The Origin of 1587
1587 is more than a number — it marks the first documented arrival of Asians in America and serves as the foundation for our brand’s identity. As the first sneaker brand in the U.S. that is Asian American-owned, designed, and inspired, we honor that historic moment by creating footwear that celebrates culture, courage, and individuality. Our mission is to empower Asian Americans to embrace their identity without compromise — blending bold design with meaningful storytelling to redefine what it means to be seen, heard, and represented in streetwear.
