Skater's Paradise

March 09, 2023

Jupiter Florida is an outdoor paradise, especially for thrill-seekers like Zion Wright who grew up skating and surfing. The unique community in Jupiter allowed Zion to flourish in his creativity and enjoy the sense of freedom that skating gave him. With no fear of falling, Zion was eager to skate and embrace all the set backs that came with it. His positive spirit and risktaking mindset blend perfectly with Vans into the creation of Vans Zahba by Zion Wright.

Vans curated a unique shoe optimal for skaters, especially all-terrain drifters like Zion. Drawing from the comforting details of his hometown, Vans include muted earth tones to reflect the charming beach town. In addition a stitching of the area code there is also an embroidery of planet Jupiter invoking the town and all together, making a truly original shoe.

The perfect sneaker does exist and it's one that provides impact protection while still looking cool and being good for the enviroment.

A Ride With Rapha

April 29, 2024

To celebrate the coolest (and finest) cycle-centric brand Rapha's latest drop, we kept the party going after its New York Clubhouse launch with dinner and drinks at Ella Funt.

With a first campaign shot in New York, capturing riders through the lens of street photographers Sarah van Rij and David van der Leeuw, Rapha Performance Sportswear strikes the perfect balance between style and functionality, tailored for life in motion. Just in time for prime sunny weather here in New York, the collection is a perfect choice, both on and off the bike. "For someone like myself who lives in Amsterdam and commutes by bike daily," says Fayrouz Salem, Rapha Head of Lifestyle, "this is a dream come true. We've created pieces that work on the bike without having to compromise on style."

Shop the collection at rapha.cc and in select Clubhouses.
