Transcript
Slapping a character on a tier shirt is low status and the Soul Tier knows it. Back in 2013, four friends were done with their nine two fives and tired of wearing unofficial rip offs. So they did something no one else was doing, launched the Soul Store. After facing multiple challenges, they got official licenses from Marvel, Star Wars, DC, and more. The first collections were completely community driven. They were picked by fans, the quotes, the characters, and even the designs. From anime drops to nineties cartoons no create collabs, they match every fandom vibe. Now they're doing sneakers, jackets, backpacks, and even kids wear. They are in full wardrobe mode. I actually visited one of the offline stores in Bangalore, and it's like walking into a fandom universe. They have now blended global fandom with Indian pop culture. Oh, and a fun fact, Harjit Pandya is an investor. Glad they actually designed their stuff instead of copy pasting. It feels fresh and original.
