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

As a kid, I was captivated by hoops, sneakers, graffiti, and cooking. Basketball taught me lessons I still carry today—communication, teamwork, and grit. At nine years old, watching the “Dream Team” compete in the 1992 Olympics planted the seed that would grow into my passion for footwear design.

​

The idea of helping athletes perform and express themselves through design is where my passion lives. It’s the intersection where industrial design, graphics, apparel, and fashion collide.

​

And that’s exactly where I want to be.
