Take Flight

Today is day 4 of our feature highlighting of the Parkour shirts of the 2010 line! In addition to highlighting the Roof Jump Tee, we are giving one of them to a lucky fan. Read this blog and you’ll find out how!

In one short week the Roof Jump Tee has already distinguished itself as a Parkour classic. As incredible as anything we’ve ever seen, the admiration and desire for this tee has already been endless. And although one can speculate why, we don’t think it needs much explanation why. The tee itself is in the same conceptual style as the Vault Man Tee, and depicts a Traceur in action performing a breathtaking roof jump between two old houses in a village in France. The detail, the texture, and the word “Parkour” conspicuously placed near the bottom of the tee culminates in an inspirational masterpiece that melds style and pure art.

Although we want to make it very clear that we do not condone or encourage jumping from rooftops, the point stands that jumping from rooftops can be a part of Parkour and has been demonstrated in countless amateur and professional Parkour videos. What we created with this shirt was not something to say, “Go be like this Traceur and jump from a roof of a building.” Rather we created a shirt that depicts Parkour at an elite level and capture the beauty of the discipline at its finest. We couldn’t be happier with the result, and we are so happy Traceurs around the world feel the same.

You can pick up a Roof Jump Tee now via our online store for only $19.95. We currently have the tee in a blue on black color scheme and a black on silver color scheme, and we will be releasing a new color combo in about a week.
