A NEW APPROACH TO STREETWEAR WITH RESPECT TO THE BREAKIN’ COMMUNITY
Mission and vision statement
Giving back to Breakin’
Our mission is to unite like-minded authentic Breakin’ brands to collaborate and strive under one roof, through an alliance that provides a vast arsenal of break-wear for Bboys & Bgirls thus take back ownership of being the trendsetters in global streetwear fashion.
Starting out with 6 Breakin’’ brands from the Breakin’ community, OBBA strivse to continuously provide diverse apparel that is geared for Breakin’, with the goal of giving back to the Breakin’ culture, community
— and soon the rest of the world.
Unlike corporate sports brads, OBBA envisions the use of “mix and match” with various Breakin’ brands rather than discouraging it.
Together we seek to build an ark that will stand the test of time, creating a sustainable eco-system and healthy Breakin’’ industry where the major sports brands can’t exploit the culture and abandon the culture again.
We believe in mapping out a system where continuous support goes in both directions: for our association and our supporters. We recognize the individual’s talent and skills and want to acknowledge their hard work through incentives when they represent in our gear and we aim to support local Breakin’ scenes in third-world countries by providing them opportunities to showcase their hidden talents to the rest of the Breakin’ community.
We visualize a world where Breakin’ brands will view each other as allies and enable us to support our Breakin’ community and culture through our unified alliance for a sustainable Breakin’ future, for a healthy Bboy & Bgirl culture = a healthy Breakin’’ Business.

The Brands
The Legits brand, is a global movement of many trades, ranging from their prestigious streetwear line, World Championship Breakin events, top-tier video production, and more. The Legits live by their motto, “Passion Dictates Action,” galvanizing the idea that people should go the extra mile and follow their dreams.
In 2021, The Legits was approached by other Breakin brands to help found the OBBA alliance that could accomplish what many others have unsuccessfully tried to do; unite the Breakin scene and community for the survival of future generations.
Instilled in creating a sustainable eco-system by the late Mex One, The Legits was thrilled to have found other Breakin brands who are on the same mindset and frequency — a force that could change the Bboy & Bgirl culture for the better.
Since 2013, The Legits focused on developing a premium lifestyle brand, producing and designing top-tier apparel that can be rocked at after-parties and everyday life. They also sponsored their renowned group The Legits Clan, a family of artists pushing the brand’s movement and mission around the globe. As members of the Breakin community, they recognize what is considered fresh in the subculture of Breakin — realizing that only bboys and bgirls could truly understand what the Breakin community needs.
Mainly consisting of practitioners of the Bboy & Bgirl culture, The Legits team has collaborated with Red Bull, renowned Hip Hop artists, and other notable organizations. They also organize their annual prestigious Breakin event series The Legits Blast in Slovakia and Czech Republic with 80+ countries participating. In 2022, The Legits Foundation was established to provide support for the Ukraine bboys and bgirls during the war — building up their business portfolio even beyond the Breakin spectrum.
The Legits movement is an exemplar of following your passions, establishing a movement that inspires Bboys and Bgirls globally through their many trades.
Creating an inspired and motivated Breakin community through their various platforms, they strive to keep repping and building the Breakin culture and community
— for future generations to come.
First Class is a premium Breakin clothing brand, fabricating top-notch apparel for the global Breakin scene. First Class aims to not only create Breakin apparel for the Breakin community — but to make First Class a franchise name to the rest of the world.
In 2021, First Class co-initiated OBBA to form a Breakin brands alliance to strive under one roof. They envision a future of creating a sustainable ecosystem where major sports brands can’t capitalize on the Breakin culture and escape again. First Class plans to tackle this issue head-on with their newly founded alliance — to save and protect the Breakin culture and community for future generations to come.
Since 2015, First Class has produced and designed jogger outfits, embroidered shirts, hats, and durags for the Breakin community to feel invincible in and out of the dance floor. Their sponsored team consists of bboys and bgirls outside of the US, for them to rock with their First Class gear in battles and cyphers around the globe. First Class provides various clothing lines such as God Level, Space Class, and Break Sport Athletics — numerous arsenals all under the First Class umbrella. First Class revolutionized a premium Breakin clothing brand for the Breakin culture by truly understanding what the community needs to rock fresh in.
First Class was founded by Bboy Flea Rock, a world-class bboy since 1993 and has won international battles all around the world. He first had his fashion epiphany while wearing a polo shirt and thought, “I don’t play polo, why am I wearing a polo player on my chest?” Thus, his iconic Toprock silhouette logo was born. Flea Rock is not only a professional bboy and clothing brand founder but has also branched out to acting — and even rapping under the name Nike Messiah.
First Class envisages a world where their franchise name would be spread across the globe. From merchandises, record labels, academies, and world-class jams, they strive to execute their plans to their highest ability. A world where First Class is influential and authentic to the Breakin culture and community — but also a transcendent and prestigious brand to the rest of society.
Cyphercode is a Breakin fashion line, designing and producing collections for the global Breakin scene. With a vast assortment of apparel to select from, Cyphercode’s mission is to provide the tools for bboys and bgirls to “find their answer” even beyond the Breakin spectrum.
In 2021, Cypherode joined the OBBA realizing that their values are aligned — to create a sustainable eco-system that will benefit the Breakin scene as a whole. Cyphercode strives to inspire other Breakin Brands to do the same, to give back to the community as an alliance — rather than going solo.
Since 2013, Cyphercode has designed shirts, caps, tracksuits, and other apparel that they labeled as the Brand New Old School look. They sponsored world-class bboys and bgirls around the globe to rock their gear to support their dreams — setting the example of how a Breakin fashion line should give back to the Breakin community. With Breakin gear created by bboys, Cyphercode understands what bboys and bgirls need in order to represent the Breakin community the right way.
Cyphercode is a worldwide cultural movement that originated in Japan. Their products were inspired by a lifestyle deeply rooted in the art of bboying and elements of the Hip Hop culture. Beyond their clothing line, they have expanded to organizing their notorious event SuperBreak in Kawasaki since 2018.
Cyphercode is more than just a Breakin fashion line, it’s a code. When people rock their gear beyond the Breakin realm, they are one step closer to “finding their answer.” Under the alliance with OBBA, they promise to continually produce and design new collections, give back to the Breakin community, and guide people to follow their dreams — one step closer to the one.
Funk and Furious is a Ukraine-based clothing brand that fabricates minimalistic apparel for the Breakin and global community. With their seasonal drops throughout the years, they continuously strive to design clothing for people to live their own life — the funk and furious way.
Funk and Furious knew all the members of OBBA prior to the association through the Breakin community. With their established trust and bonds, the formation of OBBA was nothing out of the ordinary — but a natural course of growth. Breakin has been continually evolving throughout the decades, and it’s just about time for Breakin brands to do the same.
The idea of Funk and Furious as a streetwear brand emerged in 2008 after a group of Ukrainian Hip Hop activists, bboys, and artists “Ruffneck Attack” started a series of music events in Ukraine named “Funk and Furious.” Since 2012, they have produced tracksuits, track pants, hats, and more apparel that can be matched easily with their minimalistic designs. Unlike shirts with gigantic prints, Funk and Furious focus on nanoscopic details such as colors, fabrics, and texture. All of their products have been tested for comfortability whether for everyday use or Breakin — by one of the greatest Breakin figures of all time.
Bboy Intact is the founder of Funk and Furious and has been a world-class bboy representing his crew “Ruffneck Attack” since 2000. Intact is also an entrepreneur, Breakin teacher, and the manager of the WDSF Ukraine Breakin team. The Funk and Furious team consist of 2 other bboys that help out with logistics and designs.
The word Funk represents the rhythm of life, while Furious represents the fire of an individual’s attitude. Funk and Furious hopes to uplift people to feel the rhythm of their life and do it with passion. A Breakin brand that encourages people to go full throttle in their passions — and to ride on the Funk and Furious lifestyle.

Since 2019, Dyzee Threadz utilizes felt and thermoplastic rubber materials to assemble the most functional, comfortable and lightweight Breakin shoe to date. Traditional sports shoes aren’t only bulky, heavy, and prone to cramps, but also compromise a breaker’s full potential on the dance floor. With a wide variety of colorways for these made for Breakin’ shoes, a breaker is able to perform complex footwork patterns with non-slip outsoles and execute gravity-defying movements with high-impact insoles — all equipped with exceptional comfortability.
