This page is for anyone who buys Ksubi for the shredded, heavily treated denim and box-cross logo attitude and wants the same energy elsewhere. The closest matches split into two camps: distressed-denim houses (AMIRI, True Religion, Evisu, Kapital) and graphic-led streetwear labels (Warren Lotas, Billionaire Boys Club, Acapulco Gold). Ksubi sits at a med-high price, so most of these will cost about the same or less, with AMIRI, Fear of God and Acne Studios as the step up.

Warren Lotas is the closest overall match at 92%: same med-high price, same LA base, same rebellious graphic-led streetwear. If you specifically want the shredded denim rather than the graphics, AMIRI is the nearest equivalent — Mike Amiri built the label on hand-distressed one-offs — though it costs considerably more.
Tony Delfino and Levi's sit in the low-med tier, and Alife, True Religion, Hélas, Edwin, G-STAR and Guess all sit below Ksubi's med-high pricing. True Religion is the best value if you want statement denim specifically.
AMIRI and Fear of God for distressed and oversized LA luxury, Kapital for Japanese boro and indigo craft, Acne Studios for Stockholm denim and oversized tailoring, and Prada or Issey Miyake if you're leaving streetwear behind entirely.
It was founded in Sydney in 1999 as Tsubi and renamed Ksubi in 2006 after a trademark dispute. After entering voluntary administration in 2009 it was bought by Bleach Group, and it has been backed since 2013 by LA firm Breakwater Investment Management, which now runs it largely from Los Angeles.
Several. Kapital went to L Catterton in late 2024, G-STAR to WHP Global in December 2023, A.P.C. to L Catterton in 2023, and Authentic Brands Group completed a $1.4bn take-private of 51% of Guess's IP in January 2026. Product and design leadership are largely unchanged, but it's worth knowing before you buy into a brand long-term.
