About Brandblack

Fashion meets performance. Brandblack is an independent footwear brand from Los Angeles, founded by David Raysse — who has a background at major sports brands — together with Billy Dill. Frustrated by the constraints of big companies, they started their own label, with the fusion of fashion and high performance as its DNA.

Roots in basketball. That background is clear: Brandblack developed, among other things, a signature basketball shoe for former NBA player Jamal Crawford and was behind the shoes for the Ball brothers. Innovation and testing new technologies are central.

From casual to court. The brand is deliberately building a broad lineup: from everyday sneakers to running and basketball models, and collaborations with names like Salehe Bembury. Always with an emphasis on quality, function, and its own independent direction.
