Cash Only — Originally launched in 2018 by Garth Mariano and Matt Evans (the same founders behind Butter Goods and Lo-Fi), Cash Only evolved from a distribution company into its own full-fledged skate and streetwear brand. 

What Defines Cash Only

• Nostalgic 90s Vibes: The brand name itself is a throwback to when stores only took cash. Their graphics pull heavily from the golden age of skateboarding, hip-hop, and pre-internet pop culture.

• Authentic Skate Roots: Cash Only is rooted in genuine skate culture — their clothing, decks, and videos channel the look and feel of 90s VX1000 footage, saggy pants, and the era’s energy.

• High-Quality, Retro Construction: Their product lineup includes heavyweight tees, baggy denim, hoodies, caps, and skateboard decks — all made with an appreciation for vintage quality.

• Hip-Hop & Pop Cultural Homage: Their design aesthetic references classic rap labels and iconic 90s iconography, not just for style but as a real tribute to that era. 

• Collaborative Mindset: Cash Only has teamed up with other streetwear/skate brands, including DC Shoes, to drop co-branded collections that lean into their signature retro style.

Why We Respect Cash Only

Cash Only appeals to skaters and streetwear fans who are into authenticity, cultural reverence, and old-school style. It's not just clothes — it's a homage to a time when skate culture, hip-hop, and VHS tapes meant everything, and Cash Only does it in a way that feels genuine, not gimmicky.
