What to know about Bait
A shop first, label second
BAIT began as the physical arm of PickYourShoes.com, and its own t-shirts and apparel sit alongside limited-edition sneakers, art toys and collectibles it stocks.
Licensed pop culture drives the sneakers
The name is built on anime, comic and gaming tie-ins produced with Reebok, ASICS, Saucony and Onitsuka Tiger rather than on original footwear design.
West Coast retail, mid-tier pricing
Founded in Diamond Bar in 2011 with stores from Los Angeles and San Diego up to Portland and Seattle, priced in the middle of the streetwear range.
How Bait fits
Overall fit
true to size
BAIT's in-house and collaboration apparel is usually reported as fitting close to standard US streetwear sizing, with a slightly relaxed, boxy cut on tees and hoodies rather than a tailored one.
Tip: Take your usual US size for a normal streetwear fit, and consider sizing down one if you want a trimmer, less boxy silhouette.

By category
| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-shirts & graphic tees | true to size | boxy to regular, typical graphic-tee cut | Order your normal tee size; size down if you prefer a fitted look, since the body tends to be boxy. |
| Hoodies & sweatshirts | slightly large | relaxed streetwear fit with dropped-feeling shoulders on some releases | Stick to your usual size for a roomy look, or size down if you don't want extra volume. |
| Jackets | slightly large | roomy, layering-friendly coach and varsity style cuts | Usual size works over a hoodie; size down if wearing over just a tee. |
