TRXDE UNMASKED: 2025 REVIEW

TRXDE APPAREL has officially been a year in the making. Our LLC was first founded in Chicago in October of 2024, and we fully launched to the world in August of 2025. Since then, we have been working hard to not only create a thriving community, but to also center and appreciate the amazing blackmen of our generation. With that being said, let's UNMASK TRXDE and see what beautiful things happened this year!

Brand Ambassador Awards:

Choosing a brand ambassador is not easy when you are just starting a business! It requires someone to truly believe in your vision and ability. We are blessed to start the year right with six amazing blackmen. All of them diverse, strong, and accomplished. Most importantly, the world loved them even more!

1st Award, Most Sales: MR. DOMINUS

Mr. Dominus knows exactly what to do to make the fans go wild. Mr. Dominus has been repping the TRXDE ruthlessly and it shows. You can see him modeling the products on his podcast FREAK N' SEE, lifting heavy at his favorite gym, or gogo dancing in our jockstrap at a party. 25% of all of our sales this year included Mr. Dominus's discount code. Don't you just want to throw some money at him! 

2nd Award, Most Popular: RICO PRADA

People were going really crazy on Social Media over Rico Prada, the Afro Cubano Bear himself! Most ambassadors post on two different social medias, but Rico only had Instagram. Posting on Instagram alone, Rico racked in more than 10,000 views and over 100+ shares per post. These are insane numbers, and they only got higher. Rico has caused our business account to be flooded by A LOT of hole pics. And we ain't mad at it!

3rd Award, Crowd Favorite: 5iveftFit

Believe it or not, 5iveftfit is one of our smallest brand ambassadors! But he has the biggest cult of loyal fans. In our surveys he was voted the most. And on social media, this man racks in the likes So EASY. Averaging over 300+ likes per post. His followers don't play about him! 5IVEftFIT IS EVERYONE'S FAVOITE TRXDE FOR 2025!

Business accomplishments:

The hardest thing about starting a clothing brand is making things that people would like to buy. Most startups do not sell anything their first two years. Having only released in August of 2025 we have averaged an AMAZING 60 ORDERS! AND A TOTAL 164 PRODUCTS SOLD! That is a brilliant start to a good thing! We couldn't ask for anything more. Let's get into some fun statistics:

Favorite Products: BLACK MESH SHORTS

This year the sun was out and so was dem thighs! Our BLACK MESH SHORTS are carefully crafted to be lightweight, durable, stylish, and a lil sexy. The mesh being specifically made to show off, and yet show nothing at all. Giving men the versatility to express themselves at the gym and at the pride festival. We are not surprised that our shorts left so many TRXDE satisfied. 

Favorite City: Atlanta

Yes, we were founded in Chicago, but this opening year, ATL has been giving the Chi a big run for their money! 60% of sales came from Atlanta and all of the customers were more than happy to show off their TRXDE! C'MON CHICAGO! FIGHT BACK!! Jokes aside, thanks Atlanta for all of the support.

Favorite Size: XL

Another challenge about starting a clothing brand is sizing. Not just sizing a model, but getting it right for everyone else. Thicker men are usually not the focus in athletics and fashion, but we at TRXDE APPAREL have no problem showing the love! We know that athletes and fitness enthusiasts are usually not petite. Whether you like a tight fit or loose fit, the availability of bigger sizes is always a must. This year everyone's favorite size was XL! We love to see the thick boys show up and show out!

 

 

 

 

Now for what we have all been waiting for....

TRXDE OF THE YEAR: MUSTANG

Mustang had had a great run this year! Not only was he our TRXDE OF THE MONTH for JULY, but he is also another example of believing in the vision. Mustang was one of our first interviewees and he did not disappoint. He published his autobiography and has continued to soar and be a positive influence on the TRXDE community! Thanks for an amazing year,  brotha-man!

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

AND GET YO ASS IN THE GYM!

P.S. NEW YEAR, NEW TRXDE

 

Sincerely,

OG TRXDE
