About Us – SWISH NATION
At SWISH NATION, basketball isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. Founded by Nicky Kliese, a proud mother of two basketball-loving boys, SWISH NATION was born from the real-life struggles of finding durable, comfortable, and affordable basketball gear for young athletes. We know the game doesn’t stop when you leave the court, and that’s why we’ve created a brand that blends streetwear style with performance-driven apparel for players and their families.
Our Motto: Work Hard. Stay Humble.
This simple phrase captures the essence of what we stand for. It’s not just about winning or having the coolest gear—it’s about putting in the work, staying grounded, and remembering the importance of community, family, and respect for the game.
A Brand Rooted in Family and Community
SWISH NATION is more than an apparel line—it’s a movement. We celebrate the connections basketball builds, both on and off the court. Nicky’s vision for SWISH NATION goes beyond creating stylish, high-quality clothing; it’s about fostering a sense of belonging, shared passion, and the bonds that make basketball a lifelong experience. From her own journey as a parent and a fan, she has made it her mission to ensure that every piece of gear reflects the spirit of unity, culture, and community.
Affordable Apparel for Every Player
We understand the pressures families face, especially in today’s world where the cost of living keeps rising. That’s why we’ve committed to keeping our prices affordable without sacrificing quality. Our gear is built to last—durable enough to handle the intensity of training and everyday wear, yet stylish enough to represent your love for the game wherever you go.
More Than a Brand—It’s a Brotherhood and Sisterhood
Basketball is about more than just playing—it’s about friendships, respect, and creating lifelong memories. SWISH NATION is here to support that journey. Whether you’re a player, a coach, a parent, or a fan, when you choose SWISH NATION, you’re choosing to be part of something bigger. You’re joining a family that believes in lifting each other up, staying humble, and always striving for greatness.
