London-based streetwear label Palace and performance cycling brand Rapha have reunited once again for a collection inspired by the Tour de France.
The new collaboration comes two years after Rapha first linked with Palace for the 2020 Giro d’Italia, an annual multiple-stage bicycle race that typically takes place in Italy.
Kicking off the collection in Copenhagen, the race will mark the return of Tour de France Femmes, which will offer women riders the chance to take part in the world’s most famous cycling race for the first time since the 1980s.
To celebrate one of the biggest cycling events, the duo have created an exclusive On-bike uniform, designed for the EF Education-TIBCO-SVB and EF Education-EasyPost team. The collection also features an expansive offering of genderless core staples, dubbed Off-bike, which have been created to be worn in between races.
Noteworthy pieces from the Off-bike collection include a collaborative pair of Crocs, complemented with co-branded Jibbitz, and a range of technical skirts, shirts, and caps crafted from water-repellent, crinkle-resistant ripstop nylon.
Elsewhere, the On-bike range boasts the very best of Rapha’s cycling gear including training jerseys, bib shorts and special-edition socks.
Both “On-bike” and “Off-bike” will be available through Palace’s webstore, rapha.cc and in select Rapha Clubhouses from July 15.
