Matano
Fairly made. Fairly played. // Fair Trade sports apparel brand, fueling a change in sports culture. // Kickstarter campaign coming soon! I love to play sports.
Ever since I was little kid, my brothers and I have found a way to play. From making up a game for 2-base baseball from corner-to-corner in the hallway on a rainy day, to perfecting the art of "dunk ball" in the driveway. My experience with sports is empowerment, brothership (it's totally a word), inclusion, and just plain having fun. But as I grew up, I realized -- that's not everyone's experienc

If anyone knows Tracy McGrady, let him know we might need his help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZQ0gvaI0ko
With 29% funded and only 5 days left in our campaign, making our funding goal will be a long shot.
But Tracy McGrady likes long shots. Especially when he's fouled by Tim Duncan on the way down. Check out one of the greatest comebacks in NBA history, led by T-Mac himself.

The Greatest Comeback 13 points in 33 seconds I believe this is one of the greatest comeback in NBA history by ONE single person. On 9th of December 2004, Tracy McGrady probably had his best game ever. S...

Matano: Fair Trade Sports Apparel for the Everyday Athlete The World's First Fair Trade Sports Apparel. Our clothes are made fair because sports are meant to be fair.
The True Cost has been one of the most inspirational forces for us as we've created Matano... which is why we've decided to offer a free screening of The True Cost documentary for everyone tomorrow night!
Right after our collaborative event in District Marketplace, PAC-MATANO, (you should come to that first), we will be showing The True Cost a few blocks away!
The True Cost is an eye-opening documentary about the intense human rights issues within the clothing industry. It was incredibly inspiring for us as we created Matano, and we are excited to share this movie with anyone who is interested!
It's totally free, BYOB, BYOSnacks, and open invites all around.
We're starting the movie right after Pac-Matano, around 9:45-10PM tomorrow night, at the -- EXCLUSIVE -- offices in 334 N. Topeka St. ... in downtown Wichita.
Invite some friends, come on out, and enjoy a great doc!

"I met the founders of Matano via Instagram where we traded thoughts about one of my recent blog posts. I came to learn more about their new start-up and passion for sports apparel that is ethically made. Since this whole fair-trade world was becoming something of a newer discovery for myself, I was encouraged to see other people who didnāt see social responsibility as an option.
It was just a way they desired to live life. And so they decided to bring other people along.
Thatās really all we do. We have values, they turn into passions, and, as the opportunity comes up, it partners with something tangible.
So itās not just sports clothing.
Itās about free people.
And sports clothing is simply the vehicle.
Back them on Kickstarter, buy one of their items, and or just follow their business. I think we all need active initiators around us who practice and risk for a belief that is way bigger than themselves."
Wow. Thank you Angela for your kind words in this impactful article on slavery in the business world. Please go read this full article. Angela's passion and drive for making a change will astound you.
Eyes wide open and totally blind: what do we do when we wear human slavery? āI couldnāt find my son.ā The father, crouched down and half-sitting in what looked like an incredibly uncomfortable position, spoke in a long-burning anguish. 3 years earlier he ā¦
