ASTRO 9 was created in West Des Moines, Iowa, by 18-year-old high school senior, Grady Walston.
Grady started creating his own clothing and wearing it to school in the fall of 2023. It all started with a shirt with a homemade vinyl patch. On the back is said “Mental Health Matters,” and on the front it showed an astronaut with a sticky note that read:
When the pressure to be a 10 is out of this world…”
( just try to be a 9…)
It was instant! Friends, classmates and strangers alike started inquiring where they could get the shirt. Astro 9 was born!
It didn't take long to realize there could be a greater purpose in the patch. Grady decided he wanted to do something impactful. Each shirt would have something to support mental health awareness and a portion of the proceeds would be donates to help local youth emergency service.
His home sunroom became the ASTRO 9 studio! Racks and racks of shirt selections, sizes styles and colors for people to come pick from! New shirts every month with new encouraging messages! Kids would be following him home from school to pick out their size and colors. Within 90 days, Grady sold an upwards of 500 shirts. Then another 500 by June, 2024.
Grady took his proceeds and hired an Attorney to create an LLC and help him file for his a TRADEMARK! His small business startup was finally “official” in April, 2024.
Outside of ASTRO 9, Grady is a 5X State Champion Soccer Player and a National Runner Up. Soccer has been his life from a very early age. Now, ASTRO 9 is a close second. He will be playing college soccer this fall and studying entrepreneurship and business.
