One young entrepreneur in the San Antonio area is teaming up with Spurs All-Star DeMar DeRozan to sell his clothing line, COMP10, according to a report from Spectrum News.
DeRozan will be selling his COMP10 line of clothing and apparel exclusively at True North, which is an Alamo Heights establishment owned and operated by 18-year-old Eddie Pagan. According to Spectrum News, DeRozan's apparel will be the first line sold from the store at wholesale.
Pagan opened the store with his parents shortly after high school. He keeps several rare items on-hand from Supreme, Nike, Off-White and Adidas. The shop is already a popular destination, and several famous athletes visit on a regular basis:
“Personally I never felt like I fit in, like, period,” Pagan told Spectrum News. “So that’s why I found clothes as a way that I could fit in.”
DeRozan's manager came into the shop one day to ask Pagan if he would be interested in carrying the COMP10 line at True North:
“We’re like, ‘Do you mean DeMar DeRozan?' And he’s like ‘Yeah, DeMar DeRozan,’ and I just kind of looked at him like ‘uhhhhh yeah, sure why not?’” said the younger Pagan.
“At first, I didn’t know who he was talking about and then my son’s like ‘DeMar DeRozan, he plays for the Spurs’ and I’m like ‘Oh okay,’” said Pagan’s father. “I think this is going to be one of his ways to reach out to the city.”
DeRozan is expected to host a meet and greet at True North on Oct. 12 for the launch of his line. The store's website will have most of the COMP10 apparel available, but there will also be a few exclusive items offered at the store itself.
