Here at 21.15.NINE we create art that's functional and comfortable - inspired by those forging elite fitness. Born from Melbourne, Australia, 21.15.NINE begun as a crowd funding campaign by Designer Carlz J Söda in 2013. Bored with cheesy and cliche snatch puns, Carlz knew the WODing community wanted and needed much more from their apparel. Something distinctive and edgy, that captures the spirit of the athlete. What better medium for self expression than the humble wardrobe staple, the T-shirt.
Within six months 21.15.NINE has set itself apart as a game changer in elite fitness apparel. We grew from a community of support, achieving our crowd funding campaign target of $10,000 within 3 months. Recruiting friends and fellow athletes, Amber Degelia and Angie Demeray, Carlz hit the market with a stellar team and a range of limited edition tees which sold out with in a week. Street art and WOD culture inspire us, and 21.15.NINE is a reflection of the Australian WODing community.
At the heart of every WOD Athlete, is a hunger to excel - to achieve the impossible. We are driven by an innate desire to live, superlative.
