Who We Are
MOB — Mafia of Baptiste — is a Houston-based cultural ecosystem built on the belief that mafia means family. We create at the intersection of streetwear, media, and community.
Founded by Wayne Baptiste, MOB isn't just a clothing brand. It's a lifestyle system where every piece of content is proof the culture exists — not promo. Every garment is a statement of identity, not just fashion.
Rooted in Black culture, spirituality, and rebellion, MOB blends the raw energy of Houston with a luxury sensibility that refuses to be boxed in.
The brand lives across platforms — from editorials and lookbooks to long-form writing and video — because culture can't be contained in one medium.
The Pillars
Streetwear staples and experimental pieces; tees, hoodies, denim, cargos, upcycled military wear. Every drop is limited. Every piece is intentional.
Jewelry, bags, and lifestyle pieces. Accessorizing is personalization — it's how you make the fit yours.
Photoshoots, the Wayneswrld Wardrobe OOTD series, YouTube commentary on fashion and culture, short films, and cinematic edits.
The Mafia of Baptiste Magazine — a digital zine blending fashion, music, art, culture, playlists, and interactive elements.
