This page is for anyone who wants Ksubi's beat-up denim and rock-leaning streetwear from somewhere else — cheaper, more luxe, or just less logo-heavy. The closest matches on price and attitude are Warren Lotas, Born x Raised and Wacko Maria; if it's really the shredded jeans you're after, AMIRI, Diesel and G-STAR are the denim-first answers. Note the shifts: Palm Angels is now owned by Bluestar Alliance, Supreme by EssilorLuxottica, and Heron Preston is independent again.

Warren Lotas is the closest overall match at 88%: same med-high price tier, same LA base, and the same rock-and-punk graphic language, though Lotas is print-led on heavyweight tees and hoodies rather than denim-led.
AMIRI for hand-distressed luxury denim, Diesel for treated and devoré washes under Glenn Martens, and G-STAR if you'd rather buy raw and wear the fades in yourself.
Yes. Pass~Port (low tier, and also from Sydney) is the cheapest skate-rooted option, Obey sits in the low-mid tier, and Palace, Stüssy, Supreme and G-STAR all price mid — below Ksubi's med-high.
Several. Palm Angels was acquired by Bluestar Alliance in February 2025 and founder Francesco Ragazzi departed; Supreme has been owned by EssilorLuxottica since October 2024; G-Star was bought by WHP Global in 2023 and shortened its name to G-STAR; Heron Preston bought his name back from New Guards Group in July 2025.
Distressed and heavily treated jeans, denim jackets and cut-offs, the box-cross logo, and graphic tees, sunglasses and underwear alongside them. It's been worn by Travis Scott, A$AP Rocky, Doechii and Charli XCX.
