For Tim Hazure, a clothing and footwear store has been in the making since high school. 
Hazure said he came up with the idea for a high school project in his entrepreneurship class. The project was his final assignment and part of a business competition. 
“I based the business plan on streetwear and sneakers,” Hazure said. 
In high school, Hazure named his clothing company Abstract, and he said he felt his business stood out from the competition, most other students were creating plans for restaurants, while he was building an online clothing and sneaker company.  
Hazure said his “stuck out” to the judges and he placed second against a renewable resource company. 
“After the competition, I realized it could be a real thing,” Hazure said.
After high school, Hazure attended the University as a marketing major, and he graduated in December 2013. Hazure said after graduation, he really wanted to focus on building the company. 
Hazure said he felt the company needed a name change. 
Abstract became Abstract Dimension because Hazure said he felt “abstract” was too broad of a title, and Abstract Dimension represents his “creative space.” 
Hazure said Abstract Dimension will be a men’s online clothing website, focusing on streetwear clothing and footwear. The price range will be moderate to high end. The website, theabstractusa.com, will be up and running by Nov. 15. 
Hazure said the brands he is starting with will include Pop Socks, Marcus Elliott and vintage or dead stock Nike. He will also sell an in-house brand under the same name. Hazure said the in-house brand will be designed by himself and collaborations with other designers. One of the designers will be Brian McKay. He said McKay has years of experience in the clothing industry and also runs Pop Socks. 
Some things Abstract Dimension will offer are “Pokémon’s” Squirtle socks designed by Pop Socks and gray joggers by Marcus Elliott. 
Because the store is online, Hazure said he uses a warehouse to keep his inventory and send it out. 
Hazure said he’s working on expanding the brands he has with more big name accounts. He said he’s hoping to expand from just vintage Nike to newly releases. But, in the meantime, he is working on getting the website ready for business.
