SHOOTA® is a basketball inspired brand of clothing made to wear on and off the court, in and out of gyms and walking the famous NBA/WNBA arena 'fashion tunnels'.
Our mission is to create original designs that stay true to our basketball roots while telling a story of the past, present and future of basketball culture and the fashion related to it.
The independant label was created by Ryan Wormmood, former basketball player and fashion designer out of the Boston area, in attempt to put something fresh out on the court/in the street and not your typical logos that you would see on the daily from commercial/mainstream brands.
The term 'shooter' was coined from any player that can shoot the ball well, especially from deep beyond the three point line. Some of the leagues best sharp shooters include the likes of Steph Curry, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Larry Bird, just to name a few.
In todays league, almost EVERYONE on their team is a 'shoota'.
We have seen BIG support from those who make a living shootin' the rock. We also continue to gain support from Athletes of other sports, musical artists, TV Personalities, Celebrities etc.
