Santa Ana's Clave Ali says Sad Boyz has sold over 1 million T-shirts at Zumiez

A 27-second clip from the Juice Unlocked podcast set, with neon Unlocked signage, Catalyst mic flags and hats, including a Sad Boyz cap, lined up on the table. @ahhlicks_, in dark sunglasses and a heavy chain, says building the company in two years was hard, runs through shout-outs to his partner, Zumiez and the brand, and says Zumiez is giving him a plaque for selling over a million T-shirts. The graphic reads "Clave Ali on selling over 1 million T-shirts at Zumiez."

Santa Ana's @ahhlicks_ says his clothing has moved more than a million T-shirts through Zumiez. He made the claim on the Juice Unlocked podcast, in a clip posted Feb. 22, 2026.

"I have a plaque that I'm gonna get from Zumiez for selling over a million T-shirts," he said. Then he cleared up any confusion: "Not a million dollars, a million T-shirts."

Eight figures in under two years

Juice Unlocked's caption says he built @sadboyzzclothing into an eight-figure company in less than two years. In the clip, he said the climb was hard, adding, "We did it."

He used the moment to give credit, shouting out his partner, whom he called Chucho Fresh, along with Zumiez, Sad Boyz and Sad Girls.

“I have a plaque that I'm gonna get from Zumiez for selling over a million T-shirts.”

More from the sit-down

The on-screen graphic introduces him as "Clave Ali." Three days later, Juice Unlocked posted another clip from the same conversation in which he told the story of how Junior H came to make "Clave Ali," a corrido about his life.

The full episode went up on Juice Unlocked's YouTube channel Feb. 25. According to Juice Unlocked, it covers the Junior H song, how the OC Day Party started and how he went from his first jobs to selling over a million T-shirts at Zumiez.

“Not a million dollars, a million T-shirts.”
