About Naadam

Founded 2013 · US

Matt Scanlan founded Naadam after a months-long trip across the Mongolian steppe, where he negotiated direct purchase agreements with goat-herding nomads. The brand's pricing positioning — cashmere sweaters at $75 instead of $400 — works because they removed three to four wholesale tiers from the supply chain. The "direct from the source" story is the entire marketing playbook.

What this theme + customisation reveals

Naadam's storefront declares "Release 4.21.26" via window.Shopify.theme JSON but the underlying CSS signatures don't match a commercial theme we track. That pattern is consistent with either (a) a fully-custom in-house theme that the team named after a project codename, or (b) a heavily-forked commercial theme where the original class prefixes have been stripped during customisation. Either way, the build effort here is meaningful.

58 inline scripts on the homepage suggests app-embed bloat — common in stacks that grew app-by-app over years.

Cross-check with the App Stack Detector to see how the apps installed interact with the theme — heavily-customised themes typically run thinner app stacks because custom code replaces app functionality.
