Our Roots

 
#repusc

College students show pride in their pursuit of higher education by wearing the paraphernalia of the school that they attend but how do you show pride in your growth beyond the classroom? What do you wear when improving your skill set and knowledge base through programs that aren't offered at major universities? How do you show love, respect and appreciation for HBCUs that you did not attend? Whether through formalized education, or real world experiences, WE are all students of the school of life. Designed for the true hustler, The University of Streets & Corners was created as a brand for all people to proudly display their journey for progression while striving for a better life.

Origins

Believe it or not, The University of Streets & Corners crest was originally designed as a mixtape cover. Our founder, Free At Last 90, sought to synthesize his collegiate experiences, political views, historical perspectives and lessons learned from an upbringing in Wilmington, DE into a cohesive and thought provoking musical work of art. After years of refining his ideas, writing, re-writing, and recording, Free At Last 90 successfully created music that delivered powerful imagery and ideals aimed to motivate, encourage and promote black intellectualism through supreme lyricism. Unpredictably, the soul of the music evolved into a full clothing brand. Whatever your story, whatever your background, one thing that we all share is the propensity to learn, grow, and progress from our experiences. There is no teacher greater than life itself. Be proud of the progress that you have made on your personal journey through life and #repusc as you strive for more.
