Rhuigi Has Just Got To Be Rhude

Rhuigi is a great story of how hard work and a creative vision can lead you to success, no matter where you started from.

His family immigrated from the Philippines when he was just a kid and he immediately started soaking up the culture.

Rhuigi was always a hustler and started his career in fashion by buying designer brands at thrift shops and selling them for a much higher price to the kids at his school.

From there, he just kept growing. Part of the reason for his success was that he was willing to show up and put in the work. He was just happy to be around designers and would hang out and help with whatever was needed. He wasn’t even getting paid.

But what he learned is far more valuable than an hourly salary.

He took what he learned and started his own brand Rhude, which blew up after Kendrick Lamar wore one of his shirts.

He expanded the line and it’s become a wildly successful streetwear brand.

But he’s moved way beyond Rhude. He’s now the creative director for Bally and the Phoenix Coyotes. In addition to having his own line at Zara.

We talked all about his new ventures and he had some great advice for the young entrepreneurs out there.

I didn't know much about him before buying a pair of the sneakers (they were on sale) and I have no issues with the pairs that I own personally but if you are any sort of brand that wants to keep itself up there and are charging insane prices but selling cheap-o junk items you won't last too long. I think some of the clothing and shoes are good but whatever factory is pumping them out needs to have much better QC. $700 sneakers should not have the lace holder on the tongue break clean off
