Many have mispronounced the brand name over the years. The pronunciation originates from the phonetic spelling of "NYC" (en-y-ce) but sounded out in an Italian fashion. This was because the company started under Fila, an Italian-based company. Employees asked how they would pronounce the word replied "en-ne-che", making it the "correct" way to say the brand.

Enyce specializes in old school clothing, with an emphasis on puffy jackets and jerseys with their logos on them.^[5] They also seem to have an official Instagram account, which is owned and operated by Combs. The account became inactive in 2016.
