👟 It's not about the votes...

Welcome to the SneakHERhood.

🗣 It’s about LEGACY.

^IRL how we feel about what we’re building for our community. YOU.

✨ To change the story, you have to change the storytellers.

We have to run this back and say a huge THANK YOU. So many of you have been loud and proud about our most recent adventure - SHOP CNK. We deeply appreciate all the love, comments, shares and encouraging words.🤎

This is a special edition of our CNK newsletter and our rallying cry. We couldn’t do any of this without ALL of you. Words can’t describe our gratitude, but we’re going to try so keep on scrolling.

 In this newsletter, you can find the following:

 🪴 Our mission and humble beginnings.

🗳 We NEED your help, here’s how!

 🤎 All love, straight from our soles.

🌱 Stay rooted.

Some of you may know our story. ICYMI, we were never the cool girls growing up, but sneakers have always been our conversation starter. To that end, our mission for CNK Daily has stayed rooted in representation and connection through experiences. Now, we are translating that ethos into a retail experience - SHOP CNK.

SHOP CNK will be the FIRST Black-woman-owned women’s retail sneaker boutique in the U.S. with our flagship location right in the heart of Dallas, Texas. We recently traveled to Austin, Texas to participate in the Black Girl Ventures Pitch Competition. Plot twist: we won the audience vote last Thursday night!

Now it’s time for the FINAL round of the competition and we NEED YOUR VOTES!

^Audience Vote: DID THAT! 👏🏽

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey of reinventing sneaker retail. While our sneakHER story resonated with so many last week, we have until May 30th (read: in a couple of days) to secure the grand prize.
