Brand History
The Hundreds was founded in 2003 by Bobby Hundreds and his crew. Their clothing is inspired by LOS ANGELES LIFESTYLE / CALIFORNIA CULTURE and Southern California's skateboarding, surf, punk, and hip-hop cultures. Their design ethic is also reminiscent of 1980s surf-culture t-shirts, independent skateboard company apparel of the 1990s, and the advent of "streetwear" at the end of the millennium.

"California has been a breeding ground for some of the world's most prolific subculture. From the punk scene of the '80s, to gangsta rap and skateboarding, California lifestyle is all about Doing It Yourself, questioning authority and the norm, and being different. At the core, The Hundreds is influenced by this attitude, and all the various subcultures that we grew up in during the 80s and 90s."

The brand has created a cult following using it's online magazine as a vehicle to showcase it's clothing, lifestyle and retail locations. The website now boast over half a million individual visitors per month who are attracted by the articles and interviews from within and around the streetwear culture. As Bobby Hundreds says in an interview for Sneaker Freaker magazine:

"At the time, if you were an apparel brand, you were mad hip-hop or whiteboy skater. There really was no in-between. So we utilized our website to push attention towards street culture and these amazing brands, artists and designers that were unknown in the wider market. It not only helped to fortify the culture and scene, but also legitimized our brand in terms of what we were all about."

The Hundreds is a lifestyle project that remains personal and direct. It is reflective of the streetwear community and culture and is completely dedicated to it's fanbase....The Hundreds is Huge!
