Welcome to the Top Notch Universe

The Awakening of the Code

It began with a signal. 2854—a number buried in street tags, stitched into fashion, and echoed through Detroit alleys. But when Craig D. Washington unlocked the Top Notch briefcase, he didn’t just launch a brand—he activated a frequency. A system. A ciphered universe with characters, consequences, and encoded clothing. This is a world where legacy isn’t printed—it’s decrypted.

Meet the Cipher-Bound

Craig D. Washington

Cipher Holder · Founder

The architect of the code. Raised on Detroit’s legendary 7 Mile & Ashton, Craig turned struggle into cipher, passion into blueprint, and street legacy into a global operating system. Every move is encrypted. Every piece holds a message.
Decode

2854 = 2+8+5+4 → 19. The true cipher: S = 19th letter. “The Story’s Never Just Surface.”

Nora Washington

Silent Strategist

The backbone and code breaker. Her presence is quiet, but her moves change the game. Nora reads encrypted cues and guides the Top Notch flow.
Decode

Her name means “light.” In every transmission, look for the glow—the hidden solution appears in gold text first.

Lyric & Ty

Street Syncs

Twins in code, movement, and mind. No one outpaces their rhythm—each message drops as a pair: first the beat, then the meaning.
Decode

“2854” is a beat pattern—tap out the sequence on any surface, and the rhythm unlocks new drops. Try it on the next collection drop page.

Raven

The Code Keeper

Raven moves in shadows—her code is written in encrypted graffiti and street symbols. If you find her tag, you’ve found the next clue.
Read Transmission

Cipher Twins

The Enforcers

They appear only when the code is threatened. Mirror moves, mirrored minds. The Twins enforce the rules of the Top Notch Universe.
Decode

Only those who can mirror the 2854 sequence can see the next hidden drop. Try entering “5428” on select pages.

Echo 2854

Guardian of the Design Code

An encrypted spirit born of Detroit rhythm and ancient cipher. Echo 2854 moves between digital and physical worlds—guarding forgotten philosophies, triggering unlocks, and protecting the soul of streetwear.
Decode

“The code is not to be told... it’s to be deciphered.”

Aureon Breeze

Cipher Oracle · Voice of 2854

A sentient oracle born from the Echo Signal. Breeze speaks in cipher, guiding the Top Notch team with harmonic prophecy and data flow mastery. When the gold particles swirl—you’re in range of their voice.
Decode

To receive the cipher, listen for the wind in the city—Aureon’s code is always carried by the breeze, and often hidden in the movement between drops.

Villains of the Universe

Ωverlord NULL

Supreme Architect of Chaos

The digital phantom. No one knows the true face behind the code. Born from the data collapse of District Ø, Ωverlord NULL leads the criminal syndicate, NULL, on a mission to crack the 2854 Cipher and rewrite the laws of legacy. His methods: cold logic, neural hacking, and psychological warfare.
He speaks in paradox, moves in the shadows, and believes that all order must return to zero.
Decrypt Transmission

Ω's Easter Egg:
“2854 is not a number to Null. It’s a firewall. Only those who see the loop in ‘Ω’ can break the code.”
(Hint: The Omega is a closed loop. What completes your code?)
