What makes a brand sell memories instead of merchandise? Mike Brevik sits down with Mark Jaworski from HOMAGE Apparel to find out. Since 2007, HOMAGE has built a cult following by tapping into the emotional power of sports, pop culture, and the things people grew up loving, from Starter jackets to vintage NBA logos.
The conversation covers why nostalgia is picking up speed across generations, how the analog era made retro culture feel rare and real, and how HOMAGE uses storytelling as its primary filter for every product decision. If you have ever felt that gut-punch of seeing an old jersey for the first time in years, this episode is for you.
