Bronze 56K — Founded in New York City by skaters and filmmakers Peter Sidlauskas and Pat Murray, Bronze 56K started as a hardware brand in 2012. The name is a throwback to the 56k dial-up modem, a nod to early internet nostalgia and the brand’s lo-fi, glitchy aesthetic.

What Makes Bronze 56K Unique

• Underground Skate Roots: Their origins are deeply rooted in raw, DIY skate videos filmed around NYC — think gritty spots, VHS-style edits, and early-internet visuals.

• Retro-Tech Design: Their apparel often features pixelated graphics, dial-up modems, pop-up windows, and other 90s/early-2000s tech iconography.

• Authentic Apparel Line: Beyond hardware, Bronze now offers a full streetwear collection — T-shirts, hoodies, cut-and-sew pieces, hats, and more.

• Creative Collabs: They've partnered with big names like Palace, HUF, and Reebok, bringing their distinct East Coast, internet-inspired style to wider audiences.

• Skate Culture Reimagined: Their content — videos like Solo Jazz and Trust — blends humor, surreal editing, and irreverence.

Why We Love Them
