If there's any sort of extreme sport out there, Santo Studio is probably connected to it in some way, shape or form. The Newport Beach-based outfit has deep roots in the skate community thanks to its connections with the likes of Ryan Sheckler and Nyjah Huston, recently announced the launch of its surf division and now is diving into the waters of MMA with a brand-new "Tempo" collection. An offering of training gear that encompasses hoodies, tops and shorts, the "Tempo" collection was designed to meet the needs of fighters worldwide, from UFC professionals to casual grapplers.
Monochromatic garments adorned with Santo Studio wordmark hits and graphics are the name of the game here, as shown in a lookbook that features MMA royalty including Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson and Marlon "Chito" Vera plus plenty of others. Each piece boasts performance tech and materials (you can check out the shorts from the collection below), ensuring that it can perform both in the cage and on a casual front. "The Tempo collection is a groundbreaking bridge between fashion and performance ready-to-wear" says Santo Studio founder Bear Degidio.
Look for the Santo Studio "Tempo" collection to release on the brand's webstore soon, and stay tuned for more info on a forthcoming Santo Studio flagship store opening in Newport Beach.
