OUR STORY

PORTRAIT
The project of two childhood friends
Everything started in 2016, when Ronan was ending a two year contract working for a non-profit organization in Vietnam, and Kévin was just back from a trip in Mexico…

The idea to create social sneakers emerges!

After few months in Nantes, Ronan decided to go back to Vietnam to start N’go.

End of April, 2017, we launch on Kisskissbankbank our crowdfunding campaign to finance our first shoe production: In just 10 days, our 200 pre-order objective was reached and after 40 days of campaign, it was more than 300 pairs of N’go shipped all over the world.
