About us

90 The Original, sparked into life by pro skateboarder Kevin Staab during the unforgettable 1990s, is more than a clothing line—it's a revival of an era electrified by the pinnacle of action sports and the raw, gritty sounds of grunge music. Born from the vibrant streets and the dynamic skateboarding tours across Europe, our brand found its symbol in the '90' seen on European highway signs—a mark Kevin encountered and transformed from a simple speed indication into a boundary-defying emblem.

This spirit of adventure and defiance catapulted 90 t-shirts into the legendary Seattle music scene, a journey made possible by Kevin's ties with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. Today, we stand at the intersection of music and skate culture, with icons like Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, KimThayil, and the innovative Tony Hawk, to name a few. Even the queen of pop, Madonna has been whispered to embrace our designs, showcasing our wide-reaching impact on diverse music and sports personalities.

 At 90 The Original, we are committed to carrying forward this legacy into the future. Our mission is to encapsulate the high-energy, spirited ethos of our roots while paving new paths. The iconic '90' logo is not just a brand; it's a symbol of a community hungry for adventure and intense, authentic experiences. We encourage you to be daring, to transcend limits, and to embrace the ethos of living '90' every day.
