We are 1587.
We are Asian.
We are American.
We are Asian American.
Unapologetically.

With decades of experience working for some of the world’s biggest footwear brands under his belt, our founder, Adam King, has heard the same sentence over and over again: “We don’t need to pay attention to the Asian American community – they’re followers and are going to buy the products we market to other communities.”
This needs to change.

With 1587, we’re ready to shine the spotlight on our stories and demonstrate to the world the extraordinary breadth of our passions and achievements...and be unapologetically us.

MEET OUR TEAM

ADAM KING

Founder

No more hiding. Asian American culture is amazing and deserves to be celebrated loudly, proudly and unapologetically.

Jose Vargas

Co-Founder

Contrary to popular belief, Asians are the fastest-growing immigrant and racial group in America. We were here 33 years before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, and we're not going anywhere. Let's make our presence known.

SAM HYUN

Co-Founder

It’s an honor to be a Co-founder of 1587 because we are unapologetically Asian American. Because we’re more than just a brand, we’re a movement. We’re taking back control of our story and with each step, being unapologetically ourselves. It’s our time. So join us as we build this movement together.
