Our Story
From the Court to the Streets – Built by Ballers, for Ballers
Basketball isn't just a game. It's a lifestyle. It's the sound of the ball hitting the pavement at sunrise. It's the grind, the hustle, the community. And in 2017, Krudy Monkey was born from that exact energy.
How It All Started
My name is Kris, and I'm the founder of Krudy Monkey. I've been around basketball my whole life – playing, coaching, and living the culture. But there was always something missing when I looked at what was available in the market. The big brands were charging ridiculous prices for generic gear. The smaller brands lacked authenticity. And no one was really speaking to the grassroots ballers – the ones showing up to local courts, coaching junior teams, and living for the game.
So I decided to create something different. Something that combined premium streetwear with real basketball culture. Something that didn't just look good, but actually solved problems for players.
What Makes Us Different
Krudy Monkey isn't about following trends or copying what's already out there. We're about innovation and authenticity.
Every product we create is designed with purpose. We ask ourselves: Does this solve a real problem? Does this represent the culture? Would we wear this ourselves?
Our Community
Krudy Monkey is more than a brand – it's a family. We're proud to support grassroots basketball across Australia, from sponsoring local clubs to showing up courtside at VJBL games. We're coaches, parents, players, and fans who believe in giving back to the community that raised us.
We're also committed to community giving and climate action – because the game we love is played on a planet we need to protect.
No Restocks. No Compromises.
Here's something you need to know about us: we don't do restocks. Once a collection sells out, it's gone. We release limited seasonal drops, and that's it. Why? Because we believe in exclusivity, quality, and keeping things fresh. When you rock Krudy Monkey, you're wearing something that not everyone has.
Built in Australia, Worn Worldwide
We started in Victoria, Australia, but our community has grown globally. From local courts to international shipping, we're proud to serve ballers in over 150 countries. And we're just getting started.
The Motto
"We're like your problems...self made."
It's cheeky. It's bold. It's us. We don't wait for permission. We don't follow the pack. We create our own path – just like every baller who steps on the court with something to prove.
