Brand Tone

Resilient & Gritty, Authentic & Real, Motivational & Aspirational, Street-Smart & Confident, Exclusive & Community-Oriented

Brand Values

• •Hustle/Hard Work
• •Survival/Resilience
• •Authenticity/Realness
• •Ambition/Success
• •Loyalty/Respect

Best Practices

• •Embrace the Vernacular (Authentically): Use street-smart language, slang (where appropriate and authentic), and a direct, confident tone. Avoid forcing it if it doesn't sound genuine. The language should feel like it comes from within the culture the brand represents.
• •Focus on "The Why": Always connect the apparel back to the core values of hustle, survival, authenticity, and ambition. It's not just clothing; it's a symbol of a mindset and a journey.
• •Storytelling is Key: Share narratives (even brief ones) of overcoming adversity, grinding for success, and staying true to oneself. User-generated content and testimonials, when available, can be powerful here.
• •Use Strong, Action-Oriented Verbs: Words like "grind," "hustle," "build," "survive," "conquer," "stack," "repeat" resonate with the brand's energetic and driven ethos.
• •Maintain Visual and Textual Harmony: Ensure the copy complements the visual style of the brand (often dark, gritty, bold). The words should match the energy of the imagery and design. The brand's website uses terms like "bold, authentic streetwear that tells your story — raw, real, and unapologetic," and the copy should consistently reflect this.
