Hot on the heels of presenting its cozy Fall/Winter 2024 lookbook, Palace has just unveiled its latest drop: a cycling-centric collaboration with Rapha.
Rapha is a regular collaborator in the streetwear scene, linking up with Palace on previous collections, while also teaming up with Patta on past drops. Now, the brand's latest collaborative work takes inspiration from the 80s and 90s, when vibrant graphics and prints were at the forefront of casual fashion.
The capsule also leans into the cycling industry's unlikely sponsorships during this era -- so as part of Rapha's 20th anniversary and Past Forward celebrations, Palace and Rapha are paying homage to some of the era's most memorable looks. Various heritage Rapha silhouettes have been injected with Palace's signature irreverence, with playful inversions of cycling’s distinctive language, colors, and sponsors.
Highlights from the collection come in the form of a new Merino Zip Knit, while other staples, such as Classico Long and Short Sleeve Jerseys are welcomed alongside a vibrant Shell 6-Panel cap and Merino Soc.
Take a closer look at the new Palace x Rapha collaboration above and it'll be available on October 4 at 11am BST via Palace and DSM. It drops later that day online in the EU at 12pm CEST and in the US at 11am EDT and 8 am PDT. Meanwhile, the drop will be available in Palace's New York store at 11am EST and in the LA store and via DSM in at 11am PST. Japan and Kore's drop will arrive in-store and online at 11am JST on October 5, and on the same day, China-Palace WeChat will release the collection at 11am CST.
