Hero Within

Hero Within Hero Within is a lifestyle brand providing subtle, sophisticated and empowering pop culture fashion for the modern fan. Its time to unleash your hero within!

For most of his adult life, Tony Kim has struggled to find fashion solutions that were both geeky and sophisticated. Like Kal-El traveling to Earth as a baby, the journey of interesting nerd apparel has been long and lonely. Then he and Michael Lew began collaborating on a number of fashion projects inspired by Tony's love for the San Diego Comic-Con. By early 2015, it became clear that it was tim

e for something different. Hero Within was born and the conceptual phase began. A great team has formed and Hero Within became official in early 2016. DC superheroes is where it all started with Tony many years ago- so it is an honor to partner with DC Comics™ for the launch of Hero Within's Justice League Collection.

This lonely dork 10 years ago… 😆

BEFORE: Our very first Hero Within show at Chicago Comic Con in August 2016. We sold a whopping TWO jackets the entire weekend.

It was hard not to feel defeated. We didn’t know what the future held. All we really had was an idea, a lot of hope, and the determination to keep going.

AFTER: A decade later, at San Diego Comic-Con just a few weeks ago. ❤️

What a difference 10 years makes.

We’re beyond grateful for every fan, friend, customer, and supporter who believed in Hero Within and helped us get from there to here.

Never underestimate what can happen when you just keep going.

Thank you for an incredible 10 years.
🖖🏽❤️
