Meet The Founders

At RIISE, we believe that the perfect sock can elevate every step you take. Founded by Courtney and Colin, two passionate adventurers with a shared vision, RIISE is dedicated to creating the world's best socks—socks that blend functionality, comfort, and style.
Colin brings a dynamic blend of adventure, craftsmanship, and innovation to the forefront of the sock industry. An outdoor enthusiast with an insatiable zest for life, Colin's journey began in the rugged landscapes of South Africa, where he grew up playing rugby. This early immersion in sports instilled in him a deep appreciation for high-performance gear, setting the stage for his later endeavors.

Beyond the rugby field, Colin's passions extend to fishing and sailing, activities that have shaped his understanding of endurance and resilience. For the past 20 years, Colin has commanded the seas as a large yacht captain, a role that has taken him across the Atlantic over 20 times. His extensive maritime experience underscores his commitment to excellence and precision, qualities he now channels into RIISE.

Courtney's story begins in upstate New York. Her childhood was filled with hiking, bike riding and playing sports like basketball and tennis. Her journey took a pivotal turn when she moved to Miami for university, drawn by the city's vibrant culture and sunny climate. Courtney found weight training and began working in fitness centers to get her through college. Courtney's career took a shift after school into high end retail and fashion. This lust for fashion soon beckoned her to Los Angeles, where she spent several years immersed in the dynamic world of fashion design and innovation. Despite her love for LA, the allure of the Sunshine State eventually brought her back to Miami.

Courtney's wanderlust and love for the outdoors has always kept her on the move. From walking 30 miles in the city to climbing the mountains of Malibu, she embraces every opportunity to explore and connect with her surroundings. She firmly believes that the only way to truly know a city is by walking its streets, a philosophy that has profoundly influenced her approach to life and design.

Together, Courtney and Colin envisioned a brand that would revolutionize the humble sock. They combined their unique perspectives—Courtney's fashion-forward approach and Colin's technical expertise—to launch RIISE. Their mission: to craft the perfect sock that supports every adventure, from the bustling streets of New York to the serene beaches of Miami, and everywhere in between.

Under Colin and Courtney's leadership, RIISE is more than a sock company; it's a testament to their passion for quality and innovation. Each pair of socks reflects the dedication to craftsmanship and belief that the right gear can elevate any experience. As they continue to explore new horizons, Colin and Courtney remain committed to pushing the boundaries of sock design and striving to deliver unparalleled products to customers worldwide.
