KADYLUXE is a 100% women-owned fashion brand founded and led by Kady Zinke from Colorado. Built from Kady’s passion for sports, fashion, and empowering women, the brand represents a new approach to fan apparel: one that celebrates individuality while creating stylish ways for women to connect with the teams and communities they love.
The brand’s story begins with Kady Zinke’s deep connection to the world of sports. Her journey started on the NBA courts, where she witnessed firsthand the excitement, dedication, and passion that surrounded the game. While the energy of the sport was undeniable, Kady noticed something was missing, women’s fan apparel was not reflecting the same level of excitement and individuality that female fans brought to the experience. Traditional sports merchandise often focused on functionality and team recognition, but there was an opportunity to create something more intentional. Women deserved apparel that allowed them to celebrate their favorite teams while also expressing their own personal style. They deserved pieces that felt fashionable, elevated, and designed with them in mind. That vision led to the creation of KADYLUXE, a brand built around the belief that supporting your favorite team should feel personal, empowering, and stylish. In 2014, the brand reached a major milestone when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cheerleaders became KADYLUXE’s first clients, marking the beginning of a journey to redefine the way women experience sports apparel. KADYLUXE has always represented more than fan merchandise—it represents confidence, individuality, and the ability to merge personal style with team pride. As a founder-led fashion house, the brand continues to be guided by thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to creating pieces that feel comfortable and timeless.
““KADYLUXE is an independent, founder-led fashion house built with intention. Every piece is designed to feel considered, elevated, and enduring - fashion that moves beyond trends and lives effortlessly in your everyday…This is fashion for women who value confidence, individuality, and quiet strength; created to be worn, collected, and lived in.””
This philosophy continues to define KADYLUXE’s approach to women’s sports fashion, creating a new standard for what fan apparel can represent.
HOW KADYLUXE dares to be different.
Sports fans shouldn't have to choose between showing team pride and expressing their personal style. After founder Kady Zinke recognized a growing demand for women's fan apparel that felt more fashionable, elevated, and expressive, she set out to create something different. The result was KADYLUXE—a brand that reimagines fanwear with modern designs, premium quality, and pieces that empower women to support their favorite teams with confidence and individuality.
What makes KADYLUXE unique is its ability to bring together the worlds of sports, fashion, and personal expression. Rather than creating traditional fan merchandise, the brand focuses on designing elevated apparel that allows women to showcase their passions while staying true to their individual style. Each collection is created with versatility in mind, giving fans pieces they can wear on game days, at campus events, during tailgates, or as part of their everyday wardrobe.

KADYLUXE has redefined women's fan apparel by combining elevated fashion with officially licensed sports partnerships. Instead of creating generic fan merchandise, the brand collaborates with some of the biggest names in professional and collegiate sports, allowing fans to wear authentic, officially licensed apparel that celebrates their favorite teams without sacrificing style.
The brand has also expanded beyond professional sports to become a destination for officially licensed collegiate and sorority apparel. Through partnerships with major universities and organizations, the brand provides fans, students, alumni, and sorority members with stylish ways to represent the teams and communities they are passionate about. By blending school spirit, sisterhood, and fashion, KADYLUXE offers a fresh perspective on collegiate apparel. Their designs allow women to celebrate their university affiliations and sorority identities through pieces that feel more personalized and fashion-forward than traditional campus merchandise. Whether cheering from the stands, attending campus events, or connecting with their community, customers can express their pride in a way that reflects their own style.
These official partnerships give KADYLUXE access to licensed team logos, colors, and branding, ensuring every piece is both genuine and high quality. Whether representing professional leagues or major collegiate programs, KADYLUXE delivers apparel that fans can wear with confidence, knowing they're supporting their teams through officially authorized products. By combining authenticity, premium design, and a fashion-forward approach, KADYLUXE continues to create a new category of sports and lifestyle apparel—one where team pride, school spirit, and personal style come together.
