History
The brand was founded by Patrik Lakso Svensk and Henrik Standerth, who met in their early twenties at a trade fair while each running their own clothing and shoe agency. They created Jim Rickey to fill a gap they saw between sports sneakers and high-end sneakers.

Distribution
Jim Rickey sells through its own online store with international shipping and supports retail partners through a dedicated wholesale B2B portal.
Why it matters
