Inside V4: The Bronx Streetwear Brand Built on Family, Business, Crime
Share
V4 is a New York-based streetwear brand rooted in the underworlds of family, business and crime. Born in the Bronx and founded in 2014 by artist Michael Ventresca, V4 is influenced by secret societies and organized crime, drawing on imagery of illegal activity and the facades that hide it. Each drop is crafted in limited quantities, never restocked, and made for those who live by the code. Discover what it means to wear the legacy.
The name “V4” carries a deeper meaning: four inverted V’s form two M’s — a visual nod to the concept of “Made Men,” symbolizing a code of loyalty, secrecy, and an unbreakable bond. Made Men are inducted into an inner circle — protected, respected, and bound by blood to the family.
V4 goes beyond underworld influence. Rooted in crime family traditions, the brand also channels the true pulse of New York City — from the streets to the skateparks, from bodegas to business fronts, V4 speaks to those who move in silence and live with purpose. Each design acts as a lens, capturing the grit and culture that define New York’s urban lifestyle. Explore the culture that shapes every piece.
Built like a crime family, V4 operates with precision and intention. It’s not just a clothing line — it’s a system. From heavyweight tees, hoodies, and crewnecks to ski masks, beanies, snapbacks, and other urban apparel, each collection reflects the grit of New York’s five boroughs.
Every piece is crafted in small quantities — never mass produced. No restocks. No second chances. Each drop is exclusive, high quality, and built for all seasons and all boroughs. Shop exclusive drops and limited supply streetwear designed to stand out.
At its core, V4 is an exclusive brand crafted for those who value quality and authenticity. With limited drops and no restocks, the brand stays true to the codes that inspired it. When you wear V4, you’re not just wearing streetwear — you’re stepping into the inner circle. Always remember: never take sides against the family.
