Pretty cool stuff!

“The Mountain: a metaphor for any tough obstacle in our lives.  We could go around it, but we choose to climb it… without great speed, but with an unwavering commitment to the effort it takes to face it, head on.”

Follow Aaron Edge on Instagram (@man_of_multnomah) for updates of this VERY rad new creation.

What is up FOLLY folks?! I’m VERY proud to introduce TRAFIK’s collaboration with the international street-wear brand YEAH! With their powers combined, they developed this very rad, very custom tee that has a bunch of other goodies to go along with it.  This one of a kind combo was designed by BONCU, a graf artist and rider out of Indonesia.

The fixed gear culture is in no way limited to the states.  This global fixed gear collaboration is a primary example of it.

“Fixed Gear Culture is a global brotherhood of True Riders.  This limited edition tee shirt is dedicated to the riders who have left it all on the streets, doing what they love.

We ride together

We die together

NO RIDER LEFT BEHIND

This is Global Fixed Gear Culture.” – TRAFIK x YEAH!

Before I get into the quality of this tee, I want to point out some of the secret logo placements.  When I first got the package from TRAFIK I didn’t really know what to expect other than something I’ve probably never seen before (I was right). So I’m looking over the tee and other goodies, and it wasn’t till I went back to hang it up that I noticed TRAFIK x YEAH!’s logos on each sleeve. I was like DAMN! Those sneaky bastards… I love it!

Opposite sleeve, opposite logo.

Being that BONCU is a graffiti artist, I figured he would incorporate some of that style into the font, and that he did. The font that was created for the project is based off ancient Sundanese text. You can see it reads “TRAFIK x YEAH!” on the front & back of the shirt and “LA x BDG” at the top of the skull (BDG is short for Bandung, the city where YEAH! originated).

“YEAH! is a brand that represents graf art, fixed gear riding, and international youth culture – so we had to work with them!” – TRAFIK

The Ride x Create vibe is alive around the world.  I’d expect nothing less.

Each Limited Edition shirt comes with a printed cardboard label connected by a small chain with the idea behind the “True Riders Society” printed on it; as well as, 2 woven labels proudly showing off TRAFIK x YEAH!

The detail in this collaboration package is amazing.  Nothing was left out including the envelope it arrives in; it is also custom printed on the front and back. Each package will come with a special TRAFIK x YEAH! vinyl reflective decal, the front skull & helmet design as a sticker, and TRAFIK vinyl bike decals.

OH, and… If you order 2 shirts TRAFIK will include a YEAH! branded canvas carry bag and stickerpack.

The first orders will receive an extra YEAH! stickerpack (while supplies last).

This is a LIMITED EDITION item. TRAFIK only have a certain amount in stock, so when they’re gone, THAT’S IT!

WHEW… That was a lot of great info; so, beyond ALL the radery we just discovered together FOLLY friends…

THIS. TEE. IS. SOO. AMAZINGLY. COMFORTABLE ! ! !

These T’s are 100% pre-shrunk cotton – the quality rivals American Apparel I feel.

I spoke with the guys over at TRAFIK and was head over heals about the quality of the shirt and how it was printed. High quality is really the only way to describe it.

That quality along with TRAFIK x YEAH! collab’n to spread the very rad True Riders Society message is a win/win/win!

SO, what is your next step? Head over to TRAFIK and pick one (or two) up.  I don’t foresee these being available for long. Things on this level of radery never are.

I would also recommend giving a LIKE and a FOLLOW to TRAFIK on FB x TW x IG; as well as YEAH! on FB x TW x IG!

Stay Consistent x Progressive

Stay Positive x Supportive
