Affliction is a streetwear brand founded in 2005 by a group of friends with a shared obsession: build clothing that refuses to follow industry standards. The name itself is intentional, it reflects the pain and adversity they pushed through to create something genuinely different.
While most brands leaned on conventional printing methods, Affliction went the other way: full-coverage graphic designs that carry real narratives of conflict and contrast, built on a foundation of graphic design expertise and screen printing craft. Every piece is treated as a creative object, not a commodity. Premium fit, fabric, and art are held to the same standard across every category, with no shortcuts.
Counter-culture without apology, and production that backs it up.
The majority of Affliction products are still made in the USA, which stands out in streetwear at this scale. The brand runs vertically integrated production facilities worldwide and employs over 750 people, giving it direct control over manufacturing at every stage. That level of ownership isn't a talking point, it's why the quality holds up season after season.
Affliction spans a broad range of categories, graphic tees, t-shirts, denim, knits, wovens, and outerwear, with one constant: a bold, unapologetic aesthetic that draws in those who want something the mainstream won't give them.
Affliction at Empire: a brand with its own rules, now available across Quebec.
Empire is proud to carry Affliction as part of its streetwear lineup. As a Canadian retailer with over two decades of expertise in streetwear and footwear, Empire selects brands that come with a real point of view, not generic product lines built for volume. Affliction fits that standard precisely: a distinct visual identity, serious manufacturing credentials, and a loyal following that knows the difference between clothing and conviction.
The Affliction collection is available at Empire stores across Quebec and online at thankempire.com, with the full selection accessible no matter where you're shopping from.
