IPath
IPath footwear was originally founded in 1999 in San Francisco by Brian Krauss and Matt Field with the mission of crafting high quality skate shoes with a low environmental impact. With the slogan "Follow Your Path", a team of eclectic characters including Matt Field, Kenny Reed, Karl Watson, Matt Rodriguez and Nate Jones, iconic shoes such as the Grasshopper, Cricket and Cats and heavy use of hemp, IPath conjured a mystical irie vibe that proved very popular in the early 2000s. In 2007 Timberland acquired ownership of IPath and the brand seemed to lose that vibe and by 2013 it was finished.
Now IPath is being brought back after the original owner Brian Krauss and Kenny Reed managed to get their hands on the trademark and we are once again getting the opportunity to stock these classic skate shoes. With a team consisting of Fred Gall, Ben Raybourn, Myles Willard, Josh Wilson, Evan Smith, Reese Barton, Adelmo Jr. and Soy Panday and new footwear designs in the works we are looking forward to seeing what is to come from IPath.
