Founded in 2014 by Shane Gonzales at just 19 years old, Midnight Studios was born out of pure rebellion and late-night creative sparks. Built on the raw edges of punk music, skate culture, and the DIY ethos, the brand started in a small California town and quickly carved out its space in the global streetwear conversation.

Our name comes from the haunting jazz tones of Miles Davis’ “Round About Midnight” and captures the essence of when our real work begins—after dark, when the world quiets down and the chaos in our minds takes over. Midnight Studios is less about fashion and more about feeling—unfiltered, loud, and unapologetically real.

We fuse youth street culture and punk heritage into anti-aesthetic statements, hand-built through a cut-and-paste mindset. Our collections feature raw graphics, bold slogans like “Midnight,” “Teenage Prayer,” and “Piss Off,” and a signature monochrome palette that says more by saying less.

With collaborations ranging from Off-White ℅ , led by Virgil Abloh, to AWGE and The Rolling Stones, we continue to push boundaries, disrupt norms, and stay rooted in the underground spirit that started it all.

We’re not here to please. We’re here to provoke.
