Every design starts somewhere. For HIGHXBORN, this one starts with an X.
As we bring our first T-shirt into DROP 001 — X MARKS THE START: THE XTENSION, we wanted the design to reflect the ideas that inspire us, and the routes that continue to shape our journey.
Here's a closer look at the thinking behind our first HIGHXBORN T-shirt.
Starting With the Basics
We kept the front of the shirt clean, featuring the HIGHXBORN logo with EST.2026.
We wanted to establish identity. Sometimes, the smallest details are enough.
For us, this marks the beginning of this chapter where the journey started and the building.
X Marks the Start
The back design centres around a world map with an X in the middle and routes extending towards different points.
The X represents the starting point. The routes is mapping out what comes next.
We see it as a reflection of your journey and the many directions it can take. The starting point matters, but so does everything that follows.
X Marks The Start. The routes keep extending.
Making a Statement Without Losing Our Roots
Designing the back wasn't straightforward.
We wanted to make use of the space, create a graphic that stood out and bring the different elements together without losing sight of what we represent.
The world map, central X and extending routes was to bring it all together.
Rather than adding graphics just to fill the space, we wanted each element to have a reason.
Built Around the Everyday
For our first T-shirt, we went with a black, oversized silhouette in 300 GSM fabric.
The goal was to introduce HIGHXBORN through a piece that brings together our identity and our approach.
From the logo on the front to the graphic on the bac our first T-shirt and another step in developing what HIGHXBORN looks like and expectations.
The Start Is Only the Beginning
This T-shirt is part of DROP 001 — X MARKS THE START: THE XTENSION.
The X marks where it begins. The routes represent the possibilities ahead.
As HIGHXBORN continues to grow, that idea remains at the centre of what we're building. We're proud of the start, and we're looking forward to where it goes.
