Alphanumeric, also known as A# or Alphanumeric Environmental Protection Company began life in 1998 on the later end of the first generation of streetwear companies. That said, A# is a massively underrated and underappreciated brand. Their combination of technical gear and enviromental consciousness combined with skating, snowboarding, surfing and streetwear culture was unprecedented at the time. They set the stage for so many brands.
