Brain Dead

Founded in 2014 in Los Angeles by Kyle Ng and Ed Davis, Brain Dead is a collective of artists and designers drawing inspiration from underground art, music, skateboarding, and post-punk culture. The brand’s graphic-driven streetwear, featuring bold prints on t-shirts, hoodies, work pants and sweatshirts, reflects a commitment to preserving subcultural traditions. Brain Dead has collaborated with brands like adidas and Reebok, bringing its distinctive aesthetic to reinterpret classic sneaker silhouettes and apparel. These partnerships blend archival influences with contemporary design, amplifying Brain Dead’s role in pushing streetwear beyond its roots.
