Today we’d like to introduce you to Brent Price.
Hi Brent , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
For most of my life, the baseball field was home. The crack of the bat, the smell of leather gloves, and the rhythm of the game shaped not only my discipline but also my sense of identity. Baseball wasn’t just a sport—it was a lifestyle, one that taught me resilience, teamwork, and the art of performance under pressure.
But as the seasons passed, I began to notice something beyond the game itself: the way athletes carried themselves, the subtle flair in their uniforms, and the growing intersection between sports and style. I realized that fashion wasn’t just about clothes—it was about expression, confidence, and storytelling, much like baseball.
🎩 Inspiration from Icons
My admiration for designers like Tom Ford, Guccio Gucci, and Gianni Versace became the spark that ignited my new path.
Tom Ford showed me the power of sleek sophistication, proving that elegance could be bold.
Guccio Gucci embodied heritage and luxury, reminding me that tradition can evolve into timeless modernity.
Gianni Versace taught me the art of daring creativity, where fashion becomes a statement as loud as a home run in the ninth inning.
These influences shaped my vision: to merge the grit of sports with the glamour of high fashion.
👟 Building my Sports Fashion Identity
I began experimenting—designing pieces that carried the spirit of baseball but elevated it with luxury details. Jerseys became tailored silhouettes, caps transformed into statement accessories, and sneakers fused athletic performance with runway-worthy aesthetics.
My designs weren’t just clothes; they were a narrative. Each stitch carried echoes of the ballpark, while each cut and fabric choice paid homage to the designers you admired.
🌟 The New Chapter
What started as a passion project soon became a movement. Athletes and fashion enthusiasts alike gravitated toward my vision. I wasn’t just creating sportswear—I was redefining it, proving that sports fashion could be both functional and aspirational.
From the baseball diamond to the fashion stage, my journey became a testament to reinvention. I showed the world that the discipline of an athlete and the creativity of a designer can coexist beautifully, and that style, like sport, is about daring to play the game your way.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
From the very beginning, my journey was defined by resilience. After being laid off from a corporate job, I faced the challenges of being a single father while striving to build something greater. With my daughter—who proudly works alongside me in the company today—I committed myself fully to the vision.
I worked 12-to-15-hour days, often sacrificing holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, pouring every ounce of energy into building a foundation. For over a year, it was relentless dedication, fueled by both responsibility and ambition.
That perseverance paid off. The company took off, and since then, it has never looked back. What started as struggle transformed into strength, and what began as survival became success. My story is proof that with discipline, sacrifice, and unwavering belief, you can turn adversity into achievement.
