Footwear Imprint Clints Heads to Brazil for New ‘Rio Pack’
Written by SOURCE on July 7, 2022
Having released its first Stepper silhouette in collaboration with Patta earlier this year, Manchester-based streetwear imprint Clints is continuing to add to its growing portfolio of retro-inspired designs with a new selection of Stepper sneakers.
For the project, the brand’s founder, Junior Clint, headed to Vidigal, a favela in the heart of Rio de Janeiro and teamed up with local creatives to bring the Brazilian inspiration to life.
Dubbed The Rio Pack, the capsule comprises both “Blue/Aqua” and “Green/Mustard” iterations of the brand’s signature silhouette. Using the same formula as previous designs, each sneaker is constructed from an breathable canvas and houses a an embroidered Step Correct slogan, along with a hidden zip-up pocket which serves as a mini-storage compartment.
In addition to the footwear offering, The Rio Pack also includes apparel which draws its colour inspirations from the classic design of the Brazilian flag. Featuring two ’90s-inspired jerseys in green and “Aqua Blue”, the vests come complete with imagery across the front and embroidered “Step Correct 10” branding on the reverse. A green and yellow Clints-branded belt is also featured as well as a pair of contrast stitch denim shorts.
Get a closer look at the “Rio Pack” in the shots below and head over to the brand’s webstore to enter the raffle, now. A general release for the full collection will also be available on the Clints website from July 10.
