LRG
LRG (Lifted Research Group) is a streetwear brand founded in 1999 by Jonas Bevacqua and Robert Wright in Southern California. Rooted in skateboarding, hip-hop, and outdoor culture, LRG is known for graphic-heavy designs and its iconic tree-and-arrow logo, which symbolizes growth and upward movement. Its relevance in early 2000s streetwear comes from blending underground hip-hop artists with skate culture, creating apparel that resonated with youth seeking authentic urban expression. Fans return for LRG’s storytelling approach, which often spotlights emerging creatives and integrates social messages, setting it apart from typical streetwear labels.
