Hey there,
You can call us “J” and “K”. We’re not MI6 or Men in Black. We’re just us – you know, a couple who has had a few adventures, been together awhile, and who remembers when the 80’s were actually cool. We think that makes us part of the O.G. generation - the one that still appreciates good old-fashioned hard work and values traditions. But don't let that fool you; we might seem “old school”, but we’ve picked up a few tricks from the kids along the way; he’s shifting gears and she’s a technology, art, and well, an overall nerd. We hail from the days where life seemed to be simpler; umm… like the 70’s and 80’s.
You could say we’ve modernized a little too; call us modern rednecks – we're into camping, ATV’s, and motorcycles; We like getting muddy in the morning on quads, then feeling the wind in the afternoon on the bikes. We’re nature-curious and love to explore the great outdoors. Both of us hail from small towns, but we're not your average couple; we pride ourselves on being the "outside the crate thinkers" who try to break free from the norm.
Our story really began with a flash of inspiration while we were driving down an old highway; watching for wildlife, singing along to the radio, and dreaming of things we “should” do, but were only possible if we won the lottery. J is horrible with directions and navigation and called it “the O.G.” road. K, as the navigator, laughed and corrected him… and like a blinding flash from one of those movies, inspiration struck and over the hours of driving we had left to do, she sketched and created an idea for a collection.
At NorthernKR8, we're on a mission to share our take on living the Northern life and the special attitude that comes with it. We're all about soaking up the fresh air, exploring wild and untamed ideas, and breaking free from the norm to create a style that truly stands out, or not; we like blending in too. So, why not join us in stepping "inside the KR8"? Come shop with us, and dive into a style that just is what it is.
