What to know about Stray Rats

Hardcore flyer art, not fashion prints

Graphics pull from straight-edge punk, DIY show flyers, '90s comics and horror, anchored by a recurring rat mascot across tees, hoodies, caps and workwear.

Its credentials are scene credentials

Art direction has been shaped by former FUCT lead creative JR Ewing, and the label is closely tied to Earl Sweatshirt and the Odd Future circle.

Cheap tees, serious sneaker collabs

Core printed tees and hoodies sit at accessible prices, but the brand collaborates regularly on footwear with New Balance and sells through SSENSE, Slam Jam and Goodhood.
