Our Story

The Intersection of Sport and Luxury

Founded in 2015, Eric Emanuel is a New York-based lifestyle brand that has redefined the boundaries of contemporary sportswear. What began as a personal quest to create the perfect pair of shorts has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon, bridging the gap between the basketball courts of the past and the high-fashion runways of today.
At the heart of the brand is the iconic interlocking “EE” logo—a symbol of authenticity, quality, and a deep-rooted love for athletic heritage.

The New York Standard

We take immense pride in our roots. Unlike many modern labels that outsource production, Eric Emanuel remains committed to the New York City garment district. By keeping our manufacturing local, we ensure that every garment—from our signature mesh shorts to our heavyweight fleece—is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. This “Made in USA” ethos isn’t just a label; it is a commitment to supporting local craftsmanship and maintaining the highest standards of quality.

The Icon: More Than Just Mesh

While we are globally recognized as the “King of Mesh,” our collections represent a full lifestyle aesthetic. Our flagship Mesh Shorts revolutionized streetwear with their custom-developed fabrics, unique color palettes, and the perfect 5-inch inseam.
Beyond the shorts, our seasonal collections feature:
    • Elevated Basics: Heavyweight hoodies and sweatpants designed for both durability and comfort.
    • Strategic Collaborations: Exclusive partnerships with giants like Adidas, New Era, and various collegiate programs that celebrate the history of sport.
    • Limited Editions: From floral prints to high-gloss satins, we constantly push the boundaries of what athletic apparel can be.

Exclusivity and Community

The Eric Emanuel experience is built on the thrill of the “Drop.” We operate under an extreme-scarcity model, releasing limited-run collections every Friday at 12 PM EST. This approach ensures that every piece you own is a rare fragment of streetwear history.
Our community is our backbone. From professional athletes and global icons to the kids playing pickup games in the city, the Eric Emanuel family is united by a shared appreciation for effortless, nostalgic, and undeniably bold style.
