Last Thursday, we gathered in London to celebrate the launch of our crowdfunding campaign and, just as importantly, the relaunch of KLEKT UK. The event was hosted in Soho by our friends at Trading Desk.
Once the party was in full swing, our original co-founder Heiko Lanzke and new CEO Mark Dowds took centre stage. The two paid tribute to KLEKT’s story as Europe’s original marketplace for authentic sneakers and streetwear.
Alongside a video celebrating the launch of our massive crowdfunding campaign, Mark then announced that KLEKT has now reestablished itself in the UK, thanks to our acquisition by RESPONSIBLE. This means our UK community can now take full advantage of our marketplace, free of any unnecessary shipping fees.
Next up, following all the announcements and milestones, we present the evening’s raffle. Five hyped pairs were up for grabs, including some Nike Minds and a pair of Travis Scott Lows. Congrats to all the winners.
We’d like to wrap up this recap with a special shout-out to Trading Desk for hosting, as well as Jubel Beer and Ghost Labs for the drinks. And of course, we’d like to thank everyone in the community who attended and made the event something really special. It's good to be back.
Check out the rest of the photos from the event below, and be sure to check out our campaign on Republic Europe if you haven't already.
