FAQ — Kitty Gang, Nior & the drops
Everything you'd ask before you cop — Nior, Capsule 01, the Baepsae collab, sizing, shipping, collectibles, and the "Nine Lives" series.
The Essentials
Who is Nior?
Nior is the black cat at the center of Kitty Gang — a premium fashion and collectibles house based in Las Vegas. Spiked collar, gold eyes when the light hits, main character energy in every frame. He stars in the original animated series 'Nine Lives' and headlines every drop.
Where can I buy Kitty Gang clothing?

Is Kitty Gang the same as Baepsae?
No. Kitty Gang is the brand and universe (Nior, the series, the characters). Baepsae is our launch retail partner. Capsule 01 is officially the 'Baepsae × Kitty Gang' collection, which is why every shop link routes to baepsae.com. Future capsules may drop through additional partners. Shop the collection →
When does Capsule 01 drop?

Kitty Gang clothing runs in unisex sizes XS through XXL. Tees are boxy midweight cotton; hoodies are heavyweight 400+ gsm with a slightly cropped fit. Full size charts (chest, length, sleeve in inches and cm) are on each product page at the Baepsae collection. Shop the collection →
What is Kitty Gang?
Kitty Gang is a premium fashion and collectibles house built around Nior, a black cat with main character energy. Every clothing drop pairs with an episode of the original animated series 'Nine Lives.' Editorial visuals, limited runs, character-driven design — wear the story or get out of frame.

Are Kitty Gang collectibles limited edition?
Yes — every Kitty Gang collectible is a limited edition run, individually numbered, and never restocked once sold out. The Blep Collectible and future vinyl figures ship with a numbered COA (certificate of authenticity). Available only through the Baepsae × Kitty Gang collection. Shop the collection →
What is 'Nine Lives' and when does it come out?
'Nine Lives' is the original animated series at the center of Kitty Gang — nine episodes following Nior through the city he runs. Episode 001 is in production now. Each episode drops alongside a matching fashion capsule, so the wardrobe on screen is the wardrobe you can wear.
Does Kitty Gang ship internationally?

Where is Kitty Gang based?
Kitty Gang is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The brand, animation, and creative direction are built out of Vegas; production and fulfillment for Capsule 01 run through our launch partner Baepsae. Shop the collection →
Culture & Deep Cuts
What does 'loaf mode' mean?
'Loaf mode' is cat slang for when a cat tucks its paws under its body and sits shaped like a loaf of bread — content, low energy, unbothered. Kitty Gang's Loaf Mode Hoodie is named after Nior's default state. Heavyweight cotton, cropped fit, laser-yellow embroidery.
What is a 'blep'?
A blep is when a cat leaves the tip of its tongue sticking out, usually by accident. It's a signature Nior move and the inspiration behind The Blep Collectible — a limited edition designer figure that captures Nior mid-blep, individually numbered with a COA.
What is black cat streetwear?
Black cat streetwear is a subgenre of character-driven streetwear centered on black cat iconography — mystery, luck, night energy, main character attitude. Kitty Gang leans hardest into this space with Nior as a recurring animated protagonist across capsules and episodes.
What's the difference between a designer collectible and a toy?
A designer collectible is a limited-edition art object — numbered runs, higher-grade materials (heavyweight vinyl or resin), packaged for display with a COA. A toy is mass-produced for play with no scarcity. Kitty Gang's Blep Collectible is firmly the former.
Are there streetwear brands with their own animated series?
It's rare but growing. Kitty Gang is one of the first premium streetwear brands built around an original animated series ('Nine Lives'), where every clothing capsule pairs one-to-one with an episode. The garment IS the merch; the episode IS the marketing.
