MARKET, formerly known as Chinatown Market, is a very dynamic brand in the world of streetwear known for its daring designs and its connection to popular culture.

MARKET was founded by former ICNY designer Mike Cherman. Cherman is based in Los Angeles and made a name for himself working with a wide range of streetwear and luxury brands before deciding to go his own way.

Cherman founded Chinatown Market in 2016 and named it after New York City's famous Canal Street, a place known for its variety of street vendors and their counterfeits. However, the brand has since rebranded itself as MARKET to signal a more respectful relationship with Asian culture and community.

MARKET is known for its playful and provocative style. The brand's designs are often colorful and feature ironic or satirical graphics that make fun of pop culture and the luxury brand establishment. They've produced everything from t-shirts and hoodies to hats and bags to unique lifestyle products such as basketball balls and water bottles.

One of MARKET's outstanding features is its ability to react quickly to current events and trends. They have an agile production process that allows them to create new designs and bring them to market within hours. This has led them to produce a range of “instant” products that respond to current issues in pop culture or in the news.

They offer a fresh, unconventional perspective on fashion and have managed to build an impressive presence in a short period of time. With their unique style, connection to culture, and quick responsiveness, MARKET represents a new wave of streetwear brands that are ready to break the norms and change the game.
