When this website was first getting started, I received a lot of skepticism and negative feedback coming from a lot of people I showed it to. The shirt designs were ‘okay’ but the web design was unstable, and way too green. We have come a long way since then, and you may be tempted to look at us as ‘just another Parkour Clothing Brand’. If you’re an owner of one of the other clothing brands, you may look at us with disgust. Pointing out all of our flaws and tiny mistakes on anything.
We are not here to take over the industry. Our mission is to inspire, entertain, and educate Traceurs around the world any way we can. This may include DVDs, stickers, posters, and pants. I shop around on the internet for Parkour/Tricking clothing and I find the same basic stores. Copy-Paste stores that were set up by some other company, and the shirts aren’t shipped by the owner of the site, someone else does it for them. That’s not a company, guys, that’s what I like to call a CafePress store. People with no ambition that just want to make a couple extra bucks along side their current job make those sites. I’m not trashing any other site like American Parkour, or Take Flight Apparel. I really respect those guys. They are companies who are actually aiming to make a difference in the Parkour Community. With their well thought our blog posts and innovative, and creative shirt designs. I am especially going to point out Take Flight Apparel’s newest white & orange shirt. That is one creative looking shirt. It’s something you wouldn’t normally see when you think about Parkour clothing.
We want to be the clothing company that tries something different than everyone else. We never plan to take the cheap way out. Our main goal here is quality, not how much money we make. The only reason our shirts can be up to $20.00 is because it costs a lot of money to buy and print on your own material. These are the very best shirts we could find, and we plan to do that for anything we sell.
In conclusion, our place in the Parkour/Tricking community isn’t as just another store. It’s about giving everyone another option. Something way different than what you’re used to. Our shirts are not mass produced. Each one is taken care of and looked at individually, to achieve a level of quality not previously matched.
This was just an introduction to our mission as a clothing company. I hope this has given you a little bit more insight into what we are, and plan to be as a business.
