Started in 2005 as a Berlin sneaker blog and became a publisher, creative agency and label, so the clothing sits alongside editorial, events and brand-services work.
The HS line is built on logo tees, hoodies and caps, plus limited capsules made with sportswear and luxury partners and drops timed to fashion week.
Zalando took a majority stake in June 2022; in September 2025 the multi-brand e-commerce arm was shut down to refocus on editorial, events and agency work.
