Mesh Shorts Started it

RoxBlog#6. Why Mesh Shorts Are the Heart of Roxas🧭

When I think about style, performance, and authenticity, mesh shorts are always front and center. Growing up in the gym and on the football field, mesh shorts weren’t just a piece of clothing — they were a part of the grind. From early-morning lifts to late-night sprints, they were the uniform of discipline, focus, and hustle. That love never faded. In fact, it became the foundation of **Roxas**.

Aesthetic Meets Legacy

There’s something about mesh and sweat shorts that carries this effortless blend of sport and street. The loose fit. The breathable fabric. The way they hang with just the right amount of casual confidence. Whether you're getting work in on the turf or stepping out in the city, they just *work*. They're versatile, but they also carry this deeper story — one rooted in athletics, performance, and identity.

I saw what brands like **Inaka** and **Eric Emanuel** were doing — bringing gym culture and pro-team energy into streetwear. And I respected it. But I also felt like there was still room to tell *my* version of that story. That’s where Roxas comes in.

Why i had to put my on twist on it.

I didn’t just want to copy what was already out there — I wanted to evolve it. I wanted to put *my* DNA into it. My journey is different. Football shaped me, but so did the grind of juggling multiple jobs, training clients, and staying connected to performance culture off the field. I’ve seen the athlete’s side and the everyday hustle — and I wanted Roxas to reflect both.

I wanted to design mesh shorts that spoke to people who move like me — people who train hard, dream big, and care about how they show up. I wanted more edge, more intention in the details. That’s why every Roxas short is crafted with purpose — premium feel, bold colorways, elevated silhouettes, and that *pro team* essence that makes it feel like you're repping something bigger than just clothes.

The twist is in the *energy*. It’s streetwear with an athlete’s heart. It’s not just about flex — it’s about foundation. About identity. About keeping a piece of that locker room mindset with you, even when you’re out chasing different kinds of goals.

Inspired by the Pros, Made for the Modern Hustler

The aesthetic of pro sports teams has always drawn me in — the bold lettering, the iconic colorways, the sense of pride that comes with wearing a uniform. I wanted to take that energy and remix it into something new. Roxas mesh and sweat shorts pull from that pro sports DNA — varsity fonts, team-inspired palettes — but they carry my story, my roots, and my grind.

More Than Just Shorts

When I started Roxas, mesh shorts were the spark. They were the first thing I dreamed up. Not just because they’re comfortable or trendy — but because they mean something. They represent work ethic, mindset, and movement. They're a nod to the athlete in all of us. But they also represent growth — how we take what shaped us and turn it into something new.

At Roxas, we’re not just creating shorts. We’re building pieces that connect identity, heritage, and style. Every drop tells a story — and mesh shorts will always be our opening chapter.
