Jiu jitsu is a serious martial art, but it's also trendy as hell. From celebrities like Jonah Hill proselytizing to new studios popping up in cities everywhere, and of course, the influence of MMA and UFC in particular, BJJ is a cultural signifier just as much as a workout or meditative practice. With that kind of cultural prominence, you already know streetwear brands are selling curated gear to the community.
A Collaborative Grapple
Albino & Preto has been around for years now, standing out as the leader of the jiu jitsu-inspired streetwear scene, and teaming up with sneaker brands like Nike SB and Saucony. For its latest partnership, A&P is teaming up with Japanese sneaker boutique atmos and Asics for a two-pack of martial arts gi-themed Gel-Kayano 12.1s.
