Famous Stars and Straps

Famous Stars and Straps (or simply Famous) is an American clothing and accessory line created by Travis Barker on December 8, 1999, best known for being the drummer in the band blink-182. The company is based in Ontario, California. The brand was originally conceptualized as a lifestyle brand left up to the consumer’s interpretation.

Famous Stars And Straps clothing is influenced by music genres such as punk rock and hip hop. Since their initial boom, Famous has become a respected brand in the skate, BMX, and motorcycle arenas with sponsored riders like Rick Thorne, Dave Dillewaard, and Luis Tolentino repping the FSAS Family far and wide. Their F logo, known as their Badge of Honor, has quickly become synonymous with the brand, referring to not just Famous, their namesake, but the core concepts of their brand like Family or Forever.

Based in Ontario, California, Famous specializes in tees, jackets, hats, and other accessories, but they've recently branched out to sneakers with their FMS shoe line. These low-tops and hi-tops showcase a wide variety of styles and influences, but they've all received the royal Famous treatment, offering up a bold and distinct look that's unmistakably FMS.

After over a decade in the making, Famous Stars and Straps has made a name for itself, creating an identifiable lifestyle icon symbolized by one letter: F. Famous Stars and Straps isn't exclusive to one type of person - Famous is for everyone. No matter who you are, where you live, or who you identify with, you can still be part of the Famous Family.
