Vale Men's Shorts

Vale, also known as Vale Forever or Vale Lives, is an American streetwear brand founded by 1stbrain and Dontnojess in 2014. The brand is known for its innovative take on Americana and streetwear staples, using heavy printing, zippers and distressed applique to create unique finishes. Vale became one of the most prominent young streetwear brands in the late 2010s thanks to its VALE STATE collection, which references American collegiate style in hoodies and t-shirts. Other standout items are the spiderweb flannel shirts and screenprinted shirts. Previously working with influencer and stylist Devon Byrd, the brand has reached a range of American athletes as brand ambassadors, including Kyrie Irving, with whom they worked on a Nike PE in 2020. Next to Vale, the brand's founders also own ARKIVE, following a more goth-style streetwear approach.
