First Step Anime Apparel

Working on a few things for our first ever booth at Collect-A-Con with

Cameron twisted my arm, so I'm pulling double design shifts to try create some really cool things.

These are going to be screen printed and paired up to create some art you can put in your game room.

Starting today, First Step Apparel will be slowing closing shop. This is a difficult decision, but its time.

Since 2021, we've sold 1000s of shirts & written nearly as many thank you cards to 100s of people.

We've sponsored events, done give aways, set up booths and learned what being a brand truly means.

Over the last year we ran into issues that crushed growth. These issues fall on myself as an owner and my lack of ability.

While we haven't been around a long time, I can say from the bottom of my heart that each person who has supported us in anyway has left their mark on us.

When I see someone wearing one of our shirts, it brings a smile to my face.

People have asked me why we started First Step.

The answer was always ALWAYS simple.

To make one SINGLE person smile and build a future we could be proud of .

There is pride knowing that both of these have come true, but more importantly, there's something else:

Without YOUR support, First Step wouldn't have lasted past our first admittedly terrible first shirt.

Without YOUR support, Cydney and I wouldn't have traveled through the US to make friends everywhere.

Your support has put First Step around the world, across the States and gave courage to people taking their first step into the world of health and fitness.

However, this isn't our death rattle. Not by a long shot.

We are sponsoring one more event, Rising Tide, that is being put on by our close friends

We're wanting to leave our mark by giving an additional dollar per sale from here until we are out of stock so the competitors can go for one of the biggest prizes to happen in New Jersey powerlifting.

For the next two weeks, get 40% off everything and help us put one last set of smiles on competitors faces.

And if you feel inclined, go follow our new project where were focusing on art prints... but some older designs may occasionally pop up.

It's cold out, take these!

Or use code: Coldput at checkout and get 15% off.

Man, wouldn't it be crazy if we finally restocked this design for Black Friday?

Yeah, yeah it would be crazy, wouldn't it?

Finishing the month strong!
