About us
WHY WE EMPOWER
We live in a time where image and social equity are so highly valued that people tend to focus more of their energy on living up to society’s standards ( looking the part rather than being ). Individuals who tend to go against the grain of those molds, tend to get over looked or doubted. So we strive to empower anyone who identifies with being “Slpton” , and encourage them to unapologetically be themselves and peruse their hearts desires. We understand that some industries and individuals benefit by “ poisoning the well ” and promoting content or values that cause one to feel less-than, insecure, lower-class, etc. with hopes that they would buy-into what's being sold in order to feel of-value or whole. People unconsciously absorbing toxic messages from social media and other environments can develop unhealthy thinking, habits, and views of themselves and life itself. At Slpton, we combat negative influences with Positive/ Empowering messaging on Apparel and within Content. We strive to not only uplift but also challenge an individual’s default ways of existing, encourage self-assessment, and promote self-love/help tactics with the hopes that people will Grow into a person who feels whole and values themselves.
The Brain Behind The Brand
The creator of the “Slpton” brand is from the Colonial Drive region of Miami, Fl ( a small neighborhood wedged between Richmond Heights and West Perrine Florida that is often overlooked “ Slpton ”… ) His name is Tadam. Tadam dedicated the majority of his youth to being a Student-Athlete playing Pop-warner & High School Football, Running Track, and maintaining a 3.5 GPA. It Took Tadam only 3 months of Collage to realize that the NFL or Medical field weren't the vehicles in which he wanted to use in order to provide for himself or his family and began exploring other options. Tadam soon took an interest in Entrepreneurial Endeavors and the Arts which lead to him picking up a Camera and pursuing a career as a Content creator. Things seemed promising with his test shoots getting used by Molding Agencies in Portfolios, shooting every other week with Different Artists, Brands, and Boutiques. Unfortunately, after a while, he felt as if something was missing from it all, Distanced himself, and decided to take a new approach to his craft. “I just started to feel numb to it all, like I was just picture-taking. These projects are dope but all they do is Entertain and drain people's pockets and energy. I’m looking to Entertain and give value.” Tadam has put a Creative spin on what it means to be “slepton” ( an urban term frequently used in South Florida ) Branded it, and has been creating and adding value ever since.
