Brand Tone

approachable, authentic, and energetic. It's also community-focused and savvy regarding sneaker culture

Brand Values

• •Authenticity
• •Community
• •Fairness & Value
• •Passion for Sneaker Culture
• •Entrepreneurial Spirit & Hustle

Best Practices

• •Stay True to NYC Roots: Incorporate New York slang (authentically), landmarks, and a bit of that 'NYC hustle' energy in the language. This resonates with their origin story and name.
• •Prioritize Authenticity in Language: Just as they verify sneakers, their communication should be direct, honest, and transparent. Avoid overly corporate jargon. Use clear, confident statements about their products and services.
• •Engage the Community: Use inclusive language ('y'all,' 'we gotchu'). Feature user-generated content where appropriate. Ask questions and respond to comments to foster a two-way conversation, mirroring their TikTok engagement.
• •Keep it Energetic and Fresh: Especially on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, use dynamic language, relevant emojis, and stay updated with current trends in sneaker culture lingo.
• •Balance Hype with Value: While showcasing hyped releases, also emphasize the 'deals' and 'value' aspects, particularly for used items, aligning with their 'for the people' ethos. Ensure copy reflects fair pricing and accessibility.
