This Is Fresh Off The Block

Style is more than self-expression, it’s an expression of your city, your community, your culture.

Your style is an extension of your DNA.

When the streets are your runway, it doesn’t matter where you show up. The style is curated, but the swag is effortless. It’s in your way of walk. Your way of talk. Your style is your way of letting all those around you know, “I’m here. Take notes.”

When you step out, you always keep it fresh, because what you wear is as authentic as you are. So put on for your city, your neighborhood, your street, and always show up Fresh Off the Block.
