Support Flee Club: Rebuild From 2023 Smash & Grab

Flee Club Chicago, a thriving black-owned and operated streetwear and sneaker store, has been a beacon of hope and style on the west side of Chicago since its founding in 2013 by Darris Kelly and Sabrian Sledge. The store has not only been a go-to destination for sneaker enthusiasts but has also served celebrities and star athletes who appreciate its unique offerings.

Despite its remarkable success, Flee Club Chicago has faced adversity time and again. Over the past three years, the store has fallen victim to not one, but six smash-and-grab attacks, as well as incidents of looting. These acts of violence have left the business in disarray, causing significant financial strain and emotional distress for the owners and their dedicated team.

Flee Club Chicago is more than just a retail store; it’s a hub of positivity in a community that often faces adversity. The owners have made it a mission to give back to the west side communities of Chicago, offering free giveaways and making donations to support those in need. Their commitment to uplifting the community is at the heart of everything they do.

Now, in the face of these repeated attacks, Darris and Sabrian are determined to rebuild and continue their mission of positivity and community support. They need your help to get back on their feet. We are seeking to raise $25,000 to assist in repairing the damage, restocking the store, and implementing enhanced security measures to prevent future incidents.

Your support will not only help Flee Club Chicago recover, but it will also send a powerful message: that the strength of a community can overcome adversity, and that we stand together against those who seek to bring harm to the places that bring us joy and inspiration.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a significant impact on Flee Club Chicago’s path to recovery. Together, we can help this remarkable black-owned business rise above the challenges it has faced and continue to be a symbol of resilience and hope for the west side of Chicago.

Join us in supporting Flee Club Chicago as they rebuild their dream and continue to make a positive impact in their community. Your contribution matters more than you can imagine.
