History
Coops Kicks was founded in 2017 by 13-year-old Elliott Cooper, an eCommerce entrepreneur based in Brooklyn.[5] The company, since then has been operating via its Instagram platform under the handle - coops.kicks.[6]
Eventually, Elliot teamed up with GotSneakers, a sneaker recycling group, to help minimize pollution from shoe waste - and launched a fundraising program.[7] All the revenue generated from this program was donated to The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch-based nonprofit engineering environmental group that develops technologies to recover plastic trash from the oceans and intercept it in rivers before it reaches the sea.[8]

Coops Kicks offers a wide range of authentic sneakers - both limited edition and high-demand sneakers that can be bought directly from the company’s Instagram handle.
