Who we are

At the age of 34 our founder, Nik, almost died of a massive blood clot. A year later, he got cancer. So much for being a normal, healthy, young guy.

With good reason, he embarked on journey to focus on health and wellness. Of course, there were the big sweeping changes that came along with diet and exercise, but he spent more and more time thinking about the small, easy changes he could make daily to improve his well-being.

His attention eventually focused on his clothing. Nik noticed that many of the clothes in his closet were made of materials that contained harmful chemicals like PFAs, Pthalates, and microplastics that have been linked to cancer, endocrine system issues, and damaged fertility.

He thought if he was going to be putting clothes on every day anyway, there had to be clothing that wasn’t filled with substances that were bad for him, but he couldn’t find any on the market. So he decided to make his own.

With that, Project Athletica was born.
