About

Dorko is a young and innovative streetwear brand. The name „Dorko” is rooted in the past, when the iconic retro sneakers were manufactured in the Dorog Rubber Plant in 1920. Later in the 1970s they were called as „dorko” shoes by the common language. When the foreign brands started to arrive one after the other due to the market liberalization, the legendary shoes started to fall into oblivion. But a group of young local designers didn’t want to let them fade away. In 2014 the Dorko shoes were reborn by the foundation of the Hungarian brand.

That’s where the Dorko-story begins, somewhere between the respect to the past and our aspiration of shaping the future through creation. Since the foundation we aimed to both rewrite the rules and respect where we came from. We didn’t want to hide behind high-sounding foreign terms.

We are proud to be a Hungarian brand.

The creation and the freedom of expression have been essential for us from the beginning. That’s why we aspire to provide more than a simple merchandise. We would like to carry a message through the DRK products. The message of those who are brave enough to stand for something significant. From the very beginning it has been important for Dorko to collaborate with talented designers, musicians, artists and athletes, who can make Hungary a better place through their way of seeing things.

Dorko also supports local organizations and movements to get into the spotlight by raising attention on important issues. The „Signature, Collab, Propaganda” and the Dorko Hungary collection have been created with the mission to let everyone find the message that they would like to convey.
