Speed, streets and freedom in the eternal city.
Surrounded by mountains, tropical weather, and a vibrant culture, Colombia‘s capital has turned the asphalt into a stage where speed and adrenaline write their own memories. It is in this melting pot that the culture of Los Pikes finds its home, a biker brotherhood where acrobatics become identity, endurance, and art in motion.
Stone Island has decided to immerse itself in this culture and offer a unique editorial, diving into the heart of this scene alongside director Isaac Lamb and Arco Maher. Together, they paint an unfiltered portrait of six pilots who define Medellín‘s urban narrative: from Paskin, a living legend who has been setting the pace for acrobatics for over two decades; to Pinina, an emerging talent who breaks clichés; the precise and meticulous Reptile; Dani Castañeda, a female leader who inspires an entire generation; Gonogold, a skater punk spirit on two wheels; and Leon, a veteran of the tracks and a recognised voice in Colombian cultural media.
For weeks, the brand’s team lived alongside these riders on the streets and in their homes, capturing their impossible manoeuvres and strong connection to their neighbourhood, as well as the loyalty and drive of those who find an escape in the world of motorcycling.
History is dressed up in Stone Island‘s AW ‘025-‘026 collection, fused with iconic pieces from Maher‘s archive. A perfect dialogue between technical function and street aesthetics: reflective surfaces such as the AW “991-‘992 Green Reflective Shell Jacket or the SS ‘992 Marina Reflective Jacket; tactile textures such as the SS ‘001 green K-Felt ‘Paper” Nylon Jacket; the hand-painted camouflage of the AW ‘008-‘009 Raso Gommato Field Jacket or the bursts of colour that invade the SS ‘006 Nylon Jacket in electric blue or the SS ‘002 Mesh Jacket in lime green.
