South Florida – Local entrepreneur Andres Urbaez is expanding his growing streetwear brand, Beyond Thought Apparel, with the release of a new collection called Beyond Thought University.
The South Florida-based brand was founded with a message that goes beyond clothing. Urbaez says the idea behind Beyond Thought Apparel is to encourage people to pursue ambitious goals even when others may doubt them.
“I started this brand because I have always wanted to influence others and make it known that anything is possible,” Urbaez said. “I have always been into fashion, and I found real joy in putting my own spin on clothing that represents uniqueness.”
Beyond Thought Apparel has developed a community around that message. The brand focuses on individuals who are building businesses, pursuing creative work, or working toward goals that require persistence and self-belief.
The newest drop, Beyond Thought University, reflects that mindset through a university-inspired theme.
Urbaez describes the collection as a symbolic “campus” for people who think differently. Each piece represents enrollment into a mindset focused on leadership, creativity, and resilience.
To reinforce the theme, every purchase from the collection includes a student ID card, allowing customers to feel like members of both the Beyond Thought community and the symbolic university.
“Every drop is a new way to bring the Beyond Thought message to life,” Urbaez said. “With Beyond Thought University, the idea is that this is your starting point. Your enrollment into this way of living.”
Beyond the fashion element, Urbaez says he wants the brand to have a direct impact on aspiring entrepreneurs.
A portion of every order is currently set aside to support individuals who are pursuing business ideas or creative ventures. Through an application process, people can submit their ideas and pitch their goals for funding.
Selected applicants receive financial support to help take the next step toward building their ideas.
Looking ahead, Urbaez plans to expand the initiative into a formal nonprofit organization focused on supporting young entrepreneurs with mentorship, resources, and funding opportunities.
“When you start out as an entrepreneur, you will be doubted, laughed at, and looked at like you are crazy,” Urbaez said. “I want to encourage young entrepreneurs to take the risk and grow, not just in business but as a person.”
Urbaez believes the brand’s message resonates with people who are trying to build something of their own despite uncertainty.
With the launch of Beyond Thought University, he hopes to continue growing both the clothing brand and the community behind it.
The Beyond Thought University collection will be available in March 2026 at
