RIPNDIP SKATEBOARDS THE BRAND STORY

The RipnDip brand first appeared in skateparks in Ohio, USA, back in 2006, when a group of skaters started writing Ripndip everywhere. Boards, T-shirts, tags, and graffiti.

It quickly became a well-defined slogan at a local level. Ripndip's philosophy has always promoted self-esteem and not giving a damn about the system. A bit like its symbol, the cat. An independent, grumpy, and self-sufficient animal.

After the first few years of trials, names and sketches, Ryan's hand drew the legendary cat 'Nermal', which is the symbol and inspiration for all the collections to come from the well-known American brand. In 2009, Ryan Connor officially founded RipnDip skateboard company. And already in 2009, he began producing boards and clothing and taking them to skateparks. Success was immediate because Connor's designs were extremely original and beautiful, but above all unique.

The first productions were strictly handmade, piece by piece, by Connor in his garage. After buying a printing machine, the team immediately got to work and the first 100% original creations came to life. The name RIPNDIP and the cat “Nermal” began to conquer the world with their originality.

The skaters on the team and those who collaborated with Connor were enthusiastic, and after a short time they moved their headquarters from Ohio to Los Angeles, California.

RIPNDIP FROM OHIO TO CALIFORNIA

In California, the brand began its rise and started designing increasingly original and unusual clothing lines with the help of designer Jay Lamperle, an illustrator based in New York City. With his graphics, the cat “Nermal” was enriched with friends and details drawn in a unique and striking style.

After settling in Los Angeles, the Ripndip team mainly produced skateboards, all made in the USA. Since their launch, RipnDip boards have always been made from superior quality maple.

After all, it's easy to understand and test the quality of a Ripndip board. The clothing is no less impressive, having achieved a high standard year after year while keeping prices low and accessible for skaters. Remember, Ripndip was created by skaters for skaters.

Today, Connor's brand is sold on all four continents and has more than 1,000 stores that buy their products every season. Most Ripndip products are printed in Los Angeles. As with the boards, the brand strives to provide the highest possible quality. The garments are cut in China to keep prices affordable for skaters.

Even though the brand has become famous, it never forgets its origins or why it was created. The support of skaters has been fundamental for Ryan and Connor since the brand's inception.

Clothing prices range from €35 for a T-shirt to around €75 for a hoodie. These are fair prices for an exclusive brand like Ripndip.

TOP FASHION BRAND SOLD WORLDWIDE

Today, Ripndip's turnover is very high and the brand is establishing itself everywhere with its single stores in fashion hotspots around the world. This is after years spent in a garage producing clothing. After being kicked out of skate camps where he sold T-shirts for $10, Connor can now afford to open flagship stores in New York alongside giants such as Supreme, Bape, and Diamond Supply Co.

Ripndip's success has been swift and rapid, thanks in part to the marketing developed by the team. Above all, they do not produce more than what is ordered by their ever-growing customer base. This technique has allowed them to never have a full warehouse and never lose a penny along the way.

Connor has always added an extra touch of originality to his designs. Ripndip was not to be imitated. And so it has been, the brand is now absolutely unique. The cat 'Lord Nermal' is famous all over the world and is destined to remain so for a long time to come.

A FASHION BRAND BUT STILL 100% SKATEBOARDING

Connor remains the sole manager of his brand. They have never accepted big multinational companies buying the brand. Unlike other famous brands, Ripndip is still an original concept developed by skaters for skaters and not by multinational companies that pay skaters to design or skate.

Connor never gave up and always believed in his brand marketing strategy. He always invested wisely in original ideas, such as offering free tattoos of the cat Nermal. This was an extraordinary idea, as was the organization of parties and customized vehicles featuring the cat.

Lord Nermal has gone viral and has millions of fans all over the world! If you go skateboarding, remember that the boards are scary. They have incredible pop with totally new school shapes and concaves. Perfect, high-performance skateboard decks.

In short, Ripndip is now a cult brand, and if you're a cat lover, you can't not buy a Ripndip item. If you want to stay up to date on Ripndip products, check out their Instagram page.
