Get ready to ride into the future with MAAP and Perks And Mini (P.A.M.)'s latest collaboration, Outer Terrestrial. This isn't just another cycling kit; it's a bold statement of style and performance. The two Aussie-founded brands have joined forces to create a collection that blends technical cycling expertise with a psychedelic twist. But here's where it gets controversial: is it too much? Or is it just what the cycling world needs to shake things up?
MAAP has a history of collaborations that push the boundaries, from the HOKA-designed Tecton X2 trail-running shoes to the 100% Hypercraft performance sunglasses. This time, they've partnered with P.A.M. to bring a unique graphic design element to the mix. The result? A collection that's as eye-catching as it is functional.
The Pro Air Jersey 3.0 is a standout piece, available in a galactic "Violet Cosmos" or a stealthy black-and-neon combo. It's like a servo sign at 3 AM, but in a good way. Pair it with the Team Bib Evo Cargo, which features reflective graphics that are impossible to miss under streetlights. Perfect for those early morning training rides!
But it's not just about the bib/jersey combo. The collection also includes a new Wind Jacket in aggressively radioactive Glow Lime, ideal for Melbourne's ever-changing weather. And the Air Mesh long sleeve will keep you warm when the mercury dips.
Jarrad Smith, one of MAAP's co-founders, has always envisioned the brand as more than just cycling kit. And this collaboration proves it. The off-bike gear in this collection is just as impressive, with hoodies, tees, shorts, and a full line-up of accessories. It's like a post-ride gallery opening, not just a coffee stop.
So, is it too much? Or is it just what the cycling world needs? Share your thoughts in the comments! And don't forget to check out the collection at both brands' online and physical stores.
