We’re excited to kick off Stride USA 2025 with a pre-event mixer at Made in Old Town, sponsored by the lovely team over at Checkpoint!

Made in Old Town is an ambitious and innovative space that is set to become a hub for footwear and apparel manufacturing, education, and creative collaboration, fostering a new era of localized, sustainable production.

With a vision to redefine domestic manufacturing, Made in Old Town is creating a community where designers, makers, and brands can experiment, prototype, and scale in ways that prioritize innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship. As the footwear industry seeks more agile, data-driven, and environmentally conscious solutions, this initiative represents a bold step forward for Portland’s deep-rooted legacy in footwear design and production.

Join us for an evening of connection, inspiration, and an exclusive look inside this ground-breaking space - where the future of footwear and apparel manufacturing is taking shape right now!

A big thanks to the Checkpoint and Made in Old Town teams for making this possible!
