All About The Brand
I never knew Shopify existed! What led me to this platform? What led me to start a clothing brand? My father passed away in 2011 from cancer and I always wanted to find someway to honor him. He drove 18 wheelers for over 30 years. I thought about starting a trucking company once I retire from the Navy. My mind was all over the place!
Fast forward to 31Mar19 when an artist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and father by the name of Ermias Ashgedom know by his stage name Nipsey Hussle was senselessly murdered outside of his Marathon Clothing store on W Slauson Ave. It felt like I lost a brother! Like Nip, I also do music. I wanted to start a clothing line, but didn't know where to start and honestly the inspiration wasn't there, or at least I thought it wasn't.
After months of watching interviews on Nip and still thinking of a way to honor my pops, I came up with the name Time to Shift Clothing. Honoring my father and his career and impact that he had on me and a young brother that went against the grain, stayed focused and committed and eventually purchased the lot that he was attached to since his younger days to turn it into the Marathon Clothing Store and several other stores that he owned as well.

The Meaning of Shift
Shift comes from the trips I took with my dad in his 18 wheeler . I was obsessed with the way he shifted through those gears, hitting the splitter, going high and low! Also, having served and still currently serving in the world's finest Navy for over 22 years, we use acronyms ALL THE TIME! A lot of our designs you'll see are acronyms with powerful meaning.
The “S” stands for Sacrifice. Are you willing to Sacrifice time, sleep, partying, or friends to achieve your goals and change your current situation if you’re in a less favorable place in life?
