Okay Bears was founded in 2022 with the launch of its first digital collectibles, marking one of the largest releases in Solana’s history. From the beginning, the project has connected art, community, and culture in both digital and physical spaces.

Okay Bears has established a global presence in lifestyle and entertainment. The brand is represented by IMG, the world’s largest licensing agency, positioning it alongside household names in retail, toys, and collectibles. In 2023, Okay Bears partnered with Zara to release apparel in over 1,100 stores across 74 countries and appeared on the Fortnite homepage.

Okay Bears has raised over $100,000 in support of organizations including UNHCR, Movember, the British Red Cross, and the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Through collaborations with partners such as (RED) and Lonzo Ball, Okay Bears has combined art, apparel, and digital culture to fund public impact projects.

Today, Okay Bears focuses on transforming under-resourced basketball courts and playgrounds into large-scale public murals. Recent projects include a collab with Lonzo Ball to refurbishment of two basketball courts at Verbum Dei High School in Los Angeles, financed through a 24-hour digital collectible auction, as well as a wheelchair-accessible court at the Forum for the Rights of People with Disabilities in Tripoli, Lebanon, with future builds underway in Indonesia, South Africa, the United States, and beyond.

Okay Bears also provides a framework for individual expression. Holders have used their Bears as personal and commercial identities, from launching businesses to representing them in sports and cultural events.

Through apparel, collectibles, and large-scale murals, Okay Bears continues to scale its impact worldwide, using art and design to connect communities and reimagine public spaces.
