One Brooklyn Artist Spreads Love One Timberland At A Time
by 
If there’s one thing anyone knows about our borough, it’s our fashion (and music legends, of course).
Brooklyn’s inhabitancy of cultures, music and art, makes the borough a haven for diversity in style. Whether it’s bohemian, afro-centric or urban, you name it and we’ve got it! It’s not all “worn russet brown leather jackets, opened lumberjack button-ups accompanied by dingy screen tees, skinny distressed denim and man buns” as gentrification will allow you to believe. The authenticity reigns through modernized style with a major influence from the rise in entrepreneurship and social media presence. There are endless boutiques, hat and t-shirt start-ups, sneaker resellers and your occasional customizer but K2Soles brings that Brooklyn flavor that makes one question what they’re really bringing to the table.
Kori, or K2Soles, is a 25-year-old Brooklyn artist with a style that won’t be denied. “It was a dare honestly,” when asked how K2Soles originated. A friend of his had a pair of old sneakers he was ready to throw away, until K2 contested, “‘Nah, we can probably clean those,’ because I’ve been watching YouTube videos. So I cleaned them up and posted it on Instagram.” A harmless dare and Instagram became the fertilizer that birthed K2Soles – a walking brand for footwear (yes, all footwear including your toddler’s) restorations and customizations, which is now expanding to car (leather including steering wheels and door panels) and home interior painting.

With only two years in the market and approaching one full year as a sole proprietor, he has 16.5k followers on Instagram and the eye of figures in the hip-hop industry, including AraabMuzik, DeJ Loaf, Yo Gotti, and recent addition to the Brooklyn family, Swizz Beatz. The magnet for such a following is the powerhouse of customized Timberland boots. Now, there’s nothing like a great pair of Tim’s for the fall, but the addition of vibrant colors applied with skill and precision gives pumpkin spiced lattes a run for their money. “#MoneyGreen” and “#RedStuy” are his best sellers in the Timberland collection, all trademarked with his #NoGoldNoGo gold trimming. This Brooklyn based brand started with local drop-offs expanding to national shipments and now, Canada. “Drake, what’s up?” Sent with sincere regards.
Hosting and attending art gallery events, and doing live demonstrations with Crep, a sneaker cleaner company, at Sneaker Con, there’s no telling where he’ll go. With a major support system from his Brooklyn family and faithful clients in New York, Baltimore and LA, the sky is the limit – if you want to put a cap on success.
