Empowering the LGBTQ+ Community Through Fashion and Expression

In a time when queer self-expression is more vital than ever, we want to remind you all of the power of pride and individuality. Founded with a vision of creating bold, body-positive underwear and apparel, Knucks isn’t just a brand—we are a celebration of queerness, designed for everyone regardless of their body type. With our fetish-inspired aesthetic, leather accents, and bulge-centric cuts, we want to empower individuals to embrace their bodies—and their identities—unapologetically.
From bear runs to leather weekends, Knucks is redefining the way the LGBTQ+ community wears and expresses itself, offering pieces that are as sexy, stylish, and fearless as the people who wear them.

Bulge-Centric Designs That Command Attention
Every brief, trunk, and jockstrap we make is meticulously designed with the center bulge in focus, enhancing the wearer’s profile with support, lift, and sex appeal. The signature sneaker-inspired elements—leather labels, pull tabs, and lace-up cords—add a playful, streetwear edge while framing and highlighting the most defining assets.
In fetish spaces and beyond, confidence is power, and our products are built to ensure that you take up space with pride. Whether it’s a low-slung jockstrap that leaves just enough to the imagination or a trunk that hugs in all the right places, Knucks celebrates the beauty of men and queer bodies.

Fashion Meets Fetish: Queer Style Without Limits
Our goal is to be somewhere between the intersection of fashion and fetish, creating pieces that fit in both the bedroom and the club. With sleek fabrics, bold colorways, and leather-inspired detailing, Knucks offers gear that’s sexy, functional, and kink-friendly.
At events like CLAW Cleveland, Texas Bear Round-Up (TBRU), and Maryland Leather Weekend, Knucks has become a staple for leather lovers, pups, and fetish enthusiasts. Whether it’s our jockstraps, or mesh shirts made for play, Knucks makes sure you will be seen, sexy, and celebrated.

Resisting Through Self-Expression
As queer rights face increasing attacks, fashion can become a form of resistance. Knucks embodies this spirit by creating pieces that boldly reject conformity. Each pair of underwear is a statement—a middle finger to censorship and a celebration of queerness.
Wearing KNucks empowers individuals to wear their bulge with pride. Whether at work or the bar or walking down the street, we want our underwear to remind you that queerness is very powerful, and here to stay.

Building a Community
We are deeply rooted in the LGBTQ+ community, showing up at the events and spaces where queer culture thrives. From sponsoring leather contests to collaborating with gay sports teams, Knucks stays very active within the community it serves.
At each event, whether it's North American Bear Weekend or Folsom East, we strive to be more than just a vendor but part of something bigger. Whether we donate gift bags, collaborate with other queer artists, or simply create gear that makes people feel beautiful, our hope is always to inspire.

Knucks: More Than Underwear—A Statement of Pride
At a time when the LGBTQ+ community continues to fight for visibility and representation, Knucks offers more than just fashion. Each pair of briefs, jockstraps, or boxer brief is a celebration of queerness—a bold declaration that sexy, stylish, and inclusive fashion belongs to everyone.
As Knucks continues to grow, our mission is becoming more and more clear to amplify our voices, challenge norms, and inspire self-expression—one bold design at a time.
