Our latest lookbook eschews the ordinary. For our collaborative collection with Ride Snowboards, we delve deep into the subconscious with an interpretive lookbook that transports the audiences to the far reaches of the mind. Drawing inspiration, literal and figurative, from the magic flowers that adorn the co-branded snowboard, boots, and weather-resistant jacket, Akomplice imagines another universe. Traversing sand dunes and walking on water, we present an alternative reality not bound by the laws of physics. From flannel-lined down jackets, water proof shells and ear-flapped 5 panels to snowboards, boots and bindings the collaborative collection is suited for all arenas. As evidenced by the lookbook, the collection is truly built for any adventure. The technical gear is available now at Ride’s Webshop with the apparel on the Akomplice Webstore now. Check the rest of the photos from the Lookbook after the jump.

TBT of Agenda Vegas around 6 months ago, Patrick Liberty stands in front of the Akomplice booth at the trade show. The collection being sold at the event will be released shortly. Here you can find some of the other booths that Highsnobiety covered during the exhibition.

Based on a mutual reverence for the outdoors makes Ride Snowboards and us fitting collaborators. Even more fitting is the products we are offering, which includes technical products suited for the snow as well as apparel designed for all-terrain use. From a flannel-lined 5 panel complete with ear flaps, to an asymmetrical snowboard dubbed “The Helix,” the Akomplice x Ride Snowboard collection was developed with the complete journey in mind. From stepping out the front door to stepping in at the mountain’s peak we have you covered. In addition to a weather-proof jacket, the collection includes a hearty buffalo check flannel shirt, whose pattern extends to t-shirts, crew necks, and even the lining of the varsity down jacket. Our signature touches also grace “The Helix” snowboard in the form of magical plants that adorn both the board’s top and underside. Developed with ergonomics in mind, the board’s shape is based on the asymmetry of the human body. The collaborative boots make use of proprietary technology dubbed Slime Tongue™, which allows for enhanced forward flex. See below for further technical details about the gear available now at Ride’s Webshop. The apparel collection is also available now on our webstore.
