ARKK Copenhagen was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark, in early 2014 by two lifelong friends, Kasper Høj Rasmussen and Thomas Refdahl. The brand's first sneaker, the Raven, launched at SEEK Berlin in July 2015 and sold out within two weeks.
Every ARKK sneaker is designed in-house by our team of designers and engineers in Copenhagen — from the sole unit to the lace tips — with each style going through roughly 18 months of research, design development, and materials testing before it launches.
