Continuing to blaze the exploratory path on which our brand was founded, this creative endeavor comes in the form of short video shot on the streets of São Paulo, which lifts the veil on the rarely seen nuances of Brazilian street/art culture. The attached video teaser serves to set the scene for our upcoming tri-branded capsule collection with Brazilian based brands Aesthetic and Ease. Within the 1:47 montage, you are provided a slice of life of storied Brazilian street artist, and founder of Ease, SLIKS. Hailing from the favellas of São Paulo, SLIKS allows for a brief peek into his daily and nightly routine. From skating the streets of São Paulo to updating their walls with fresh paint, SLIKS explains that “you might leave the streets, but [they] never leave you.” Directed by Gabriel Cupaiolo and Levi Vatavuk of DOM Films, the video is set to the musical stylings of Elo da Corrente. The unseen collaborative offerings are set to drop in early 2015.
