Carpet Company is an American streetwear and skateboarding brand founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 2016 by brothers Ayman and Osama Abdeldayem. Known for limited seasonal releases and a DIY aesthetic rooted in skate culture, the brand has collaborated with Nike SB, Vans, the Baltimore Orioles, and fellow Baltimore band Turnstile. In April 2026, Carpet Company opened a flagship retail storefront in Baltimore's Station North neighborhood, its first permanent retail location.[1][2]
Sneaker Collaborations
Ayman and Osama Abdeldayem were born in Alabama and raised in Prince George's County, Maryland, the youngest of five sons in a first-generation Egyptian-American family. Their father, a physicist, placed a strong emphasis on academic achievement, and both brothers pursued engineering careers — Ayman working at NASA, Osama earning a mathematics degree — before founding Carpet Company. The brothers have described those careers as a detour from their true interests, and brought a hands-on technical sensibility to the brand. [1][2]
Carpet Company was founded out of a friend's basement in the Baltimore area. Teaching themselves screen printing using a machine purchased secondhand, the brothers produced an initial run of ten T-shirts for fellow skaters before expanding into skateboard decks, which were picked up by local skate shops. Within a year, their designs had gained wider attention online. As devout Muslims, the brothers included prayer rugs in many of their early shop orders; a personal touch that reflected the brand's DIY ethos and connection to its community.[3] The brand operates on a limited release model, issuing new products in discrete runs referred to as "seasons."[1][2]
In 2021, Carpet Company collaborated with Nike SB on a Dunk featuring a tear-away material that revealed a different colorway through use. [1][3] In 2024, the brand had their first collaboration with Vans creating a Skate Half Cab and a Skate Cab 4.[4] In 2025, the brand released their second collaboration with Vans in the form of the Vans Skate Old Skool 36+.[5]
Orioles Collaboration
In June 2024, Carpet Company released an official collaboration with Baltimore Orioles that included New Era Cap Company hats and T-shirts that sold out within the weekend.[6]
Turnstile Collaboration
In July 2025, the brand launched a one-day pop-up shop with fellow Baltimoreans Turnstile (band). The release included a limited edition (500) picture disc vinyl record of the band's album Never Enough (Turnstile album).[7] Turnstile bassist Franz Lyons appeared at the 68th Grammy Awards wearing Carpet Company.[8]
