ABOUT US

I grew up in the shadow of cool—watching my uncles, Mickey and Skippy, glide through the 70s with pure, unapologetic swagger. That decade wasn’t just a moment—it was a whole mood. From their dashikis to their Converses, from their handmade bongs to their deep love for vinyl grooves, they embodied freedom, funk, and fearless self-expression.
They moved through life with style and soul.
That energy stuck with me. It lives in every design I create, every sneaker drop I imagine. FUNK AND SOLE is more than a brand—it’s a tribute to that era and the bold, funky legends who raised me. It's for the misfits, the music heads, the makers, and the ones who still believe cool isn't something you buy—it's something you are.
So lace up. Turn the volume up.
And step into the fire.
