About Us
I grew up in the Cleveland area and spent my whole life there. Going to sporting events or watching them on TV was a regular part of our household. And if you didn’t like it? Too bad. We were a sports family, and that wasn’t going to change. It was just my mom, dad, sister, and me, and I was the least sporty of us all. I was more of a creative—I loved arts and crafts and photography. When I went to games, I’d often find myself observing the beauty in everything around me, (especially the cotton candy man).
As I got older, I started to appreciate sports more, but what really stood out to me was the beauty of the camaraderie among Cleveland sports fans and Clevelanders in general. We share an unspoken bond that I absolutely love, something I’ve never experienced anywhere else. No matter where life takes me, Cleveland will always be home.
The name and logo of CLEATiONS represent more than just a simple combination of Cleveland and creations. Have you ever heard the saying, “There’s no ‘I’ in team”? That’s something we truly believe here at CLEATiONS, which is why you’ll notice the “I” in our name is lowercase. We believe in putting others first and always doing the right thing. The yin-yang shape in our logo symbolizes balance, something that’s essential not only in design, but in life as well. We believe in living a balanced life and striving for balance in everything we do.
