The research behind Drop 03

For our third drop, we turned our focus to motorsport in its harshest environments.

From the rainforest routes of the Camel Trophy to the endless desert stages of Paris-Dakar and the unforgiving terrain of Safari Rally, this collection explores a side of automotive culture defined by endurance, resilience and mechanical survival.
More than speed alone, these stories are about machines built to go further, harder and through conditions few could endure.

The Camel Trophy Tee was inspired by one of the most demanding off-road adventures ever created.
More than a competition, Camel Trophy became a symbol of endurance, teamwork and mechanical toughness, where Land Rovers were pushed through some of the world’s most unforgiving environments.
For this design, we focused on the Amazon route and the raw spirit that defined it, deep mud, river crossings, dense terrain and the constant challenge of moving forward where there was barely a road at all.
The graphic reflects that sense of expedition and survival, celebrating the vehicles and mindset that made Camel Trophy a legend of off-road culture.

If the Camel Trophy explored the jungle, the Paris-Dakar Tee moved into the open brutality of the desert.
Our research for this piece was centred around the Algeria era of Paris-Dakar, a chapter that produced some of the most iconic rally-raid machines in motorsport history.
The design brings together legendary names such as the Peugeot 205 T16, the Porsche 959, the Yamaha Ténéré and the Rothmans Porsche, each representing a different side of the rally’s mythology.
More than a tribute to individual vehicles, the tee captures the scale and intensity of Paris-Dakar itself  a race defined by distance, isolation, navigation and the constant battle between man, machine and terrain.

The third piece of the drop, our Safari Rally Hoodie, was inspired by one of the most respected and punishing events in rally history. Unlike many traditional rallies, Safari Rally was never only about outright pace;
it was about durability, strategy and the ability to survive impossible conditions.
For this design, we focused on a true icon of that world: the Datsun Violet  GT, finished in the unmistakable Marlboro livery that became part of rally history.
The result is a piece that pays tribute not only to a legendary machine, but to an era when rallying demanded toughness above all else and when simply reaching the finish could be as meaningful as winning.
