HOW WE STARTED

Author Tosin Yusuf  |  Photography Aaliyah Blakely

My name is Tosin Yusuf.
Lived my early years in one of the most populated cities in Africa — a place alive with ambition, but where dreams often felt too heavy to carry.
Where believing in something bigger for yourself could feel like carrying an invisible burden.
Where survival sometimes crushed even the strongest visions.

Still, I dreamed.
After graduating from engineering school in 2014, I carried a bold vision:
to solve one of the world's greatest challenges.

But as the years passed, reality blurred that vision.
Obstacles multiplied.
The noise of doubt grew louder.
There were moments when the dream seemed so distant that it was easier to stop chasing it.

Still, something deeper held on — faith, belief, and the stubborn light of vision.

In 2019, armed with nothing but prayer, purpose, and perseverance, I moved alone to Germany.
Far from home.
Far from certainty.
Carrying nothing but a fading dream and a heart still full of hope.

I doubted.
I stumbled.
But I still moved.

One step at a time, faith became my map.
Vision became my anchor.

Today, I work with one of the world's leading equipment manufacturers — walking in spaces that once only existed in my imagination.
Proof that what feels impossible today can be reality tomorrow.

But this story isn't just about me.
It’s about you.
About every young visionary who feels their dream is too big for their environment.
About every soul who refuses to settle for the life handed to them.
About those who dare to believe, even when the odds say otherwise.

VSNTRYBE was born to light your path.
To remind you that beginnings don’t define destinies.
That what blurs today will shine tomorrow — if you just keep moving.

The Movement: VSNTRYBE

VSNTRYBE is more than fashion. It's more than a streetwear.
It’s armour for the dreamers.
It’s a rallying cry for the believers.
It’s a banner for the ones who dare to start — and who refuse to quit.

Every piece we create carries the DNA of resilience.
Of faith over fear.
Of belief over doubt.
Of vision over circumstance.

You are not alone in your journey.
You are part of a tribe — a VSNTRYBE — who move, build, and rise together.

Start where you are.
Move with vision.
Rise with us.

As a VSNTRYBER;

Your beginning is not your limit.
Your doubt is not your downfall.
Your dream is still valid — and it's still waiting for you.

If you’re wearing our shirt, you believe in this movement.
You’ve made a decision:

  • To never let yourself down.
  • To keep moving forward.
  • To support your own vision.
  • To support every visionary fighting for their future.
  • To support us, and the spirit of VSNTRYBE.

And for that, from the bottom of my heart — I thank you.

Welcome to the Tribe.
Start the Vision.
Live the Rise.
