Where fandom meets fashion.

CARBON CORE is an officially licensed streetwear label based in Calgary, Canada. Since 2017, we’ve been bridging the gap between anime, gaming, fandom, and fashion, making garments that celebrate the worlds people love and still stand up as statement pieces on their own.

Every collection looks a little different because every IP is different. The common thread is a look rooted in workwear, military, and motorsport aesthetics.

How we work

Every collection is made in collaboration with the rights holder, with each piece approved before it gets to you. We put our garments through multiple rounds of sampling and testing to make sure they’re pieces you’ll actually want to wear, not just collect.

Our drops tend to sell out fast, so many of them are available as pre-orders. This gives you a chance to secure yours before it’s gone, and you can keep an eye on its progress through our pre-order tracker.
