One Block Down

One of today's major meeting points, One Block Down allows global communities to experience an archive of untold subculture stories, building connections and commonalities around this knowledge. It is these encounters that see new communities forming; communities not defined by physical distance, but by their infinite connection to something greater.

One Block Down is as much an educator as it is a storyteller, using its brand to carve out a new set of cultural principles by synthesizing the interests of its global audience. Along with producing and distributing content, it continues to push its product offerings further and supports the partners it works with in redefining contemporary style and the feeling of authentic group membership.

Founded in 2009, One Block Down has permeated the world with constant documentation of the most authentic youth movements, using its evolving digital communication channels to define a new era of cultural expression. After a decade of service in this field, One Block Down continues to bridge the gap between once-dissonant societies and subcultures, all while constantly innovating and redefining retail and e-commerce concepts.

With a deep appreciation for art and design at the core of its DNA, the theory of beauty, at the root of its Italian heritage, helps tie these touchpoints together with absolute sophistication. By recontextualizing the nostalgic and charging it with a new understanding and vision, One Block Down is articulating a broader sense of the world; a world not defined by the continuum of time, but by its ability to speak to the very heart of the people who constitute it. Allowing those who witnessed the birth of subcultures to relive such moments, all while paving the way for the next generation of culture enthusiasts.

One Block Down is thus set on an entirely unique trajectory, averse to following trends as it directs its attention to understanding cultural legacies and creating new movements. By harmonizing localized phenomena and global sensibilities, One Block Down is creating an inclusive platform by which the next generation can become part of something new and greater, a world characterized by an understanding of the various, constantly evolving nuances that construct the contemporary cultural landscape.

Infinitely connected, One Block Down is designing a theory of subcultures, constructing and reconstructing phenomena for future generations.
