Karmaloop
Website | Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin
Karmaloop is the leading online retailer in cutting edge fashion and a one-stop shop for the verge culture. In a world dominated by cookie-cutter clones the evil forces of McFashion spread it’s awful agenda throughout the universe.
The masses lived in a dark and bland world of predictability and boredom. The culture had been contaminated and Individual style was nonexistent.
This was not to stand in the year of our ‘Loop 2000, a beacon of hope flashed from the Northeast guided by an intrepid entrepreneur and his rebel alliance of culturists who rose to battle the evil forces of McFashion. They set out to create a lifestyle brand…something that was more than just an e-commerce site but also a community of style and a full-fledged media powerhouse! The leader who emerged was Greg Selkoe and his rebel army was to be known throughout the universes as Karmaloop.
And with your help as well as that from reinforcements worldwide over the past decade, the rebels have beat back the clones and McFashion’s empire has been crumbling under the weight of individuality ever since! It started, like many revolutions, in the underground. A basement to be more specific – Greg’s parents basement to be exact.
While hundreds upon thousands of dot.com ventures began to disintegrate, Karmaloop ignored doubts, attacks and negativity (“The Internet?! Ha! You’ll never make money off the Internet!”) after that moving operations to a dilapidated piano factory run by a lunatic landlord… and subsequently chasing out crackheads busting in the office, grinding for low or no money while working other “day jobs,” dealing with floods, theft, and fraudsters, engaging in drinking binges and making numerous trips to New York on the Fung Wah Bus aka “the Chicken Run”.
All of it to get the gear you really wanted into your closet and concrete culture into your mind. Yet through it all Karmaloop never lost faith for one good reason…cause you had their back.

For starters, it puts a real strain on everyday footwear. Materials tear, feet slip, and water leaks everywhere.
They needed a more rugged and reliable pair of sneakers. So, in 2012, they set about making them.
