About KarlsKicks®
KarlsKicks® is a Danish sneaker brand founded in 2015 in Copenhagen by Karl Faurholt. Before KarlsKicks®, Karl would restore his own beat-up sneakers. When he posted the first result on social media, the positive energy and response were overwhelming, and that inspired him to start his own business. The goal was to think sustainably and creatively by transforming old, worn-out sneakers into fresh, unique, and personalized ones. That vision still guides us today.
It started small with simple jobs on heavily worn sneakers, but KarlsKicks® eventually became a well-known brand in Denmark.
Later, Karl began selling high-end sneakers and painting unique custom designs on models like the Adidas Yeezy 350 and Adidas Ultra Boost.
Karl received great attention, resulting in articles in newspapers and magazines, including the popular @Euroman and @Børsen.
In 2018, KarlsKicks® opened a physical basement shop in the heart of Copenhagen, where everything from the most hyped high-end sneakers to some of Europe’s most spectacular custom pairs are sold – either new or used, tailored, deadstock (DS), or originals (OG).
Today, KarlsKicks® is a supplier of leading products from Saphir®, KAPS®, Iwata®, SneakerFreaker®, Angelus®, and Molotow®.
In 2021, we took over the businesses skorens.dk and CleanSneaks, with the latter now offering an extended cleaning service with drop-off locations nationwide.
In 2023, we moved to the corner of Studiestræde and Lars Bjørnsstræde where we opened a new store under the name Copenhagen Sneaker Concept Store.
