My name is Erick Ikeda, born and made in Los Angeles.

I was a kid that was always infatuated with hoops, sneakers,

graffiti and cooking.The game of basketball taught me lessons and skills that I still hold firmly to this day; communication, teamwork and grit. As a little spud as a 9 yr old, watching the “dream team”

in the ‘92 olympics, planted the seed of wanting to become a footwear designer.

​

The thought of helping an athlete through design is where my passions lives and burns. It’s where industrial, graphic, apparel and fashion design all collide.

 

and that's exactly where I want to be.

​

Currently living in Beaverton, Oregon and designing for Nike.
