The roster splits into a few clear lanes. If you want graphics and everyday fits, start with Roaringwild (Shenzhen, founded 2010, tees and hoodies built on Chinese characters and calligraphy), Randomevent (Wuxi-born, Shanghai flagship on Yuyuan Lu, plus New Balance, Vans, Dickies and Puma collabs) and Melting Sadness, whose cartoon-mascot hoodies and tees arrive in capsule drops and extend into Casio G-Shock and CASETiFY projects. These sit at the accessible end: Roaringwild and Randomevent are the cheapest entry points on the page.
Avenue & Son covers skate — Shanghai-founded in 2014 by working pros, with decks, hardware and 1990s punk and hip-hop graphics, plus a Taikoo Li Qiantan flagship. FMACM and Soulgoods sit a step up in price: FMACM is print-heavy Shanghai Fashion Week ready-to-wear with Nike and Reebok collabs, while Soulgoods works Chinese cultural motifs like its Soul Tiger into workwear jackets and tees and was the first mainland brand to collaborate with Nike, in 2022.
Technical and experimental picks
Hamcus is the most extreme option here — a Hong Kong label by Tuff Leung making dystopian sci-fi techwear across its PRMTVSM and PMU lines, panelled and multi-pocketed in greys, blacks and earth tones, and the highest priced on this list. Attempt (Wuhan) is the calmer utility alternative: modular outerwear, adjustable fastenings, muted palettes, with UGG, Puma, Vans and a 2024 Gap capsule, plus the softer Manufacture by Attempt line. Sankuanz (Xiamen, since 2008) and Staffonly (founded in London, now Shanghai-based) are the conceptual designers — Sankuanz for military and subcultural references, Staffonly for narrative-driven, off-kilter tailoring and experimental materials.
Sportswear, tailoring and outerwear
Li-Ning is the mass-scale option: real performance basketball and running product, with the fashion-led China Li-Ning line for graphics-forward sport silhouettes. Bosideng is the down specialist — mass-market puffers through to the Dengfeng extreme-cold expedition line. Team Wang, Jackson Wang's Shanghai label, is minimalist monochrome: oversized hoodies, cargos and caps with eyelet detailing. Mukzin is womenswear, reworking qipao collars and embroidery into contemporary cuts. Feng Chen Wang is a London label from a China-born designer — deconstructed, gender-fluid, convertible 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 pieces on the Paris schedule — so treat it as diaspora design rather than a domestic Chinese brand.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which are the best Chinese streetwear brands to start with?
Roaringwild and Randomevent are the easiest entry points — graphic-led, everyday streetwear at the lowest price tiers here. From there, Avenue & Son covers skate, Soulgoods and FMACM cover graphics with sneaker and sportswear collabs, and Li-Ning covers performance sportswear.
Are all these brands actually based in China?
Most are: Shenzhen (Roaringwild), Wuxi and Shanghai (Randomevent), Shanghai (Staffonly, FMACM, Avenue & Son, Team Wang, Mukzin), Beijing (Li-Ning, Soulgoods), Wuhan (Attempt), Xiamen (Sankuanz), Nanjing (Melting Sadness), Changshu (Bosideng) and Hong Kong (Hamcus, whose studio is in Guangzhou). Feng Chen Wang is the exception — a London-based label founded in 2015 by a China-born, RCA-trained designer.
Which Chinese labels are the most expensive?
Hamcus is the highest-priced on this page, with its heavily panelled techwear. Feng Chen Wang and Attempt sit in high territory, while Staffonly, Sankuanz, Melting Sadness, Team Wang, Mukzin and Bosideng land mid-to-high. Li-Ning, FMACM and Soulgoods are mid, and Roaringwild, Avenue & Son and Randomevent are the most affordable.
Where can I buy Chinese streetwear brands?
Start with each brand's own site and stores: Roaringwild has standalone shops in Shenzhen and Shanghai, Randomevent runs its own concept stores including Yuyuan Lu and Aranya, and Avenue & Son has a Taikoo Li Qiantan flagship. For international shipping, Sankuanz is stocked at SSENSE and Tokyo's GR8, Attempt at HBX, Team Wang at Farfetch and Club 21, and Mukzin through its own English-language store. Melting Sadness runs largely through social-led drops, so its Instagram is the place to track releases rather than a full webstore. disco is a directory, so we don't sell any of it.
Do these brands only do traditional Chinese motifs?
No. Heritage references are one thread — Roaringwild's calligraphy, Soulgoods' Soul Tiger, Mukzin's qipao tailoring, China Li-Ning's typography — but Hamcus makes sci-fi techwear, Attempt makes modular utility menswear, Team Wang makes monochrome minimalism and Bosideng makes expedition-grade down.
