About Us
Black Knowledge Wear was created from a deep fascination with Black American history — the kind that isn’t always taught in schools or celebrated in textbooks. What started as a personal journey to uncover the rich, complex, and often overlooked stories of Black excellence became a mission to share that knowledge through design.
Founder and creator Rob Scott wanted to understand the brilliance, struggle, and achievements of our people beyond what was offered in textbooks and mainstream narratives.
That curiosity turned into a mission to uncover, honor, and showcase our true history. As time went on and history began to be erased or rewritten, this realization lit a fire. We decided to stand for something more than fashion. We committed to building an apparel brand rooted in truth, pride, and education.. What started as an exploration became a platform — a way to preserve the culture through fashion.
Our Mission
At Black Knowledge Wear, we’re more than just a fashion brand — we’re cultural storytellers. Our mission is to:
Honor Black excellence
Educate through design
Preserve history through apparel
Celebrate our shared legacy with pride
We’re committed to making clothing that speaks volumes without saying a word — designs that start conversations, spark learning, and remind us that Black history is more than a month — it’s a lifetime of legacy.
The Brand
This is not just streetwear — it’s statement wear. Our collections span everything from historic “firsts,” inventors, and Black legends to the roots of Black music, HBCU pride, and family heritage.
Every garment is designed with intention, accuracy, and soul. Whether it’s a hoodie, crewneck, jacket, or jogger — when you wear Black Knowledge Wear, you’re not just showing style…
You’re showing where you stand.
The Creator
Rob Scott, founder and creative force behind Black Knowledge Wear, is a New York-based designer, roller skater, DJ, and cultural curator. With decades of experience in art, and design, Rob created this brand as a personal extension of his creative mission: to tell the stories that were left out — and to do it with style and soul.
Whether through his eBooks, skate culture apparel line Original Rollers, or his educational content series From Chains to Change, Rob’s passion is consistent: celebrating Black history as living, breathing, and undeniably powerful.
