The Import Crate Authorized Retail Network was built around years of real-world retail experience, refinement, and learning what actually works long-term.
This is not a franchise, consignment model, or traditional wholesale approach.
The goal is to work with a select number of retailers that align with the presentation, culture, and customer experience behind the brand — allowing them to operate curated Import Crate retail sections inside their own stores.
We’re currently accepting applications for a limited number of retailers during the initial rollout.
Applications are open nationwide, with early focus placed on the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

ARN information and inquiry links can be found in the website footer.
Most shirts try too hard.
Loud graphics. Random designs. No direction.
This isn’t that.
Sakura Road was built to feel different.
Something you notice without it trying to get your attention.
Part of a full set.

The past couple weeks have honestly been kind of hectic for the Fresh Box section.
Between back-to-back car shows, online orders, waiting on shipments, and now getting ready for Clean Culture Houston @clean_culture this weekend… some of the shelves started looking way emptier than usual.
We finally got part of the shipment in yesterday, so today was mostly spent restocking shelves, reorganizing inventory, and catching everything back up again.
Things are finally starting to look normal again, and we already have more inventory coming next week too.
What started as a single retail setup has gradually evolved into something much larger.
Over the years, we’ve had performance shops, detail studios, automotive businesses, lifestyle retailers, and enthusiast-focused stores ask about bringing Import Crate into their own space.
So instead of simply creating another wholesale program, we built something more intentional:
The Import Crate Authorized Retail Network.
The network allows selected businesses to host official Import Crate retail sections within their existing store environment using curated products, merchandising guidance, and approved brand presentation designed to create a recognizable Import Crate retail experience.
The Import Crate retail experience was developed through years of operating inside high-traffic retail environments, automotive events, and enthusiast-focused spaces.
The goal is not simply to place products inside stores, but to create visually intentional retail sections that reflect the presentation, atmosphere, and brand experience associated with Import Crate.
This is not a franchise or generic wholesale program.
We are currently reviewing select businesses for the pilot rollout phase.

A lot of people don’t realize our shirt designs rotate constantly.
Some designs disappear quietly once certain sizes sell out.
Sakura Road is the newest release right now, but a few sizes are already starting to move.
A few weeks ago at FuelFest, our booth car was an RX-7 FC.
While we were there, we had a few people come up asking if we had an FC poster.
At the time, we only had the FD.
Nobody had really asked us for an FC before, so with how many cars we already had lined up for the artist, it honestly just slipped our mind.
But after FuelFest, once we realized multiple people were asking for it, we immediately pushed the FC into the artist queue.
Then the other day, someone came into the shop looking for an FC poster for his friend.
That was the moment we knew we made the right call putting it into production.
The artwork just came in, and now the FC poster is finally here at the shop.
If you were the one asking about it before Friday, it’s ready now.

These sold out fast at Houston Auto Show.
People saw the Import Crate shirts, wanted them, and when their size was gone—we had to ship it to them.
That’s what happens when the right crowd sees it.
These designs are rooted in real car culture—the kind of details you only notice if you’re actually part of the scene.
Not everyone sees it.
But the ones who do, know exactly why they want it.
That’s why it sells out.
Available at our shop and online.
