Staying on track with the brand’s mission, Akomplice keeps up. The Colorado company’s latest 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 video teaser above serves to set the scene for the upcoming tri-branded capsule collection with Brazilian based Aesthetic and Ease.
Thanks to the video, viewers are given a slice of the 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 will drop as part of Akomplice’s Spring 1 delivery, stay tuned.
