Our Story
Built in a classroom. Worn on the pitch.

Mana Grips started as an NCEA Level 3 Business Studies project at King's College Auckland — but it was never just a school project. It was an answer to a question: what would a sportswear brand look like if it carried the mana of where we come from?
We saw athletes around us — football, rugby, gym — wearing grip socks built somewhere else, by someone who didn't share our story. We wanted gear that performed at the highest level and represented Aotearoa with pride.
Every pair carries tā moko-inspired patterns, designed with respect for Māori identity. Every detail — from the silicone grip pads to the compression knit — is engineered for athletes who play with mana.
This is just the beginning. Worn with mana. Built in Aotearoa.
