Footwear worth keeping
ARKK Copenhagen is a Danish sneaker brand founded in 2014. Ten years on, we're still designing and engineering every product in-house from start to finish - because we think that's the only way to get it right.
Designed and engineered in Copenhagen, every ARKK product is developed in-house from concept to construction.
When it all started
ARKK Copenhagen began with a simple question: why wasn’t there a sneaker brand that brought together modern streetwear and clean Nordic design?
In early 2014, lifelong friends Kasper Høj Rasmussen and Thomas Refdahl set out to find the answer. Their idea was to rethink the sneaker from the ground up — stripping it back, questioning every element, and exploring what it could become.
The result was a new kind of everyday sneaker: clean in silhouette, considered in every detail, and shaped by Nordic-inspired colours. A sneaker designed to go anywhere and do anything, made for the many sides of modern urban life.
That idea became ARKK Copenhagen.
