Mishka

Mishka is a Brooklyn-based streetwear brand defined by its graphic-heavy aesthetic and roots in punk, metal, and horror subcultures. The brand utilizes bold imagery, such as its signature eyeball logo, to represent a DIY ethos and an underground, counter-cultural perspective within urban fashion.

History

Founded in 2003 by Mikhail Bortnik and Greg Rivera, Mishka originated in Brooklyn, New York. The brand emerged during a significant period for independent streetwear, gaining recognition for its integration of niche musical and cinematic influences. It played a role in bridging the gap between skate culture and the broader urban fashion movement. Mishka's history includes numerous collaborations with artists and musicians, establishing its position as a cultural fixture within the global streetwear community.
