By Jerome Johnson Verified| The TRiiBE Verified There are two dope pieces of Derrick Rose merch in the streets right now, and they’re made by 36-year-old South Side native Demarco Sams. He’s the CEO and designer behind the brand, Everybody Eats Apparel. Sams, who goes by “Marco,” is one of Rose’s closest friends; they grew up together. Growing up in Chicago, Rose and Sams had a close knit group of friends. “We didn’t care who had what between us. You know what I mean? As long as I have it, you would never go without it,” Sams told The TRiiBE.
By Jerome Johnson Verified| The TRiiBE Verified Michael Cox is on a mission to spread positivity through fashion. His streetwear brand, SoGo, uplifts Chicago’s undeniable contributions to pop culture, sports and more. “There’s just a lot of stuff that goes on in this country that can’t be told without Chicago,” Cox told The TRiiBE. According to Cox, when it comes to sports and fashion in particular, Chicago cannot be left out of the conversation. “I feel like SoGo was a way to do that,” he said. Cox’s brand has a beautiful simplicity to it.
