OUR
STORY
Hey, kicksters! We're Ariel (Ari) and Adam, and we are sneakerheads..:) We started KBA² with the help of our parents who wanted us to learn about business and entrepreneurship through art, design and creativity, focusing on the things we love. When our parents asked us what product we want to create, we both replied immediately: "SNEAKERS". That was the start of our journey. Designing kicks, drawing, coloring, experimenting with different materials, and always thinking of what we and our friends would love to wear is what has made this process fun and challenging. How awesome is it to wear sneakers that are comfortable and stylish and that your parents like too because they provide good support for your feet, and make you feel good!
Our design ideas come from everyday things that we love: things that we see on the streets of New York, places we visit, movies and shows we watch, books we read, games we like to play, and just about everything we see and experience.
KBA² allows us to share our ideas, dreams, and the things that we love and enthuse us, with all kids. We wish to share this inspiration and encourage all kids to find things they love and are inspired by. We created KBA2 as a place for all of us to share ideas, engage in a conversation, and inspire one another to go forth and follow our dreams. #insperationiseverywhere

Giving back and helping others is the greatest superpower that we all possess. In addition to motivating kids to get involved and find their inner-powers, another driving force behind KBA² is helping families fight childhood cancer. We donate a percent of all sales to organizations that assist families impacted by childhood cancer. Creating and selling kicks gives us the opportunity to support this cause. As we grow, we hope to expand our assistance to families to help improve their lives. Your support lets us give to others, and for that we want to thank you.
