Here at Shop4 Martial Arts, we love everything fitness and gym, from the training right down to the clothing and equipment that helps us achieve our goals and pursue our hobbies.<\/p>\n

We love getting to know the brands who cater for our needs and so I was eager to chat with Jordan, co-owner of Kapow Meggings<\/strong><\/a>, a striking male leggings brand catering to the fitness, sport and fashion market.<\/p>\n

Hi Jordan! Can you tell us a bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Australian born, but have spent the last 10 years in the UK before moving to Romania to start up Kapow Meggings. Compared to London, Bucharest is a much more affordable place to maintain a pretty sweet lifestyle whilst funding an e-commerce business.  My background is in advertising & marketing, but I\u2019ve found enough time to stay active with cricket (hey, I\u2019m Australian), football, yoga, squash and strength & gymnastics training. I also have a Guinness World record in Ukelele playing.<\/p>\n

What inspired you to start Kapow Meggings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why do high performance athletes & superheros \u2013 the most masculine and confident guys on the planet (and other galaxies) – wear men\u2019s leggings, but they\u2019re still seen as a feminine item?<\/p>\n

I started Kapow to redefine the myopic views around masculinity; to incite controversy and open a wider conversation around the barriers and limitations of what it means to be a man in the world today.<\/p>\n

 
\nHow long have Kapow been in existence and where did it start out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been around for about 2 years, but the first year was a \u2018side-business\u2019. Things have really kicked off in 2016 as the market is starting to explode.<\/p>\n

 
\nWhat do you think sets you apart from other brands out there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t many businesses that sell men\u2019s leggings. Those in the high performance sector generally sell a range of dull colours and designs. We offer both impeccable athletic capability in a range of cracking designs & colour.<\/p>\n

 
\nWho are your meggings aimed at?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our customers are mostly guys, although we do get quite a few girlfriends buying for their partners\u2026 and in some cases themselves! People use them for all sorts of occasions \u2013 marathons, gym training, yoga, and even to music festivals<\/p>\n
