99Based: The Streetwear Brand Making Waves
If you’ve been scrolling the streetwear sphere lately, you’ve probably bumped into the star: 99Based. Small but unmistakable, the brand blends compact, logo-forward design with practical wardrobe staples — hoodies, T-shirts, jeans and tracksuits — and a very recognizable star motif. This post breaks down who 99Based are, what’s in their latest drops, how to wear the standout pieces (Hoodie, T-Shirt, Jeans, Tracksuit, Zipper), where to buy, and answers the FAQs buyers actually ask. I’ve pulled facts from the brand’s own shop pages and public retail listings so you can shop and style with confidence.
Quick snapshot: who are 99Based?
99Based is a young German streetwear label out of Augsburg that launched in the early 2020s and quickly established itself with a compact aesthetic — easy silhouettes, small logo details, and a “shining star” motif appearing across hoodies, jeans and tees. The brand’s pieces often read modern but wearable: practical cuts, muted palettes, and occasional seasonal pops or camo details. If you like clean streetwear that’s subtly branded (rather than loud logo-mania), 99Based sits squarely in that lane.
The latest collections — what’s new (and worth your attention)
99Based organizes new drops into capsule collections and rotating product families. In recent months the site’s “Daily Garms” selections and product pages have featured updated denim, puffer/outerwear, and several zip-and-logo focused items — notably a range of Logo Zip Hoodies and Field Denim pieces — plus seasonal colorways and a variety of logo tees. The product pages show consistent restocks of hoodies and zipped sweaters, a steady denim program (Field Denim Jeans/Jorts), and logo sweat sets that form the backbone of many drops.
Two practical takeaways from the current drops:
-
Zip-focused pieces are prominent. Multiple “Logo Zip Hoodie” and “Logo Zip Jacket” SKUs are listed across collections, indicating the brand is leaning into zipper styles as core pieces this season.
-
Denim is a stable pillar. Field Denim Jeans and matching jackets (including camo variants) show the label is building an in-house denim language, not just seasonal tees.
The core five pieces — what to know and how to style them
Below I cover the Hoodie, T-Shirt, Jeans, Tracksuit, and Zipper — the exact items you asked to emphasize — with quick styling advice and what to expect from 99Based versions.
Hoodie
99Based hoodies are minimalist but with identifiable details — star logos, distressed or “deconstructed” finishes, and sometimes contrast prints. You’ll find pullover and zip hoodies; the zip hoodies are often listed as “Logo Zip Hoodie” in multiple colors and price tiers. Expect standard streetwear fits (roomy but not clown-sized) and soft mid-weight cotton blends.
Styling Tips:
-
For a casual look: pair a neutral 99Based hoodie with their logo sweatpants or slim cargo pants and chunky sneakers.
-
Layering trick: use a zip hoodie under a puffer or field jacket (their Field Fishtail Parka pairs well with slimmer hoodies).
T-Shirt
The brand offers slim logo tees, polos, and long-sleeve tees in muted tones. These are great as base layers under open zip hoodies or oversized shirts. The Slim Logo T-Shirt shows the brand’s tendency to keep logos tidy and centrally placed rather than oversized.
Styling Tips:
-
Wear a slim logo tee tucked into high-rise jeans for a cleaner silhouette.
-
For layering, slide a tee under an open overshirt or lightweight puffer for contrast.
Jeans
99Based has worked denim into several collections — Field Denim Jeans (including camo washes) and “Shining Stars Jeans” are listed on the site. Their denim leans toward classic street fits: clean lines, subtle hardware, and a star detail or embroidery as the main branding note. Expect mid-weight denim, standard sizing, and occasional specialty washes.
Styling Tips:
-
Raw or camo denim from 99Based pairs well with a monochrome tee and layered hoodie.
-
For contrast, wear cropped or rolled hems with high-top sneakers or derby shoes.
Tracksuit
Logo sweatpants and matching zip jackets appear alongside hoodies in the Daily Garms collection, often with matching colorways (navy, grey melange, camo). The label’s tracksuit pieces are designed for everyday comfort and match perfectly with their logo caps or knitwear.
-
Styling Tips:
Keep the look cohesive: match the logo zip hoodie with the corresponding sweatpants.
-
Dress up a tracksuit by switching sneakers for sleek leather shoes and adding a long wool coat.
Zipper
Zippers are more than closures for 99Based — they’re a stylistic focal point. Their Logo Zip Hoodies and Logo Zip Jackets appear in many colors and materials. Zipper styles let you use pieces as both outer layers and mid layers, which is very practical for transitional weather.
Styling Tips:
-
Use a zip hoodie half-open over a tee to show off layered textures.
-
Opt for camo or contrast zip jackets as statement outerwear over neutral basics.
Sizing, materials, and price expectations
-
Sizing: Most pieces come in standard EU sizes XS–XXL; hoodies and sweatpants typically run true to size for a slouchy street fit. If you prefer fitted looks, consider sizing down. Always check the product page for exact measurements when available.
-
Materials: The site lists cotton knits, mid-weight fleece for hoodies, and standard denim for jeans — expect the usual streetwear blends (cotton/poly mixes). Specific material breakdowns (e.g., 80% cotton/20% polyester) are shown on individual product pages.
-
Price band: 99Based sits in the mid-tier streetwear price range. On storefronts you’ll see tees around €30–€65, hoodies and zippered pieces often priced between €80–€130 (sales vary), and denim/jackets in the €90–€200 window depending on the piece. Prices fluctuate with sales and restocks.
Where to buy (official channels and trusted retailers)
Primary sources:
-
99Based official site / Daily Garms collection — main catalog and current drops. Best for new releases and full size runs.
-
Regional/reseller stores — certain EU boutiques and online shops carry 99Based items (thesourceshop and other small retailers sometimes keep inventory). These shops can be useful for sold-out sizes or limited pieces.
-
Resale platforms — Grailed and other resale sites list older or limited items; good for hunting rarer drops and checking market prices.
Pro tip: follow @99basedlive on Instagram for drop announcements and occasional in-store or anniversary drops — they have used Instagram to share important release dates and events.
Care & longevity (how to keep pieces looking sharp)
-
T-shirts & hoodies: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Avoid high heat in the dryer to preserve prints and reduce shrinkage.
-
Denim: Wash infrequently (spot clean when possible), turn inside out, and use cold water for rinses. Air dry to extend raw denim life.
-
Zippers & hardware: Zip fully and use gentle detergent; check for snagging when layering with metal hardware (belt buckles, chains).
Always consult the care label on the product page or on the garment itself for the manufacturer’s instructions.
Sustainability & production transparency
99Based is an emerging brand; product pages and third-party listings focus primarily on design and silhouette rather than detailed disclosures about factories or sustainability practices. If sustainability certifications are a key buying criterion for you, check the product pages for material content and contact the brand for specifics about manufacturing and supply chain practices. Reseller and third-party retailer listings rarely include deep transparency details, so direct contact with the brand is the quickest route to clarity.
Collaborations, drops & hype moments
99Based operates like many contemporary street labels: limited drops, colorway rotations, and occasional in-store or anniversary releases. Their social channels are the primary place for event updates — e.g., an anniversary drop announcement that was posted on Instagram signaling timed drops and special collections. If a piece catches your eye, it pays to follow the brand on social for release timing.
FAQs
Q: Are 99Based pieces true to size?
A: Generally yes for standard streetwear fits; hoodies and tracksuits are intended with a relaxed fit. If you want a slim look, size down. Check the specific product measurements on the listing.
Q: Do they ship internationally?
A: The official shop and several reseller stores ship internationally, but shipping policies and costs vary by retailer. Check the checkout or shipping policy on the product site you’re using.
Q: Where can I find authentic 99Based pieces?
A: Buy from the brand’s official site or authorized retailers to guarantee authenticity. Resale platforms can carry real pieces but verify seller ratings and photos. Official product pages and consistent brand tags are good authenticity indicators.
Q: Are there regular sales?
A: Yes. The brand’s online shops and authorized resellers show seasonal discounts and sale pages (you’ll find marked prices on several items). If you’re patient, sales often bring down hoodies and zip pieces significantly.
Q: Do 99Based items hold up over time?
A: With standard care (cold wash, air dry when possible), cotton and denim staples should hold up comparably to other mid-tier streetwear brands. Heavier outerwear pieces like parkas or puffer jackets require more careful storage and gentle cleaning. Product durability varies by item and manufacturing batch
