Humble Beginnings #01
A SHOE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE! (August 18, 2023)
This is how it all began…
“YoDads all sparked from one simple after-church conversation. We were talking about different brands and how what those brands stood for changed drastically under new ownerships. As we were walking, I was talking to my sister, Kaya, we were joking about how YoDads could be a thing. I mentioned it to my uncle, Ryan, and said how Yodads could be an idea that could be put together and become much greater.”
- Kasyn Wolfe
In 2023 we introduced the KASYN/0326/REVIVED
For those of you who were tired of buying products that supported causes which took a stance against your beliefs or morals. YoDad was not just about a shoe, with every purchase of the KASYN/0326/REVIVED, our customers partnered with us to transform lives. The idea was that you could buy a pair of shoes and join us in planting “Your Kingdom Footprints” all over the globe. We were super excited to present this game-changing fashion accessory that would leave you feeling confident, stylish, and ready to conquer the world, knowing that you have made a difference in someone’s life.
The KASYN/0326/REVIVED was a statement piece that reflected your choice to take a stand against the evil in this world. This comfortable canvas shoe, sported branding ensuring you always stand out from the crowd. A call to unleash your creativity and express your personal style by pairing the KASYN/0326/REVIVED with your favorite outfits.
The meaning behind the KASYN:
- Scandinavian origin, means “Untainted”
The numbers we attached, 0326/REVIVED:
- Strong’s Greek, (anazao) “to live again”, “come to life again”, “REVIVE”, “regain life”
- Strong’s Hebrew, (Achashtari) “belonging to the realm”
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
Fast forward to Friday, 14 November 2025, and we are officially sold out of YoDad’s flagship shoes (more to come on that God-story soon). As our season in Tennessee comes to an end, we are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime!
We believe in living a life of intention and purpose which has made our current season seem quite puzzling. The past two years have presented many blessings and challenges. Somehow, we felt stagnant and stuck in a type of limbo we couldn’t quite understand, but more on this later.
It is easy to loose sight of our vision and dream, that’s why keeping an account of our miracles and blessings is imperative! This way, we can revisit all God has done in and through our lives. Just the mere sharing of our testimonies can restore our hope for a future.
It has been quite the journey and we are incredibly excited to see what God has in store for us in the future.
