For the love of comics and sneakers
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/07/2016
» Sneakers can be a form of self-expression and an outlet for creativity. That's what Kraftka, a sneakers brand with a cool concept, is about. Chanasinj "Sunny" Sachdev, Kraftka's co-founder and owner, puts a new spin on footwear by offering a platform for sneakers enthusiasts to be both creators and collectors. We first knew Sunny as a co-creator of American-style comic books The Roach but he has also been the creative mind behind many projects. Guru chats with Sunny, a comic book geek and video gamer at heart, after he came back from giving a talk on his brand at Discovery Asia's Digital Disruption Week in Singapore last week. He told us about his entrepreneurial journey, what Kraftka's new pop-up shop has in store for sneakers enthusiasts, and more.

We have decided to help you diversify your shopping experience with our pick of indie markets. We can’t be held responsible if you run out of cash before the end of the month, though.
