Chinatown Market

Chinatown Market is a streetwear brand founded in 2016 by Mike Cherman, known for its playful designs, bold graphics, and community-driven creativity. Rooted in the spirit of New York’s Canal Street, the brand celebrates the culture of hustle, humor, and self-expression that defines urban life. Its name pays homage to the vibrant street markets where authenticity and imitation coexist as part of creative exchange.

Known for its smiley-face logo and tongue-in-cheek designs, Chinatown Market merges nostalgia, pop culture, and street fashion with a DIY sensibility. The brand gained widespread recognition through collaborations with major names like Converse, Nike, and the NBA, while also emphasizing accessibility and individuality.

Now operating under the name Market, the brand continues to represent the next generation of streetwear — inclusive, experimental, and rooted in cultural awareness. Chinatown Market stands as a reminder that creativity thrives in community, where ideas, style, and humor intersect to shape modern expression.
