Take Flight Girl "Kayla" in The Original Parkour Tee

The 2011 Take Flight Parkour Clothing Launch is just days away!

Designed and produced specifically for Traceurs worldwide, the 2011 launch is as true as anything we’ve ever made and continue our quest for Parkour purity. By mixing urban concepts, current trends, and the Parkour style that Take Flight has pioneered worldwide for Traceurs since our foundation, our 2011 TF launch supports the 2009 and 2010 launches in a way that only Take Flight could do.

In a mix of simplicity and urban elegance, the new launch will debut 6 brand new Parkour tees as well as a slew of new dynamic colors options of past fan favorites like the Original Parkour Tee and the Original Parkour Tee II. With plans for new hoodies, new pants, and new long sleeves for the upcoming winter as well, this launch is just the beginning of another year of pushing the Parkour plateaus and sharing the discipline of Parkour with people worldwide.

Rivaled in excitement only by the 2009 and 2010 Take Flight launches, more than 30,000 people have already been invited to the official TF Facebook Launch event. If you haven’t joined yet you can RSVP here to spread Parkour and, in Take Flight fashion, be entered for your chance to win and sport the newest and purest Parkour gear on the planet.

Are you excited? We are. August 4th is the launch date. Let the countdown begin.

The Special Edition Take Flight City Tee with Gold foil print had awesome reviews, and with good reason. The unique gold foil and outstandingly brilliant color scheme made it pop like none of the other designs. There have been constant requests for more foil print shirts so we have finally caved in to your demands. Today we release the newest color scheme of the popular Take Flight City Tee: Cardinal and Gold!

To really appreciate the bold foil print it has to be seen, and once you see it you can’t stop looking. The only thing you have to get used to is people constantly asking you where you got the shirt. This newest addition to our variety of tees, raises your selection of foil prints to 4, which is 4 more than anywhere else in the world! We now have 3 different Take Flight City tees in foil and the gold on black Vault Man Tee.

The color combo, design, and high grade material additions of the foil make this unlike any other Parkour wear out there. We are launching this brand new foil design, but we don’t want the other foils to feel left out, so ALL the city tee foils prints are on sale now! The reduced prices are only for a limited time so get yours now. If you can handle all that attention.

The All Over Parkour Tee has been hugely popular but all good things come to an end. We have decided to closeout the remaining inventory of this tee, and just like our other closeouts it means awesome savings passed on to you. At only $12 the All Over Tee stock is 40% OFF!

One of the most unique, yet simple, designs we have created makes this a perfect tee for hanging out at home, going out with friends, and, of course, training Parkour. You can show your Parkour pride with this Take Flight tee, and with 5 bold colors to choose from you can easily find a favorite, or you could get one of each to add variety to any outfit. (Red and Royal Blue are also available but not seen here)

Either way, you can’t afford to wait, because the closeout means availability is limited to the current stock. We love being able to provide the best Parkour wear at the best prices to Traceurs worldwide!

The first thing you’ll see when you watch Corey train is that he is always going big and giving 100%. Next, you’ll notice he is sporting something from Take Flight, seeing as Corey owns at least one of every design we produce.

Corey Jones of Dallas, Oregon was a must for Fan of the Week, because his drive for progress is unparalleled. When Corey is training hard, he sheds his Take Flight tee and shows his devotion proudly with his “Parkour” tattoo on his chest.

The nickname “Monkey” was assigned to Corey at a young age for is wiry build and affinity to climbing things. He has dozens of videos on his aptly named youtube channel:

Corey has been a loyal Take Flight fan since we started in 2008, and his loyalty to spreading the philosophies of Parkour run even deeper. He is always happy to share about his experiences and educates people about how Parkour can be applied to better one’s life, in more areas than just physical movement. Corey, this week we recognize your dedication by naming you the Fan of the Week.

We are launching a new tee today! But there is a twist: you get to decide which one! Here are the details:

We have three new Parkour shirts that we are ready to release. Each of the three is a new color combo of the 3 different shirts featured below.

A new color combo of one of these 3 shirts will be released tonight. The twist is you get to decide which.

Sometime tonight we will post on the Take Flight Facebook page asking which design you want to see launched in a new color. We’ll tally the votes and the most popular choice is the design we will release. It’s that simple. Make sure to stay tuned and let your voice be heard!

We will be spending each of the next 6 days highlighting a tee from our new line! Each day we highlight a tee, we’ll be giving one of them away as well, via the Take Flight Facebook page. Today we are highlighting the Take Flight JFD Tee.

The Take Flight JFD Tee was one of the most highly requested design concepts we received after we launched out 2009 International line and we were more than eager to oblige. People have loved the Take Flight Logo Tees since their launch years ago, but what we never had was a tee that said “Jump Fly Dream,” on it. With the hole in the line we received specific requests for it, and the Take Flight JFD Tee is the culmination of us listening to the requests of Traceurs worldwide. Surprising even to us, the tee turned out to be one of the best looking tees in the 2010 line.

With a name and slogan based print, the Take Flight JFD Tee was intended to be both urban and inspirational. Anyone can put words on a shirt, but we wanted the words to jump off the tee in an eye catching fashion. But this wasn’t easy. We also wanted to make sure we did it right because our slogan “Jump. Fly. Dream.” is something we and Traceurs around the globe live by. Not only does the phrase represent Parkour in every sense of the physical performance, mental training, and philosophy, it is furthermore a call to action that people identify with in every language. It’s not a superficial “Why not?” catchphrase, or a simple and subsequently shallow “Move” motto, it’s a deep routed encouraging mantra that catches the ear and inspires the spirit.

Once the design concept was approved, we moved on the designing stage. Firstly, we wanted the design to be big to show the magnitude of the slogan and motivational force behind the words. Secondly, we knew the placement had to be right to achieve the impact we wanted. After working with different designs, the chest crossing location was chosen and with it the design size. We then worked with effects to achieve our urban flare. Lastly, for the finishing touches we chose the inaugural colors of this tee to be deep colors to reflect “strong mind – strong spirit” including charcoal, cardinal, and purple. The effect is that the black semi sinks into the tee and the white pops off the shirt brilliantly providing an eye catching and captivating effect.

This tee looks brilliant on our site, but it’s even better in person. And to celebrate our 2010 line and this new addition to our selection of Take Flight Logo Tees, the Take Flight JFD shirt is on sale for only $14.95 (regularly $19.95). If you’d like a chance to win one for free, you can also head over to our Facebook page for the opportunity which we will be posting later today!
