Streetwear has never been just about clothes. It’s attitude. It’s rebellion. It’s community.
Tenement reflects that same energy — raw, unfiltered, and grounded in the streets. It carries the
kind of story that defines what BUM Black Army stands for.
The Fort Bonifacio Tenement was built in the 1960s, originally meant as housing for families
relocated from the city’s crowded tracks. Concrete walls, 700 families, and a single basketball
court at the center. On paper, it was just another housing project. But the people transformed it
into something greater. The court became more than concrete — it became a gathering place, a
stage for murals, a canvas for culture. Murals rose on the walls, turning bare gray into color and
resistance. NBA superstars once touched down here, but long before and long after, it was the
local community that made it legendary. Tenement is a reminder that struggle and survival create
the strongest culture.
That history is the same spirit running through BUM Black Army. We are not just about fashion
drops — we are about movements born from the streets. Every stitch, every fit, is built from the
same grit. Our pieces are for the ones who grind, who hustle, who know what it means to claim
space when no one hands it to them. Just like Tenement, our style comes from the ground up.
Tenement represents everything we believe in. It’s raw. It’s unapologetic. It’s a living, breathing
symbol of community and resilience. Every crack in its walls carries a story. Every mural carries
a voice. Every game played on that court is proof that culture thrives where the streets take
ownership.
This takeover isn’t about surface or aesthetics. It’s about honoring the roots of streetwear — the
movement, the rebellion, the community that creates meaning where others see nothing but
concrete. Tenement stands as a landmark of struggle turned into power, and that’s the energy
BUM Black Army brings forward.
Tenement is more than a backdrop — it’s part of the movement now. And when we say we
conquered it, we mean we carry its story with us, stitched into every piece we release, every
campaign we ignite. This isn’t just a takeover. It’s a statement: the streets will always belong to
the people, and we’ll always represent that.
