Made for Stunters. By Stunters.
This is more than clothing inspired by stunt culture. This brand was built from inside it.
The Origin
KONDEMNED was founded in Rochester, New York, in 2026—born through stunt riding, bike builds, garage nights, ride-outs and a growing community brought together by motorcycles.
At nineteen, founder Vlad began building the brand without investors, a large team or a blueprint to follow. It grew one ride, one video, one shirt and one real connection at a time.
The goal was never simply to put a logo on clothing. It was to build something that represented the riders around us—the people putting in work behind closed doors, helping each other finish builds, showing up for the weekly rides and pushing one another to become better.
What started locally is becoming something larger: a streetwear brand, a media platform and a community built around the culture we genuinely live.
What KONDEMNED Means
Riding isn’t just something we do when it’s convenient. For many of us, it becomes part of who we are.
Being KONDEMNED to the ride means accepting everything that comes with it: the freedom, the risk, the work, the failures, the rebuilds and the people you meet along the way.
It means falling without staying down.
It means continuing when other people don’t understand why you started.
It means knowing that setbacks are part of the story—not the end of it.
KONDEMNED means getting back up.
Built Through Community
Friday-night rides became places where different riders, bikes and backgrounds could come together. Garage work became an opportunity to share knowledge and help people get their machines back on the road. Cameras captured the moments, but the community gave those moments meaning.
KONDEMNED exists for the stunters, builders, filmmakers, photographers, passengers, supporters and everyone helping move the culture forward.
No rider builds alone. Neither did this brand.
More Than Clothing
Every KONDEMNED piece comes from something real: a ride, a phrase, a moment, a lesson or a part of the culture we want to carry forward.
The clothing is how people take that identity with them beyond the bike. It represents the late nights, the scraped cages, the unfinished builds, the streets, the friendships and the commitment required to keep progressing.
You don’t have to be the best rider in the group to belong here. You only need respect for the culture and the willingness to keep moving forward.
Getting Back Up
The meaning behind KONDEMNED became even more real when a motorcycle crash put Vlad into a guardrail, left him in a wheelchair and took him off the bike for at least a month.
The bike survived because the cages took the impact. The helmet took the hit to the back of his head. His Cardo alerted his emergency contact with his location. The people around him responded immediately.
The crash didn’t create the meaning of KONDEMNED—it revealed it.
Going down was one moment. Getting back up became the next chapter.
The recovery, the return to the garage and eventually the return to riding are now part of the same story the brand has represented from the beginning.
The Standard
We care about more than how a product looks in a mockup.
Every release is reviewed for its fit, feel, print placement and how it works within the lifestyle it represents. Samples are worn and checked before products are released because the people supporting KONDEMNED deserve clothing we are proud to stand behind.
The brand is still growing, learning and improving with every drop. We would rather build something honestly than pretend it became perfect overnight.
Where We’re Going
Rochester will always be part of the foundation, but the vision reaches far beyond one city.
The goal is to build KONDEMNED into a worldwide motorcycle and stunt brand while protecting what made it matter in the first place: real riders, real stories and a real community.
We want to create clothing, media, events and opportunities that bring people together and help push the culture forward.
No matter how large KONDEMNED becomes, it will always be built from the same place—from riders who understand the work, the risk and the reason we keep coming back.
This Is KONDEMNED
For the people who have fallen before.
For the people rebuilding right now.
For the people nobody understood.
For the riders who keep showing up.
Built in Rochester. Made for the culture. Driven by community.
