Western Sydney · 2010 · New Zealand

Play For Keeps.
Forever & Always.

Geedup Co. is Australia’s most credible independent streetwear brand. Founded in Western Sydney in 2010. Now available in New Zealand — fast domestic shipping, no customs, no wait.

Built in Western Sydney. Worn Everywhere.

In 2010, Jake Paco opened Geedup’s first store in Parramatta, Western Sydney — with zero business experience, zero manufacturing knowledge, and zero retail background. At one point he was sleeping in the store overnight because he had nowhere else to stay. The brand that today generates tens of millions in annual sales and collaborates with Trapstar London started with nothing but a refusal to quit.

The Western Sydney setting was not incidental. The brand’s aesthetic, its community-first approach, and its connection to hip-hop culture were products of a specific place — the parts of Sydney that weren’t on fashion industry radars, where creativity and self-reliance were the only resources available. Geedup’s early designs reflected that honestly: bold graphics, heavyweight construction, and a voice that spoke to people who understood what it meant to come from somewhere that didn’t expect much from you.

That same energy — honest, direct, built on discipline rather than hype — drives every Geedup drop today. The brand operates on a simple principle: limited quantities, authentic quality, no restocks. When a piece sells out from a Geedup drop, it’s gone. That’s not a marketing strategy. It’s how the brand has always operated.

Geedup Co. — A Timeline

2010

First Store Opens — Parramatta, Western Sydney

2012

2019

Million-Dollar Sales Months · International Push Begins

After rebuilding the brand through the mid-2010s, Geedup achieves consistent million-dollar sales months and begins serious international expansion planning. The drop model is refined — scarcity as honesty, not strategy.

2023

New York Fashion Week Pop-Up · Fat Joe · 4,500 People

A New York Fashion Week pop-up with rapper Fat Joe draws 4,500 people to a venue built for 300. The queue becomes the story — an event that confirms Geedup’s reach is genuinely global. Jake is listed on the AFR Young Rich List.

2024

$20 Million in Sales · Forbes Australia · Foot Locker Collab

Forbes Australia reports $20 million in annual Geedup sales. The Handstyle x Foot Locker hoodie — a Nike TN partnership through Foot Locker — sells through within hours. Geedup’s collaborations now span retail giants and independent cultural labels simultaneously.

2025

Geedup x Trapstar · The Global Collaboration

Geedup Co. partners with Trapstar London for the summer 2025 collaboration — distributed through Complex globally, described as the hottest streetwear collab of the year. The Irongate T trackpant series, Sydney Shooters capsule, and Letterman Jacket sell through immediately after drop.

The Definition

“G’d up — to be amazing at something and succeed extremely. Murk all others and destroy competition.”

This is not marketing copy. It’s the brand’s actual definition — the founding principle that has driven every design, every drop, and every collaboration since 2010. Play For Keeps. Forever & Always.

Geedup in New Zealand — Why This Store Exists

About Geedup NZ — Common Questions

What is Geedup Co.?

Geedup Co. is Australia’s most significant independent streetwear brand. Founded in Western Sydney in 2010 by Jake Paco, the brand operates on a limited-drop model — releasing premium quality pieces in limited quantities that sell out and are not restocked. The brand has grown from a single Parramatta store to a global label achieving $20 million in annual sales, collaborations with Trapstar London, Nike Foot Locker, and Vanson Leathers, and coverage in Forbes Australia and the AFR Young Rich List.

Is Geedup NZ the official Geedup store?

Geedup NZ is an authorised stockist of authenticated Geedup Co. product for the New Zealand market. Every piece is genuine Geedup Co. product — the same garments sold through the official Geedup store — stocked and dispatched from within New Zealand so NZ buyers receive domestic shipping rates and delivery times rather than international.

What does “Play For Keeps” mean?

Play For Keeps — PFK — is the founding philosophy of Geedup Co. It means total commitment, full intensity, no half-measures. It’s the operating principle Jake Paco has built the brand on since 2010. PFK appears across the range — on woven tapes, on hoodies, on tracksuits, on the lining of jackets — because it’s not a marketing slogan. It’s what the brand is built on.

Why does Geedup not restock its pieces?

Geedup operates on a deliberate scarcity model — not as a marketing tactic, but as a founding principle. Jake Paco has explained this directly: scarcity is honesty. The brand makes a limited run, sells it, and moves on. This is what drives the genuine demand for Geedup pieces — buyers know that when a piece sells out from this store, it’s gone. It doesn’t come back.

How do I know a Geedup piece is authentic?

All stock on geedup.co.nz is authenticated Geedup Co. product sourced directly through authorised distribution channels. Authentic Geedup pieces carry consistent construction hallmarks: heavyweight fabric weights (280–380gsm), Core Logo hardware tips on all drawstrings, woven badges with consistent stitching, and EMB techniques (Terry Towel, Chenille, Tackle Twill, 3D EMB) that are immediately distinguishable from counterfeit applications. If you have a concern about the authenticity of a piece, contact us directly.
