Shoebox Mentality is a young upstart company from Toronto, Canada making waves in the street wear market for their grass roots movement and glittering sweatshirt prints.
Shoebox Mentality has been in business since 2008, but has recently popped up on hip hop heavyweights like Jadakiss, French Montana and Styles P as well as rising Canadian star Peter Jackson.
They're signature product is a line of fully customizable sweaters featuring their main print which reads "Shoebox Mentality." Customers can log on to the website and choose their own color combinations, sizes and styles. The sweaters are printed and tagged by the owners themselves and delivered in a timely fashion.
Shoebox Mentality also offers a line of winter hats, tank tops and t-shirts.
