When did your brand launch, and what inspired you?

On May 29, 2021, Rex6 was launched. Coming of age in South Philadelphia, many of my peers were not lucky enough graduate high school, see their 21st birthday, or let alone be able to live out their dreams. It appeared as if the older we got, the access to guns and potential threats became more prevalent. While all my memories growing up were not bad, I knew I wanted more for myself, my neighbors, and the place I consider to be home. Rex6 was created in solidarity of my community. Named after the one place where we felt safe, the local recreation center, I wanted the neighborhood, and the streets that shaped me to be who I am today to be known for more than taking young lives through incarceration or violence.

What type of brand would you describe yours as?

Comfortable/luxury athletic streetwear — I like to call it all purpose wear.

If you have to provide 3 words to describe your brand: Strong, Familial, Unique

What is the brand’s mission statement?

It’s just to motivate anybody who comes from where we come from, and to show them if we can do it anybody can do it. It’s all about the youth for us and bringing back togetherness not just for our community, but for everybody’s — And it’s also to bring great quality clothes to everybody across the world.
