About

TH1RT3N is a cultural project born from the friendship of two U.S. professional volleyball players and a shared ambition: to connect the sport they love with the wider world. Existing between sport, fashion and contemporary culture, TH1RT3N gives volleyball a visual language equal to its influence. More than performance wear, it is a system of design and storytelling built around the people, movement and culture of the game.

Our brand unifies the global sport and distinguishes it with its own sense of style. Our collections are designed for life around the sport—from competition and training to travel and everyday life. Because movement is not something we switch on and off. It is a way of living.

TH1RT3N shapes a visual world around the sport: one that feels artistic, relevant, fresh and globally connected. Inspired by niche cultural movements rather than traditional sportswear, the brand builds a space where athletes, creatives and communities can connect through shared vision, stories and style.

TH1RT3N was founded by Benjamin Patch and Taylor Averill — friends, U.S. National Team athletes shaped by life inside professional volleyball.
