Yesterday my friend, Tony B Kim aka Crazy4ComicCon announced his new adventure and new future into geekdom, HeroWithin. HeroWithin is a men’s fashion brand with ‘geek flair’. This was a natural road for him, being very in touch with geek culture and open to embracing the nerd world. It was Tony who allowed me to write my very first blog article ever and voice My First Time San Diego Comic-Con story. His presence in the Con industry, from moderating and heading panels, producing his own podcast, and hosting social networking events such as Game of Bloggers, has lead up to the launch of this amazing passion project of his. He has taken all of his Con experience, and spliced it together with a talented team of creatives to launch a nerdy line of clothing for men; and it looks great!
While I am counting down the days to San Diego Comic-Con, one of my favorite fandoms to follow via Twitter is the geeky style of Tony. From his hand-crafted, mod podge DC themed prescription glasses, to his custom made WB Swag Bag coats, it was no surprise that this is where his creativity would eventually lead him. Take a moment to read about his journey, fulfilling a long-time passion and get inspired yourself!
“As fanboys, we’ve grown up settling for limited and boring nerd style- graphic tees and hoodies. While our passion hasn’t changed, our fashion needs have. HERO WITHIN apparel was designed to be sophisticated while shamelessly embracing our geeky side. We hope everyday you can celebrate your hero within.”
-Tony B Kim, Founder and CEO
