About Us

9Strokes is a street-wear brand that celebrates the ying and yang of the black experience. The ying representing the systemic issues, tragedies and struggles within the black community. With the yang representing the the force and action to change it, forever.

We also celebrates the beauty and humor of the black experience. Crafted from experiences in every day life, black history across the world and black revolutionary thought.

Name taken from the very controversial 3 Strikes Law and the first implementation of the law in Washington State is 1993, the name 9Strokes (with a few choice changes) was born in 2020 in Seattle, Washington.

We hope to create designs that educate, inspire, provoke thought, spark conversation and make people take action in the systems and troubles that have plagued the black community for way too long across the globe, while illustrating a promising future for all black people across the world.
