptly sold out. Since then, we’ve never looked back.
Like fashion, art, and architecture, sneaker design is never finished. Which is why we’re passionate about the process of design, innovation, and the comfort of our products. With every new sneaker design and with every new collection, we’re learning, growing, and experimenting. In the spirit of the great Scandinavian designers who came before us, we’re inspired each and every day by the question, ‘what if?’ You could say we’re obsessed. You wouldn’t be wrong. While the Copenhagen-based brand continues to focus, first and foremost, on sneaker design and innovation, this new apparel line allows customers to experience ARKK quality, aesthetics, and detailing from head to toe. Speaking of details, each item of apparel features a small embroidered logo of ARKK’s original sneaker—the Raven—as a nod to the brand’s origins and core DNA. "Apparel is something that we have wanted to create for years, ever since the beginning actually,” says ARKK co-founder and creative director Kasper Høj Rasmussen, “but for us, the focus for the past four years has been on sneakers.” With regards to the timing of this new product launch, ARKK CEO and co-founder Thomas Refdahl explains, “our customers and retailers have been asking about apparel for years, but we feel that, with the sneakers we’re releasing and the growth we’re experiencing, now is finally the right time.” Wholesale International Sales Manager Peter Ounce Smidt E: ps@arkkcopenhagen.com P: +45 6015 6230 Photo credit: ARKK Copenhagen
