Menace was started in September of 2013
by Steven Mena. He was looking to capture what made street wear so unique and
everlasting, the classic graphic tee’s, hats,
and accessories that will probably never be
played out. Everything Menace creates says
something about his life that he hopes the
fan base can relate to, it’s all derived from
where he grew up in Los Angeles, CA. He
took the places he’s been and the things he’s
seen growing up and used it as inspiration for
Menace, the street wear label.
Steven says “That’s why I feel like street wear
has never really faded away and it wasn’t just
a trend that popped up, it’s because so many
city kids can vibe to it or see a piece and be
reminded of their own experiences in some
way. It’s that “Imma do whatever I wanna do”
attitude that really grasps people. The brands
that are a part of this category aren’t really
into what’s new and what’s hot, it’s all about
whatever we wanna do whatever we find cool
and whatever we would actually wear. We’re
just giving it to the people and I feel like they
appreciate that we don’t hop on trends and
just keep it very classic... very street.”
