continuing the legacy
CORE was founded by Thomas B. Meade Jr. (Crittenton, Pittsburgh PA) and a small group of visionaries who believed that greatness begins from within.
What started more than fifteen years ago as an idea evolved into a lifestyle, a movement, and a commitment to staying true to who we are at our core.
In June of 2020, our journey changed forever when we lost Tommy. The pain was unimaginable. We faced loss, depression, broken relationships, and moments when it seemed like everything around us was falling apart. Yet through every challenge, one thing remained unchanged—the vision.
The vision Tommy left behind became our foundation. It became the fuel that kept us moving forward when giving up would have been easier. It reminded us that purpose is stronger than circumstance and that legacy lives on through action.
Today, CORE represents resilience, creativity, and the courage to build something greater than ourselves. Every collection is a reflection of our journey, our future, and the people who inspired it.
This is more than apparel.
This is personal.
This is futuristic.
This is legendary.
To Tommy and Bryson, your legacy continues to inspire every step we take. We carry your vision with us as we push CORE toward the future you imagined.
Forever remembered. Forever loved.
To The CORE.
