How these brands compare
The nearest neighbours to Belief NYC are the independent New York skate labels that sell decks and tees out of the same scene. Alltimers, founded in 2013 by two former Supreme riders, runs cartoonish, joke-heavy graphics on tees, hoodies and work pants. Quartersnacks grew out of a 2005 NYC skate blog and builds apparel around its Snackman mascot and neighbourhood in-jokes. Bronze 56K, started in 2012, leans on lo-fi 90s internet and public-access TV imagery. Call Me 917, Alex Olson's skate-shop line, keeps things to wordmark and phone-number motifs on decks, tees and caps. All four sit in the low-to-mid price tier, so they are the cheapest way to swap in.
For a broader New York wardrobe rather than just graphics, Only NY (2007) does illustrative tees, fleece, corduroy and rugby shirts, and makes official product with NYC Parks, Sanitation and the MTA — probably the single closest brand on this list in spirit. Awake NY, from ex-Supreme brand director Angelo Baque, pairs arched-logo basics with polos, corduroy and workwear outerwear, and is easy to find at SSENSE and Dover Street Market. Noah NYC mixes skate, surf and punk with Ivy tailoring and publishes its sourcing, so expect heavier knits, rugbies and sack suits at a mid price. Adsum is the technical option: Brooklyn-made shells, anoraks, fleeces and pleated trousers with minimal branding — the right pick if you like Belief's fit but not its prints.
Outside New York, Dime (Montreal) and Polar Skate Co. (Malmö) share the deadpan humour and now anchor the baggier end — Polar's Big Boy denim and corduroy run deliberately wide. Palace brings London skate humour and weekly Friday drops; Places+Faces and Aries cover the UK music-and-rave side, with Aries produced in small Italian and Portuguese runs at a higher price. Stüssy is the original template for graphic tees, hoodies and headwear, while Supreme — now owned by EssilorLuxottica since October 2024 — still drops weekly around the box logo.
At the pricier end, Kith and Madhappy trade skate grit for premium fleece and sportswear, Cactus Plant Flea Market sells scarce puff-print drops, Saturdays NYC goes clean and surf-minimal, and Pleasures stays cheap and punk-referencing.
