Palace X Rapha Best Cycling Kit Collaboration

By October 2, 2020No Comments

Palace has teamed up with the Rapha brand of cycling performance and lifestyle for an interesting collaboration. The group venture seeks a streetwear imprint that deviates from its skate origins and enters the realm of cycling racing.

The Palace x Rapha line will be worn by the WorldTour team, EF Pro Cycling, this month’s Giro d’Italia. Not only does the limited edition capsule consist of a team kit, but it also offers a variety of casual wear that the team can wear off the bike.

Cycling is a sport renowned for its unrivalled beauty, but often blighted by a blind adherence to tradition. From questioning the chaotic calendar to highlighting new heroes within the bunch, it is our aim to disrupt the status quo in the sport we love. And for this season’s unique October @giroditalia, we have designed to disrupt. For a fresh perspective on the sport, we teamed up with a brand that is alien to its aesthetic, oblivious to its origins, and untrained in its traditions. Created in collaboration with @palaceskateboards, this is a kit custom made for the larger-than-life characters of @EFProCycling. It’s a meeting of minds, a combination of cultures, a coming together of cycling and skateboarding. Unveiled in Sicily today, it will soon be raced across Italy, and seen around the world. It will pitch @EFProCycling into the spotlight and, more importantly, put the sport of cycling in front of new fans. Fans who didn’t know they liked cycling, until now

The kit includes the Pro Team Aero Jersey and Pro Team Bib Shorts II, as well as limited edition socks, caps and musettes. All of these pieces will be available in very limited amounts, along with the men’s and women ‘s versions of the Pro Team Training Jersey and the women’s variations of the Pro Team Bib Shorts and the Pro Team Aero Jersey.

EF Pro Cycling members can ride three separate Cannondale race bikes with Palace x Rapha graphics. From the ride, street wear includes a t-shirt, long-sleeved t-shirt, hoodie, oxford shirt, GORE-TEX jacket, and cap.

Cycling is a sport that is steeped in history. However, Rapha is on the quest of changing the status quo, and the latest collaboration with fellow disruptors, Palace, is sure to do it.
