The DR/VN Enigma: Streetwear, Skate, and Motorsport Collide
There’s a buzz in the underground. It’s about a brand called DR/VN, and these guys aren’t playing by the rules. Forget fleeting trends; DR/VN is built on a foundation of art, authenticity, and a relentless commitment to their motto: Carry Through Without Letup. Founded back in the ’90s by artist O.D. Crayton III and partner David McClinton, DR/VN operates on a simple, yet powerful principle: “If the artwork isn’t right, it’s not getting made.”
This dedication to artistic vision is evident in everything they create. DR/VN isn’t just slinging streetwear; they’re crafting a lifestyle. They’ve expanded their reach to encompass skate culture, motorsport grit, and BMX adrenaline, all while staying true to their core aesthetic. You’ll find that same uncompromising quality and unique artistic expression throughout their diverse offerings. They serve several silos, including street apparel, skate, motorsport, and BMX, all embodying a specific lifestyle unique to the brand. And here’s the kicker: if you see something you like ion their /salon, grab it. Chances are, you won’t see it again. DR/VN is known for limited runs and a constantly evolving collection.
What sets DR/VN apart is their refusal to compromise. They’re not chasing mass appeal; they’re cultivating a dedicated following who appreciate the artistry and the attitude. It’s a brand for those who value individuality and aren’t afraid to stand out. They were even reluctant about using social media, but were persuaded by their loyal following to use it, and now you may catch most of their new offerings on their instagram account.
