MaDE TO BE MOVED.
Has Been Collective is a minimalist streetwear brand built for those who put in the work—whether that’s on the wall, the mountain, and in between. We focus on simple, durable designs that move with you and hold up over time, inspired by athletes, climbers, and the driven ones who keep showing up, day after day.
The name flips the idea of a “has been” on its head. It’s not about being done—it’s about experience. It’s about the falls, the fails, the breakthroughs, and the stories that come with them. To be a has been means you’ve put in the time, earned the scars, and kept going. And that’s something worth wearing.

Has Been Collective is the brainchild of Michael DeStasio, a retired (not really) professional snowboarder and skateboarder. Has Been Collective is more than a brand; it’s a community for both the retired and the relentless. Your passions define your timeline, and the pursuit of them is what makes life fulfilling, rewarding, and everything in between. Own your history—your blood, sweat, and tears. Be proud of where you’ve been and let it fuel where you’re going.The journey never truly ends. We’re honored to share ours with you.
