Stüssy Poly Knit Dress

Stüssy is a clothing brand and private company founded in 1980 by Shawn Stussy. The brand is one of many that emerged during the 1980s from the SurfWear trend, which took off primarily in Orange County, California. By 1992, Stüssy clothing was being sold throughout the United States in specialty boutiques and department stores.

But there was much more to the development of the Stüssy brand than "just" surfing. The last decades of the last century belonged to subcultures and underground music styles. And as Stüssy clothing was represented at a number of events and happenings across genres from punk to rap, the various influences soon began to show on the products themselves, be it pants, t-shirts or jackets.

A current look at the legacy of subcultures

In recent years, the Stüssy T-shirt in particular, in both men's and women's versions, has become an identifying mark for sympathy for a certain kind of distinct community. However, despite its originally sporting roots, you won't see all sorts of clothing on the running ovals. Stüssa's outfits are much more prominent at concerts and events related to sneaker culture and fashion.

In 2020, Stüssy is at the very top. For example, the great Nike x Stüssy collaboration was very popular, which resulted in pants, a t-shirt and slippers or a hat. A special version of the Spiridon Cage 2 sneaker was also a big success of this collection.

So explore the men's and women's Stüssy products on Footshop and expand your wardrobe with a piece from the streetwear legend with a current take on the legacy of subcultures of the last century.
