Melanin Poppin Gear found Shaunda Johnson in South Korea in 2018. Once armed with the goal of providing quality, functional, and affordable designs that will facilitate the flexible expression of originality to both celebrate and reflect Huemans (the distinctive aura of an individual), her journey began.


Her goal quickly evolved into a passion that would steer Melanin Poppin Gear into the brand that it is today. A brand that has become renowned for its diverse cultural appeal as a true reflection of HUEMANS. 

Melanin Poppin Gear's grounding principle remains surpassing HUE and in turn, amplifying YOU.
