About AokLok
Redefining streetwear culture for the next generation
Our Story
I'm Cg — the founder of AokLok®. I dropped out of college not because I failed, but because I refused to follow a formula that didn't fit.
AokLok® started when I realized the streetwear game was broken. Brands were gatekeeping creativity, and the people with the most style were the ones getting left out. So I did the opposite.
I started sourcing blanks, building a factory network, working with underground designers, and cutting out all the middlemen. I didn't want to create "just another brand." I wanted to build the system behind the brands you actually want to wear.
