The Basement is guided by four principles: community, social responsibility, collaboration, and individual voice. Since our founding in 2013, we have become a global community platform within streetwear and contemporary culture and have partnered with the likes of Nike and New Balance to launch everything from sneakers, social initiatives, and global consumer activations.
Today, we proudly represent a community of over 400,000 Zoomer and Millennial Basement Members that drive new behaviours and values that are changing the makeup of the world. From streetwear to art, politics, travel and more, Basement Members believe in who they are and collaboratively create the change they want to see in the culture.
With our unique position, we are building the first game-designed Vertical Community Platform that will reform the consumer- social experience by giving Members a set of controls and experiences that allows them to eat, earn, live, play and trade with each other and their favourite brands.
