Nixon

Nixon is an American accessories brand rooted in action sports subcultures, including surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. Its aesthetic emphasizes functional durability combined with a minimalist, industrial design language. The brand represents a lifestyle focused on performance-driven gear tailored for youth-oriented outdoor environments.

History

Founded in 1998 in Encinitas, California, by Chad DiNenna and Andy Laats, Nixon began by producing watches specifically for the action sports market. The company initially distributed its products through specialty boutiques and board shops. Over time, it gained cultural significance by integrating professional athletes into its design process. This approach influenced the broader fashion industry by establishing technical accessories as standard components within the streetwear and lifestyle sectors.
