About Us

Ape Industries was built by two brothers with one goal: to create clothing that fits the way we actually live.

Founded by Dakota and Zander, Ape Industries is more than just another clothing brand. It is the product of discipline, service, hard work, and the belief that everyday gear should be built for people who are constantly moving forward.

Dakota is a former United States Navy sailor, a wrestling coach, and someone who understands the need for clothing that can keep up with a demanding lifestyle. From training rooms and wrestling mats to long days of work and everyday life, he wanted gear that felt comfortable, looked clean, and carried the mindset of people who refuse to coast.

Zander brings that same standard through his work as a firefighter. His lifestyle is built around grit, reliability, and showing up when it matters. Together, the two brothers created Ape Industries around those same values: toughness, purpose, movement, and confidence.

We are building this brand from the ground up, not just to sell clothes, but to create gear for people who live with intensity. Whether you are training, working, coaching, competing, or simply handling everyday life, Ape Industries is designed to move with you.

Our mission is simple: create athletic streetwear that blends comfort, performance, and style without losing the edge that makes it different.

Ape Industries is for the people who work hard, move different, and refuse to blend in.

Unleash the Everyday.
