the hoodie with swappable strings

April 19, 2024

In 2016, we launched our first ZOX Hoodies after years of development. My brothers and I are all tall, I'm 6'7", Jason is 6'6", and Jordan is 6'5". Our goal was to create a garment that was perfect for just about everyone, especially taller folks like ourselves.

As important as fit was, we also wanted to infuse it with the soul of ZOX - the beautifully designed bracelets that we've been making since 2016. To do that, we created and patented a new system that we've coined String Swap®.

Our magnetic tips make it easy for anyone to change their Hoodie Strings and customize it quickly. You can swap out the strings in just seconds.

How To Change Hoodie Strings

Want to easily customize your look at style? Our String Swap system allows to you easily swap designs to match your personal style.

One all ZOX Strings, you'll see our patented aglets (the tips of laces or strings). While they may look a bit confusing at first, they're super easy to use.

To help show instead of tell, Jason created this video to show off how easy it is to change out strings.

Our String Swap system is by far the easiest way to swap hoodie strings and makes it a breeze to customize your look. No matter what your style is, there are plenty of String designs waiting for you here.

Zip Hoodies

Each year, ZOX does a new limited-edition Hoodie drop. This past year, our Zip Ups sold out of most sizes within a day. If you're looking for the best Hoodies for Women or the Best Hoodies for men, make sure you're subscribed to our email list for updates on future releases.

New Zip-Ups will be released in late-September or early October of 2024.

Why are they sold out?

Each year, we release our newest versions in super limited quantities. After our release, we spend the next 6 months working to improve the features based on customer feedback. Each garment is hand made and extremely complex.

With the fit, fabric, and feel, we've been told these are designer hoodies that shouldn't sell for less than $200.

Growing up, our parents would have never been able to afford to buy us a $200 hoodie. So, instead of exclusivity through high prices, we've kept them exclusive via limited drops.

Push Pockets®

This is my favorite part of the hoodie, but also one of the hardest to explain over text.

Our ZOX Zip Up Hoodie uses our patented Push Pocket® technology to hold your phones, wallets, and other valuable items in place.

Using a double-layer pocket design with an elastic back, you simply slide your phone back, push against the elastic, and insert it into the inner pocket.

This was a problem my brother's and I spent years trying to solve. Any time we'd get into the car in gym shorts, everything would just fall right out of our pockets. Same thing at the gym. You'd get onto a machine and the first thing you'd hear is your phone hitting the ground.

Push Pockets® keep your most important items secure when it's most important.

Hoodies for Men

My brothers and I wanted to create the perfect hoodie for ourselves. Growing up and being tall was a lot harder. Most of the shirts I'd buy at the mall growing up were a little short at best or belly shirts at worst. Our goal was to create the perfect Hoodie for not just tall men, but as many men as possible.

As a 6'7" man, there isn't another hoodie I'll even try. Hoodies for tall men aren't easy to find, but ZOX makes the perfect length hoodie for taller men. When creating these, we also tested them on our shorter friends who have raved about how great they fit.

Hoodies for Women

I still remember going through the design process. Any time we'd test out samples, we'd make an extra for Kara, my brother's wife. We wanted to make sure that they had the perfect fit for not just men, but for women as well.

We wanted to create a garment that felt empowering to women. One allowed them to express who their style while looking and feeling amazing.

Based on all of the amazing 5-star reviews we've received from women around the US, I think we've done a great job.
